What is dead may never die.

Zombie toys?

I doubt they’ll fit an actual Toys R Us store in an airport or cruise ship. :grin:

I’m sure these will be your standard tiny gift shops that travelers normally see, with an emphasis on toys, that just happen to have the same name as the old store.

I wonder about the people in places like Manhattan and Long Island

Remember that guy who stole the ruby slippers that were on loan to the Judy Garland Museum? He claims he thought the rubies were real. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I posted that update over in the Saving the Ruby Slippers thread in IMHO about 12 hours ago.

This was the first I had heard that the stupid MFer thought the rubies were real. :slight_smile:

Right. He’s not the sharpest tack on the board. Also, he’s not been very forthcoming regarding who the fence was and who the “other person” he gave the things to are. IMHO, the judge should take that lack of cooperation into account when sentencing him.

He will have a chance to learn in prison

He’s was in a wheelchair and on oxygen for his court appearance, and is in hospice care, so the prosecutor recommended no prison time so the thief can die at home. Sentencing is in 2 1/2 months, if he’s still alive.

Hamas-Israel conflict edition:

Well isn’t he just gross.

I’m gonna go ahead and guess that he doesn’t get to be Assistant Professor of Genetics for long.

That said, it sounds like he’s saying Hamas are inhuman and Israel is cleansing terrorists. Which is strong invective but not really out of step with what a lot of people would say.

Unless I’m misunderstanding.

He could mean that Israel isn’t targeting humans, but things like the weapons and infrastructure the humans are using. At least, I hope that’s what he meant. But I’m afraid that it probably isn’t.

I don’t know what he actually meant but in this day and age you’d think people would be smarter about making ambiguous tweets on hot-button issues.

What he means seems pretty clear to me.
I don’t think there are any excuses to be made for this.

I looked at his Twitter profile and he’s spent what looks like his last couple of hundred or so tweets replying to people saying pretty much this.

If he didn’t mean to say that Palestinians aren’t human and that it’s necessary to cleanse them, he did a really shitty job of expressing himself. What an idiot.

If he meant to say that Israel is targeting weapons, infrastructure and stuff, he would use a word like people, residents or citizels, not a word like humans.

Trump spawn thinks Americans need training with high capacty rifles in case people in motorized paragliders invade their homes. (Also works on 30-50 feral hogs.)
