The back end of a bus fell into a sinkhole in downtown Pittsburgh in October of 2019 (only one passenger and the driver were onboard, no injuries). It made news world-wide and spawned endless jokes, memes and even Xmas tree ornaments and other trinkets. Google “sinkhole bus Pittsburgh” for more photos and fine merchandise.

You would love Cedars of Lebanon State Park in Tennessee. There’s a trail near the cabins with a bunch of ancient sinkholes.

I can show you exactly where it is.  
Both the 70 foot sinkhole and the one with the car in it are in Whitefish Bay, WI. A suburb of Milwaukee.  
If you google Whitefish Bay WI Sinkhole you should get a ton of hits from the local news outlets as they’re both still very much current events. The car was, just within the last week or so. The big one happened over a year ago, but it’s still an active construction site and whole area is closed off.  
It’s pretty much exactly where that garbage can is:

And when I see the hangul printed I can still pronounce it. Good to have a phonetic alphabet, although by now my accent probably really sucks.

The idiots are burying us in bullshit. And the moronic courts sometimes agree with them (don’t forget your gratuity).

it IS enough to just say “That’s it, I’m out of here”

Except there isn’t any “out of here” to get to.

Like it or not (and often I don’t) we’re all stuck on this same planet with each other. (Yes, including the folks on the space station, who are technically not on the planet but who are sustained by the planet’s human systems.)

Yeah, of course. I thinking more about having a conversation with one of these dumbasses, being gobsmacked at their stupidity, and leaving the room.

They absolutely can’t be reasoned with.

Trump is calling it selfish that they are going to leave the flags at half staff during the inauguration. Right. THEY are bein selfish.

Well, as soon as he is sworn in, he can make that his first executive order, to raise all the flags to staff-and-a-half in his own honor.
