Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 2)

I don’t know why he bothers. His name will be reviled by whichever side writes history. But maybe his mental faculties are too far gone to realize that now.

Or maybe, like trump, he doesn’t care how he’s remembered in history, he can’t conceive of the world after he’s gone.

Was it shot in New Mexico? The state offers more incentives to film there than Arizona, or most other states for that matter.

Longmire was set in Wyoming and shot in New Mexico. It amused us to see pueblo-style decorations on some of the buildings.

Honestly though, I haven’t seen a party taken over so thoroughly as this since I was in school and the theater kids showed up

“Cocoa…Good!”

Yeah, they can be a bit dramatic.

Fire…BAD!

They’re just acting out.

As a former theatre kid, I I feel the script that portrays theatre kids as divas is overplayed. Props to those who are rising above and can stage this conversation in a different direction.

Yeah, maybe we should pull the curtain on this digression.

Oh it will. It’s just nice sometimes to fall back to those cherished yesterdays, before 9/11, before Trump, when the SDMB was a place of scholarly conversations about things like how to light farts.

I think we figured it out.

Especially for those of Mediterranean descent

Emphasis mine:

The 55-year-old woman, who is understood to be Canadian, had only strayed a few yards into the water when she was attacked last Friday.

According to the local authorities she “attempted to engage” with the shark when the 6ft-long predatory fish struck off Thompson Cove Beach in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

It is understood she had one of her arms amputated below the wrist and the other half way up her forearm. She has since returned to Canada for further treatment.

The species was not confirmed, but local reports suggested it was a bull shark.

You do not want to mess around with bull sharks. I remember a video of an “expert” wading in amongst them and acting all calm and collected…until one decided it was hungry and tore his calf muscle off. He wasn’t quite so calm and collected after that.

Three men pretending to work for Elon Musk showed up at San Francisco City Hall demanding to be let in or else, then fled when the cops were called.

Funny enough, what they did is probably less illegal than what the actual DOGE is doing.

It seems being a (phony) tech-bro in 2020s America carries the same cachet as wearing a snazzy army uniform carried in 1900s Germany
