Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 2)

That’s why I clicked to see which post he had replied to.

Fuck, that is my bad. I didn’t see the link on my phone. I retract at least half of my post. :stuck_out_tongue:

(Now, if I had posted it, I would have quoted part of it to make it clearer who the guy was, but at least a linked reply is helpful and should be acknowledged.)

Who needs to get a source for a quote when you can just ask an AI to make up what a politician would say?

Not the New York Times.

“The reporter should have checked the accuracy of what the AI tool returned”. Indeed, New York Times. Also, someone – by which I mean YOU – should have checked the accuracy of what the reporter reported before printing it. That’s kind of the deal if you want to be the newspaper of record.

Well, at least they told their readers they’d fucked up. They still clear the absolute minimum bar of journalistic ethics! We take comfort where we can find it in this timeline.

I’m gobsmacked anyone thought that design was a good idea. I kinda wonder if they knew how it would be received but thought they might somehow get away with it.

I’m also very disappointed that IndyCar has allowed itself to be co-opted by Trump to run this race in DC as part of his 250th celebration. I’m sure that people like Penske are Trumpists, but I don’t expect all of the team principals and drivers are. And they should know that ETTTTS: Everything Trump Touches Turns To Shit.

Here’s a kind-of funny (but badly spelled) set of “rules” for the race.

BTW, it would appear that some racist asshole has started up a site to sell bootleg products using the shirt’s design. (Not going to provide the link.)

And now, for something completely different - men injecting their balls with saline to make their scrotums swell up to melon-sized.

Mar-a-Lago Balls. :exploding_head:

What an incredibly stupid idea.

They just want to keep up with their orange hero who famously has testicles the size of beach balls.

The mayor of Arcadia, CA has plead guilty to spreading propaganda on behalf of the Chinese government.

In her plea agreement she admitted to not notifying the attorney general that she was working for the PRC.

If she had, I’m sure it would have all been fine.

When I had dogs, I used to occasionally take them on a hike that ended at the only nude beach in South Africa.

One gentleman had done this to himself, which I was unfortunate enough to see. He literally had two grapefruit sized balls. I cannot imagine how uncomfortable that fetish is, and how he goes though normal life with clothing on.

Codpiece.

Dangit, why can’t I find that one @Qadgop_the_Mercotan thread?

I have it bookmarked.

I don’t think it’s an especially new thing, though. I remember, something like 50 years ago, seeing an older guy in the YMCA locker room who had very large balls, which I thought was some kind of medical condition at the time. Since then, having perused the occasional odd bit of gay porn, one might fund this fetish expressed therein, and might have done so any number of years ago. I truly don’t get the appeal (even of naturally “large” balls, not that I’ve ever seen anything notable in that area), but then there are many fetishes out there, most of them very opaque to me.

Thanks… I think.

After hernia surgery a lot of blood drained into my testicles. I literally had grapefruit sized, purple balls. I had to sit carefully for a while. Clothing consisted of very stretchy, loose athletic shorts.

A swift kick to the crotch would probably be the equivalent of a tactical nuclear strike.
