New Years Eve Overnight Open Thread (12/31/18)
The thing about places like Portland and San Francisco is that they aren’t nice. They have a reputation for being wooly and hippieish and silly, but they are in fact very angry places, full of very angry people. They are also highly segregated places in ways that the South and Southwest really aren’t. Angry white people with money make the world go ’round, apparently. Kevin D. Williamson
“I refuse to patronize businesses that reject cash payments, even though I primarily use debit or credit,” City Councilman Ritchie Torres of the Bronx
“Well, now we know. Facebook has a secret rulebook for policing speech. I was banned from posting on Facebook last week for 24 hours. Why? Because of a post from back in 2016 about North Carolina’s House Bill 2 (the bathroom bill). Facebook said the post went against their ‘community standards on hate speech.’ Facebook is trying to define truth.” Rev. Franklin Graham New Year's Eve Joke H/T Hrothgar.
Environmentalists in the Philippines have deflated plans for what was to be the largest balloon drop in an indoor dome.
This is a first for the celebration. The will fly overhead and join more than 1,200 cameras which will be in place during the event. Other drones will not be allowed to fly. As a safety measure, the drones will be tethered to a building to prevent them from falling into the massive crowd expected that night. The crowd will is expected to reach up to 2 million people during the New Year’s Eve bash on Monday, December 31.
Cyber bullying legislation, necessary legislation or a slippery slope? Internet trolls may run rampant these days, but now they have one less state to do it from. According to a report from Metro Times, a Detroit-based news site, cyberbullying is now a crime worthy of possible jail time for offenders.
Cursing is a bad habit and one that I am trying to break. One way is, whenever I catch myself in an angry cursing moment, to recite a prayer instead. And the goto prayer in these multiple moments is always the Lord’s. It’s brief. It’s beautiful. Plus I can say it at high speed and by rote; a Christian prayer wheel.
A funny thing happened at Time Magazine, none of these people were Time's Person of The Year. China's practice of "disappearing" political dissidents, corrupt public officials and virtually anybody deemed a threat to Communist Rule has been widely documented in the Western media (but not so well-documented in state-controlled mainland media). But in 2018, the regime of President Xi Jinping widened its dragnet to include a broader mix of high-profile figures, including a movie star, foreign nationals and even the head of the an international law enforcement organization.
All of us must face death eventually. That is even true of our best friends, the cars. It’s inevitable and natural. But when the death is indicative of a greater and more depressing trend, then it’s extremely sobering. This year, we saw the death of a lot of sedans. Like, a lot a lot. Here are the cars that died in 2018.
But few places get it quite as bad as Norilsk, Russia, where residents won’t see a sunrise until mid-January. Worse yet, it's arguably the coldest city in the world.
California authorities have captured an inmate who escaped from San Quentin and went on the run for four days.
Two sailors who were low on food and stranded at sea for nearly three weeks desperately needed a miracle.
