Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (6/21/23)

Quote I

“How we found it does indicate it found a place to lay down before it died, so probably something internal, but no real clear idea other than that,” David Rehak Suma

Quote II

"He's kind of become my house mascot. I kind of look at it as a security thing. Who wants to break into a house with a 9.5-foot werewolf sitting outside of it? I know I wouldn't." Mary Simmons of Dayton, OH

Quote III

“I will do a gulping grunt sound with my throat and he’ll come find me.”Rex Colubra

I'm not sure about you. But, my part of the world is still here in one piece. Yeah, it's warm. It's summer.

We had five years to stop using fossil fuels to prevent wiping out “all of humanity” from June 21st 2018, Greta Thunberg claimed in a now-deleted Tweet.

Today is the anniversary of a doomsday prediction made by Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg when she was just 15 years old June 21st 2018, stating the human race had five years to end fossil fuels or face certain death. She wrote then:

A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.

You may be able to delete your ludicrous tweets. But the internet is forever.

A couple of interesting questions. Is gender dysphoria a mental illness? And if it is would that qualify one for protection under the Americans With Disabilities Act?

The Supreme Court will soon decide whether to hear a case, Kincaid v. Williams, that turns on whether gender dysphoria is a protected category under the Americans With Disabilities Act, a decision that brings into focus how the clash over transgender rights could arrive at the high court’s docket in the heady days before the 2024 presidential election.

The ADA, co-sponsored by Senators Ted Kennedy and Harkin and passed in 1990, mandates that a “covered entity” shall not discriminate against “a qualified individual with a disability.” It aimed to expand the protections of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which encompasses race, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, and gender identity, to reach those with disabilities.

The ADA defines a “disability” as a “physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.” In 2008, Congress mandated that “disability” shall be “construed in favor of broad coverage of individuals under this chapter, to the maximum extent permitted.”

Murderer Ted Kennedy is still fvcking over this great country.

This my Moron friends is a spiffy headline. Spare relationship causes awkward split - SFA assistant bowling coach out after affair with athlete

NACOGDOCHES — Stephen F. Austin State University assistant bowling coach Steve Lemke chose to resign rather than be fired this spring after the university discovered he had an affair with a student-athlete.

Lemke, 38, who is married to head coach Amber Lemke, resigned April 10 from the program he helped coach to two national titles and two second-place finishes.

“He’s not working here anymore,” SFA athletic director Ryan Ivey said. “From a departmental standpoint, he had a choice and he chose to resign.”

The Daily Sentinel has chosen not to identify the athlete, who was a member of the bowling team.

Talk about balls and using the wrong head.

Man up and bring this suit in Japan not Lebanon. Gutless bastard. Oh that's RICH gutless bastard to you and I.

The Reserved Embrace Theory

A fringe theological theory, advanced by Rev. Robert Kirsch, holding that a Catholic priest could have sex without violating his vows as long as the sex was passionless. The church rejected his theory.

Quityer bitchin'. It's a summer time vacation you will never forget.

Brit tourists have revealed how they were left 'shaken' after the off-road 4x4 they were in broke down on a 'cliff edge', leaving the massive vehicle tilting near a steep slope in Turkey.

Josef Killey, 24, and partner Joseph Morphet, 29, were with 14 other tourists, travelling along a dirt track when the vehicle ground to a halt.

A tyre popped, leaving the vehicle tilting towards the side of a slope, in a scene that evoked the ending of the legendary 1969 heist film the Italian Job, where the robbers' loot-laden bus hangs over the edge of an Alpine road.

NSFW Perhaps people like to spend extra money on glass cleaner.

Behold the en-suite bathroom on offer in this London real estate listing. One can lie back in bed and watch as one's evening companion realizes that they must extrude a loaf in this thing while you observe.

I would eat at this restaurant in a heartbeat.
