Weirddave Used ONT. It's Super-Effective!

Welcome to Thursday night! Tell me, does anyone else online get pwned on a more regular basis than Sulu?

New Contender For Headline Of The Year


'Your stepdad is lost at sea!' California man whose billionaire stepfather is on missing sub asks OnlyFans model to SIT on him 30 minutes after pleading for prayers, as he triggers war of words with Cardi B over Blink-182 concert

I...I...I know all of those words, but they don't make any sense in that order. I mean, they do because I read the article, but it's just a bizarre situation. How do you guys feel about the sub? I'm sorry they died, and I hope their first inkling of any problems was the implosion itself (At those depths, the implosion would have occurred in about a millisecond, and the human nervous system take at least 150 milliseconds to process sensory input. They would literally have not known what hit them). The celebrations from some folks over the tragedy is baffling to me.


Weird Item Of The Week

Well now that's a thing I didn't know existed until now, and frankly I was better off. If you want to listen to a clip (you really don't, trust me), you can do so here. Maybe I'll save this to use instead of Yoko when y'all don't behave yourselves.

The Media Lies

The Real Story of “The Central Park Karen”

Amy Cooper was not the internet’s first “Karen” — the pejorative used for a demanding, entitled white woman. But as the Central Park dog walker who called the police on a black birdwatcher last year, she quickly became the paragon of the archetype. In a video that went instantly viral, we watch as she summons law enforcement to protect her from the man, whose race she mentions three times in a matter of moments: “I’m going to tell them there’s an African-American man threatening my life.” Just over a minute long, the video flooded social media alongside a second one filmed that same day: the horrifying footage of a Minneapolis police officer kneeling on the neck of a man named George Floyd. The conflation of these two stories in the public imagination began almost immediately — and not without cause. The Central Park video looked really bad.  Many accused Amy Cooper of “weaponizing white tears.” They said she was deliberately attempting to sic racist cops on the birdwatcher, Christian Cooper (no relation). Comparisons to Emmett Till were instant.

Surprisingly enough, the edited 60 second clip that went viral failed to reveal the whole story. More at the link.

Forget Eating The Bugs, Be The Bugs

There's a Parasite That Triples Ants' Lifespans… And It Actually Sounds Pretty Great

Hosting a parasitic tapeworm isn't usually a desirable state. But the life of an infected ant known as Temnothorax nylanderi hits differently.
Suppose an ant of this species nibbles on some woodpecker poop as a young larva and contracts a tapeworm (Anomotaenia brevis). It could end up living three times longer than its peers, if not more, and it will rarely have to move a mandible.
Uninfected ants will do the worker's chores, carry it around, feed it, and groom it for the rest of its days. These pampered ants barely leave the nest.
A team of researchers led by entomologist Susanne Foitzik at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Germany has now figured out a possible explanation for this strangely idyllic lifestyle.
When a tapeworm sets up shop in the gut of an ant, it appears to pump antioxidants and other proteins into the creature's bloodstream.
It's still unclear what health effects these special proteins have, but there's a real chance they are part of what helps infected ants stay young and yummy.

The author HAS to be a Marxist. Only a Marxist would classify being infected with a parasite that makes you sit around doing nothing while others are forced to care for your needs while weaking the society as a whole as “Sounds pretty great”.

Of course in the ant's case it's so they can be more easily eaten by a predator. Hmmm. Soylent Green is Marxists, anyone? Might as well get some use out of 'em.


Hey Guys, She's Single!


I divorced my dying husband — he wallowed in self-pity and killed my vibe

She's not, actually. Some other poor fool married this malignant narcissist, but I couldn't resist the headline.


Scoring Update: Handguns:140 Bears:3

They breakdown the numbers and detail the incidents at the link. Still, I'm not eager to confront a bear with just a handgun.
