Monday Overnight Open Thread (12/22/25)

Quote I

"Unfortunately, it sounds like this is what that bear has potentially found under the homeowner's house in the crawlspace. It's unfortunate. We want to see the bears in the woods, not in people's homes." Cort Klopping, with CDFW.

Quote II

“We support LGBTQ rights fully. This has nothing to do with identity. Providing powerful hormones to a person in a psychiatric crisis without proper psychiatric safeguards is not affirming care. It is reckless. In this case, it acted as an accelerant, intensifying instability, impairing judgment, and compounding risk.”Dustin Bailey

The real reason for the season.....

Lately you Morons have been an unhappy lot. Too much fun! Too much seriousness! Not enough of this...... Moar of that..... Less of this........

Here's hoping that the Horde Herd is happy tonight...............

It's bad enough to be called a Masshole. Insult to injury, Masshole Genius Award Winners!

A Rescue Report from New Hampshire Tees Off on Two Lost Hikers
A recent report published by the state’s Fish and Game Department pulls no punches in its assessment of two hikers who got stuck on a mountain and required lifesaving

The report of the mission passes more than a little judgment on the two hikers at the center of the ordeal. Here are a few highlights

They lost their composure and would not listen to any advice being given to them.
The two were ill-equipped for a hike of this magnitude and had departed for a nearly 9-mile loop at 1:00 p.m.
They lacked appropriate clothing for a hike in the weather conditions they encountered and were navigating with a phone when they lost the trail.
Chris McKee, a conservation officer with the Fish and Game Department, shared a few more details about the hikers in a story with New Hampshire Public Radio. McKee said the two were wearing work boots, not hiking boots, and lacked the gear you might take on a night hike in winter, such as crampons, snowshoes, or functional lights.

“These individuals just didn’t have the proper gear or experience to be out there hiking in this,” he said.
