People are making memes of a picture from the debate, in which Vivek Ramswaney flashes double V-for-Victory Nixonfingers, and Nikki Haley looks like she just realized she took the wrong pills and might be looking at a rocky next 72 hours.
There are a lot of actual psychopaths in the world. Be careful out there. You need to keep your head on a swivel in a good old-fashioned cockfight.
A Russian scientist was following his hiking app on an amble.
He followed it right off the edge of a 500 foot cliff.
A Russian scientist fell 500 feet to his demise after a hiking app led him astray in the Berchtesgadener National Park in Germany, according to The Sun.
The 34-year-old scientist, identified as Dr. Dmitry Fedyanin, was directed onto an unmarked path while attempting to descend towards Gotzenalm near Koenigssee Lake, The Sun reported Tuesday, citing local police.
Following the app's alleged misguidance, Dr. Fedyanin "slid down at least 150 metres (492 feet)," Upper Bavarian Police spokesman Maximilian Maier said, according to the outlet. The scientist had been reported missing until mountain rescue teams discovered his body at the base of Hoher Laafeld peak Aug. 12.
"Our investigators assume that the male individual slipped in the rocky area which features some patches of grass," Maier said, The Sun reported. Officials suspect the man succumbed to head injuries sustained during the incident.
Further evidence that people need to get their noses off their phone screens more.
A judge has refused Arrec Baldwin's motion to toss out a civil lawsuit against him, filed by the crew of Rust.
A New Mexico judge has rejected a bid from actor Alec Baldwin's legal team to dismiss a lawsuit from crewmembers working on "Rust" who sued the actor and the film's producers, alleging that the cast and crew had been endangered due to cost-cutting measures.
To be fair, their lives were more endangered by the presence of Arrec Baldwin.
The film has faced considerable production delays and legal hurdles since the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, whom Baldwin accidentally shot while on set.
I don't understand how or why they can continue making this snuff film.
Chief District Judge Bryan Biedscheid issued the ruling and refused to delay proceedings as well, despite claims from Baldwin's team that he would have to invoke the 5th Amendment due to fears anything he says in the civil case could be used against him in a possible criminal case, according to the Associated Press.
"So what's going to happen is Mr. Baldwin is going to assert his 5th Amendment rights and the plaintiffs are not going to get any discovery in the meantime," Baldwin's attorney told the judge. Prosecutors have not indicated when they will announce charging decisions against the actor.
A CNN "journalist" discovers that the right is using "verbal jiu-jitsu" to take leftwing buzzwords and mock them. He doesn't like it, no, he doesn't like it one bit!
CNN appears unwilling to admit that Americans have grown antipathetic to certain leftist terms on account of the loathsome and/or meritless concepts they signify.
Instead, to make sense of the ongoing backlash to leftist terms and concepts such as "woke," "critical race theory," and "equity," senior CNN writer John Blake has penned an article explaining why Republican "verbal jiu-jitsu" is to blame.
Just so we know what we're dealing with:
He looks like he's pleased to have just "won" yet another round of Ookie Cookie.
Hysterical Always Online lefties all have that smug Groomer Smile.
Blake defined "verbal jiu-jitsu" as a "form of linguistic combat in which the practitioner takes a political phrase or concept popularized by their opponent and gradually turns into an unusable slur."
Aw, Princess, we was only funnin'. Now why don't you be a good little girl and put on a nice sundress and maybe I'll take you out dancin'.
An example would be the Biden administration and Democratic establishment's hostile use of the term "MAGA" as a modifier for those populist conservatives and Republicans whom they wish to mark as extremists.
Blake suggested that the adoption of new terms or turns of phrase by those with differing worldviews is a means to "avoid taking opposing arguments head on and instead redirect their opponents' momentum to beat them."
No, we're taking our opponents' stupid braindead insults and turning them around. Calling someone a "Dark MAGA Extremists" is not an "argument," dickpleaser.
The CNN writer presumed further that terms like "critical race theory" are radioactive, not because of their original, intended meaning, but because of their misuse.
...
"Mention almost any touchstone phrase adopted by the left in recent years ... and it has been redefined or tarnished by conservatives," wrote Blake, later equating today's conservatives with the Democrats of yesteryear who supported segregation.
Robin DiAngelo, the University of Washington associate professor who penned the book "White Fragility," told Blake that "diversity" and "equity" are the next terms to be tarnished by virtue of their prospective utterance by deplorables.
Well at least he went to an objective source without any vested interest in this fight for comment.
...
Blake stressed that Democrats must get better at "jiu-jitsu" soon or risk losing the 2024 election.
The CNN article was roundly ridiculed online, with some X users quipping that the so-called verbal jiu-jitsu bouts ahead may be one-sided, particularly if Democrats continue to have trouble defining terms as fundamental as "woman."
Robby Starbuck suggested that Blake's article would have been better titled "Democrat policies prove unpopular when scrutinized."

Scott Horton, director of the Libertarian Institute, attempted to capture the liberal thought process behind the CNN piece, writing, "Why is it that every word we use to describe the way we think ends up toxic to everyone else? It's the conservatives! They're cheating by reminding people what horrible, humorless scolds we are! Not fair!"
Ron DeSantis told a story about a woman who had survived an abortion. The story did sound a little unbelievable -- the fetus was, according to this story, stuck in a bedpan and set aside to die.
The left did not bother to find out if the story was true or not. The left, who are almost all now self-declared Professional Disinformation Experts, just immediately all declared The Meatball was making it up.
Well, you'll never guess: The woman exists and identified herself.

Miriam "Penny" Hopper says that she did, in fact, survive an attempted abortion.
"The nurse wrapped me in a face towel, placed me in a bedpan on the back porch of the clinic...""
This was a perfect opportunity for the fat retard and Grooming Enabler Steve Schmidt to embarrass himself publicly yet again, and that opportunity was seized with relish:
This little girl is great. Though I'm still not sold on the whole concept of Tween Political Advocates.
