I do kinda wonder which Russian bot farm is pressing this story so hard to reunite the chuds. No other day would a picture of one punchable rear end in a top hat cause a news tsunami that hard.

Yeah you don't get that many kids and chaperones complicit in lovely behavior unless it's the prevailing attitude at the institution.

That institution being a rich enough Catholic School in Kentucky to bus a load of chuds to DC didn't leave much doubt about whether they were going to double down and close ranks. They might do some token punishment at the most. Maybe a written apology authored by the PR firm.

Bet the mom gets a sweet gig on Breitbart though.

True, if he wasn't singled out he wouldn't be remorseful for being part of that crowd- none of the other kids have felt the need to apologize for their actions. The school brought them there to politicize them and let them make asses of themselves, and now they're in damage control mode. I kinda feel bad for him now, the way he blinks and looks around when he gets confronted shows me that he wanted someone to get him out of that situation. Hell, at 16 I wouldn't know what to do either (well, I knew not to get into political shitshows, but still). gently caress everyone that let this become a thing I guess.

As for the mom, Sarah Sanders is leaving soon, isn't she?

So I went out to get photos of the moon. Didn’t have an optimal setup (couldn’t use my lovely tripod and my telephoto lens is terrible in low light) but I still managed to get at least one halfway decent shot.



Moon was super cool and the whole experience was worth my fingers feeling like they’re on fire as they thaw out.

Yeah I'm not surprised those shitheads showed up, but the MAGA dorks are even dumber for engaging in it and then trying to somehow put the blame on the Native American's who were there.


Also spoiler alert, these schools groups are usually a bunch of shitheads whenever they come to DC (because they treat DC like it's a theme park and not say, a place where other people live and work). The only shocking thing about these idiots is that someone managed to film them being assholes.

I'm surprised they strayed so far from the Holy Grail of lovely school tour group drop off points, the Pentagon City Mall.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

I think I mentioned the Fyre Festival movie on Discord Friday/Saturday, y'all should really watch it.

I fully expected it to be just 90 minutes of raw, unfiltered Schadenfreude, and while the build-up towards the massive failure that it was definitely gives you a bit of that (because my god, what an absolutely predictable trainwreck every step of the way was), it focuses a lot on other areas like the issues with social media influencers, the team that worked 24/7 for a year to get an app going, only to lose their jobs and have their future stained, and the folks in the Bahamas that put their life blood into it.

One example came from a former union president's testimony, Sweeney-Newbern said, that at a meeting to address the placing of nooses a white supervisor bemoaned that "too big of a deal" was being made.

That supervisor went on to say, "There was never a black person who was lynched that didn't deserve it."

e: gently caress it, why not

I'll say this, after calming down (this poo poo hits a bit close to home for me so it took some time) I have a much bigger problem with the school than the kid. Kids in general are fuckwads, the group of kids were a bunch of fuckwads, and he may have done some fuckwady things, but the school bused them in and the chaperones let this poo poo happen. I watched a couple videos of the thing and the kid was a lot more nervous than I thought he was at first.

He's not as innocent a victim as he paints himself, but a lot more of the kids around him were being worse.

Apparently, the chaperones didn't just let it happen, they encouraged the kids to shout back at the Black Israelites, which is ridiculously irresponsible. The adults set the standard and the tone for what was acceptable and what to do when confronted. The adults bear the bulk of the responsibility and unfortunately, I doubt any of them will get doxxed or pressured like the kids.

That's about the best they can come up with, that the black israelite dudes goaded them into acting exactly like a bunch of maga-hat wearing chuds would act. All the kids and the teachers that let them do this deserve to get raked through the coals, not just the one that got singled out.

You ever notice how chuds will work their asses off to dox a dead kid to prove he was actually a thug because he smoked pot once or shoplifted some soda, but they will write big ole thinkpieces about how it's important that racist white kids face zero consequences ever, including the consequence of inconvenience?

I dunno, just a thing I've noticed while toiling on this planet.

That Fyre Festival documentary is fascinating. I would have assumed that an investor would want to see some kind of business plan that breaks down expected costs and profits and basically shows that they've put some thought into how to execute a music festival. Not just "check out these photos of supermodels on the beach, and we've got Drake coming!" It's a real triumph of marketing and social media manipulation.
