A little cross-country, gentlemen?


Something like this happened ten years ago to a house just a couple miles away from where I was living at the time. Everyone in my neighborhood was immediately out on their porches trying to figure out what the hell they just heard. Absolutely deleted a couple of houses.




Turns out it was a "doing it for the insurance money" arson and everyone involved went away for a long time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_Hill_explosion

If they wouldn't have killed anyone I'd almost be impressed. Causing 4 million bucks worth of damage while you're scamming insurance out of 300k is going above and beyond.

These read a lot like some of the training I've been in as well - your job is to get in, stop the threat, and secure an area for Fire/EMS to extract and render aid. If you don't like it, there are other jobs out there.

I'd almost be impressed with how they completely forgot (willingly or otherwise) the core lesson of the entire loving training.

But the parking lot was secure so I guess they got something done.

Seth Green's NFT show was centered around the premise of "what if your friendly neighborhood bartender was Bored Ape Yacht Club #8398?" But then, reportedly, his ape was allegedly stolen and apparently he can't move forward with the show after losing the intellectual property rights of the main character.

Yeah, my sperm donor was a dyed-in-the-wool conservative (and Obama's election completely broke him; unsurprising that he died less than two years after that, good riddance you son of a bitch), but he absolutely loved stuff like Robot Chicken or MST3K. Way, way back when, I used to race sprint cars in central Illinois, and we'd get home after race nights, bake a frozen pizza and be home just in time for MST3K on Sci-Fi Channel.

This is what I was kind of expecting. In a hostage situation, rushing in can get more people killed than attempting to negotiate. I don't know how they could have thought it was a hostage situation though, I mean surely they can hear more gunfire? And with kids bleeding out, that logic doesn't apply anyway. And someone who has already shot up a place and murdered some kids is not taking hostages and negotiating.

I'm really fuckin sick at the idea that we spent the summer of 2020 protesting police to defund them because of how useless they are only for 2021 for them to be refunded, and now in 2022 we are once again reminded that they are worthless.

One of my local city council members announced allocating city money hiring fund to get more police officers for our city the day after the shooting. Just absolute garbage trash leadership from the national to the local level on this stuff.

So also didn’t owning one of them apes not grant you any of the IP rights anyways? Just a URL and maybe the ability to make ‘transformational’ work?

So having ape#42069 in your crypto wallet or not would still require licensing rights from the creator, which…they could just do.

Ah, one more!


If you’ve ever spent any time working alongside cops, nothing about this is surprising. Their only motivation is to cover their own asses. Ever. It’s why they hit vulnerable people with everything they’ve got, then “accidentally delete” the body cam footage. I’ve encountered it many many times in my career.

My partner was working OT last month and witnessed a sergeant put together a fake story about why the officer was speeding when she got in an accident. It’s their MO. They only serve themselves.

I’ve got boatloads of stories of them being complete do-nothing shitheads. I’m sick that instead of it just making my work marginally more difficult, nearly 20 sweet kiddos had to die over it.
