It's super dumb, but I can't stop myself. This is just kind of how I do things.
Tumblr CEO continues to post through it. He's replying to three day old tweets about wishing he'd pull a Lowtax whining about death threats and how they're illegal on Twitter.com

37. This man doing an epic bomb prank who's catching felony charges is 37.

https://twitter.com/NOLAnews/status/1761035796071526867

quote:

A Reserve man was arrested at Lakeside Shopping Center in Metairie after authorities say he created a bomb scare at the mall in order to film patron reactions for his YouTube channel, according to authorities.

Joshua Jones, 37, is now facing felony charges, including two counts of making a bomb threat, said Sgt. Brandon Veal, spokesperson for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. A conviction is punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

"Incidents like this are a prime example of how social media platforms can be misused," Veal said.

Jones is accused of going to the shopping center, 3301 Veterans Memorial Blvd., late Sunday morning clad in a ski mask and carrying a black bag. Jones walked around the mall's Food Court and placed the bag down on the ground, telling a person nearby that it was a bomb.

The witness realized Jones was recording their reaction with his cellphone, authorities said. Jones placed the bag near a second witness and told him, as well, that it contained a bomb.

Deputies were notified, and they walked over to Jones, who intended to record the interaction on video, the sheriff's office said.

Jones was arrested and admitted that the bomb was fake. He told the deputies he was a prankster and planned to use the footage for his YouTube channel, according to authorities.

"The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office takes all threats against public safety seriously," Veal said. "Individuals found responsible will be held accountable."

In addition to the bomb threat charges, Jones was also booked with false communications with the intent of causing an emergency response.

Whenever the Jackass crew did something dangerous in public, the only ones at risk of injury were themselves, not any bystanders.

Yeah, they always seemed like good people to me mostly. Idiots for sure, but careful not to include people that didn't want to be included. I didn't like the show all that much, even as a teen, and while it might've been a precursor to all the heinous prank poo poo social media is filled with I feel it's wrong to blame them for that development and judge them in the same way.

Jackass was only funny when people were doing stupid poo poo like riding grocery carts down a steep hill and crashing into a tree but everything they did in public for shock value was intensely cringe and embarrassing. It doesn't matter that they never did bomb threats because the whole point was to mess with other people's emotions and get "funny" reactions. Whether they like it or not they are to blame for people like this guy existing

Its been a while since I've seen Starship Troopers, but I think it would be mostly indistinguishable from a wide swath of 80s/90s scifi-action movies if it didn't have the "would you like to know more?" bits. Those movies were often over the top and had comedic bits with probably as equally trenchant political commentary as Starship Troopers did. However for whatever reason we don't have interminable discussions about if "The Running Man", "Die Hard", "Alien", or "Commando" are satirical films.

it's because feeling smug about starship troopers is an oblique way for nerds to call their enemies (dumb jocks who like the movie for its ACTION instead of for its SCI FI SATIRE) nazis, op

also alien and die hard aren't satirical at all. commando is kind of goofy in retrospect but it wasn't made as a satire -- more of an action-comedy. the running man is the only truly intentionally satirical movie there.
