NEWSY BITS

From a Netflix statement issued this afternoon:"Media Rights Capital and Netflix are deeply troubled by last night's news concerning Kevin Spacey. In response to last night's revelations, executives from both of our companies arrived in Baltimore this afternoon to meet with our cast and crew to ensure that they continue to feel safe and supported. As previously scheduled, Kevin Spacey is not working on set at this time."The statement was issued one day after Spacey posted a bizarre apology on Twitter in which he said "I choose now to live sa a gay man."

"A federal judge in Washington D.C. blocked parts of Trump's ban on transgender military service today. This means that "openly trans troops may be able to join the military starting in 2018." "

===

"Marisa Harris, 22, of Olney, Maryland, was driving her Ford Escape on eastbound Interstate 66 at about 4:15 p.m. when the boy jumped onto the highway and landed on her SUV. Her boyfriend, riding in the front passenger seat, grabbed the wheel and was able to steer the SUV safely off the road, authorities said. Harris died from the impact of the fall."

All the while this crowd was gathered on the National Mall for suicide prevention, a field which the dead woman wanted to work in after college.

The stupidest question ever asked: "Didn't you already napped once today?"

IMAGES

Guy saved some of his favorite wedding photos.

You think a computer was used to add all that drama?

That would ruin it for me. It's like starting off your marriage on make believe bullshit.
Same here...

Moving on...

Protester shows his bare chest daring a Soviet tank to kill him during a protest against Soviet intervention during the Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia in 1968.

Alexander Dubček, First Secretary of the regional Communist Party of Slovakia, was rising to power and wanted to reform Czechoslovakia for more citizen rights, despite the country being part of the Warsaw Pact and communist. He was gaining tons of support and could have succeeded if not for Soviet military intervention, which the supporting citizens did not even really challenge as they had no chance of defeating them. Control was reestablished and such notions were squashed for decades to come.

An American holds a sign in Washington DC, US in 1979 during the Iranian Hostage Crisis. After the Iranian Revolution, angry mobs and militia stormed the US Embassy in Tehran 3 times, occupying it and taking everyone hostage the 3rd time. 52 hostages were held for 444 days. Americans at home became aggressive towards all Iranians. What's interesting is many of the Iranians in the US were fleeing the same people who were holding the hostages in Iran.

Dirty car looks like mountainscape.

How wonderful.

I remember once my dad was beating me, so I pretended I was dead, so he started crying and I thought it was funny and laughed and long story short I'm deaf in my left ear.

THINGS THAT REMARKABLY TURNED OUT WELL

===
It's important to set high standards...

===

Remember that time David brought a sling and stone to a sword fight? Well, it never happened and you've been trolled by a bunch of long dead guys.

THINGS THAT CONFUSE ME

Anybody?

===

WD-40 joke aside, why do some humans think that they have to smell like ANYTHING but human?

===
New Audi A8 Side impact protection.

I'm not exactly sure how this is advantageous.

===
If she's not Russian I will kiss your ass.

===
Upfront, I hate KKK as much as anyone.

But we must be very careful about prohibiting ideas, cause one day they may come after mine and/or yours. There's a reason we have a free speech clause in our constitution and we can't let some acne-faced college kids take it away from us.

There is always a kid who will only make worms or snakes out of clay the first try.

I think these ceramic skulls are great, but I would use them for the fire ring.

When you realize the new hire knows which flavor of crayon taste best.

If you don't see what's wrong with that, ask your husband.

===
People in Columbia, SC have no inkling of an idea how to use such a complicated configuration.

I like their fish sandwich and go there every two weeks or so. Once I watched as eight cars waited for the first drive thru, totally ignoring the other one. You can't get out of line and cut in front, because they have a plastic pole barrier. Yes, we are that stupid.

===
Who in their right mind would do this?

And it's not even that well done.

===
You ever wonder why your shrimp tastes like floor?

And that's just one room. Across the globe there are thousands and thousands of rooms just like that.

===
I have a question...

What the fuck are they feeding that dog.

The caption read:
"Dad marking out on a small football pitch (soccer field), with his blind son's hands, what's going on down on the actual pitch."

Then there was this in comments:

Who the fuck cares? Seriously. It's like watching an execution filmed live and point out that it wasn't a 38 caliber, it was a 32 and it wasn't a Smith&Wesson it was a Colt. Just stop. Nobody gives a fuck about shit like that.

The best kind of alcohol is a lot.
