On Sunday, I was involved in a car accident. Unfortunately insurance won't cover it, and I have no car now. I really, really need one. So I set up a GoFundMe. I would appreciate any help, whether you can donate or just share the link. gofund.me/3f72e394

I dunno, I haven't had a problem. Sounds like you're the common denominator in your problems here.

If I was a publicly known journalist for a major national publication and I tweeted this I would immediately shrink and retreat into a small cave.

This would be super embarrassing even if you weren't a journalist for a major publication.

A. Cops are lazy. B. Nothing about this sounds urgent enough to have someone there all day or rush to return. It doesn't even sound like they were entirely certain a crime had been committed.

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

@jamesgunn.bsky.social I have an emmy winning idea for Peacemakers season 3- bring in the obscure New Guardians/Peacemakers/Catwoman villain Snowflame. He is powered by cocaine. Need I say more?

Fajitas are the death of white civilization I guess

onion person @junlper.beer · 1d

setting aside the fact that they just don’t know what jokes are, this gives a big insight into the mind of white nationalists. they are deeply paranoid about the idea of being percieved as anything other than Epic Stoics

It's hilarious how forgotten every early Image property that isn't Spawn has become. Image has done some cool stuff since but other than Spawn no one gives a shit about the original founding series.

I think Stellar Blade being such a wet thud broke these people in a way. They just really want us to all think that everyone secretly loved it and it's what we all want, when really it was just kinda mid and what people really want is realistic characters with actual personalities doing call stuff.
