Post 9/11 thread for people to post the wildest shit they remember from 01 to 06

I'll start:

People thought Osama had an entire mountain hollowed out that he was using as his base and that's why AQ was hard to find and that somehow a group of like 30 dudes arranged this.

A gi joe style hide out for al qaeda that is way too elaborate.

This isn't a "This award goes out to Donald Trump, I hope he is a force for peace and acknowledges the need to cool tensions and normalize relations with Venezuela" take, this is a "Save us Xi, kill the hoglets" take lol

Like this isn't ambiguous.

Tensions between Venezuela and America soared following the attack, but Machado insisted to The Sunday Times that Trump was right to bomb the boat.
"I totally support his strategy," Machado said. "And I've said on behalf of the Venezuelan people that we are very grateful. I think it is the right thing to do. It's courageous. It's visionary."

DOGE was successful though just not based on their stated (lying) purpose. Which will probably be true for Weiss at CBS too.

I truly don’t understand living through the DOGE experience and being like “great model, a+, no notes”

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Just LOOK at this little bugger under a camera flash, it's stunning to me that this is food.

Although it is apparently not an ancient variety, one must appreciate the generations of Cherokee and Pawnee breeding that created its ancestors. It's just 💅

An ear of corn sits in my hand. It is very brightly colored, with kernels ranging from white to black and including yellow, orange, blue, purple, green, red, and I'm sure some others.

Trying to fight Trumpian "There is no truth" with disinformation campaigns is never going to work. Information campaigns aren't working great, but they at least work better than just conceding that there is no reality

The dumbfuck libposting shit is annoying as hell. And the number of people going "No, it's actually fine that he invented a quote to post for engagement because orange man bad!" is one of the reasons Bluesky is obnoxious.

I once watched Brad Dourif movie where he plays a priest who falls in love with a stripper while investigating her friend's murder lol

His name in the movie was "Father Tyrone"

Brad Dourif as a priest saying "Paula, strip joints are designed to degrade women"

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

@bowsnonk.bsky.social if you all want to do an episode on the worst movie ever, this is a solid contender.

grimm ☀️ @mugrimm.bsky.social · 1h

This is funny because Brad Dourif is an incredible actor, but like 90% of his catalog are b movies lol

It also features the kid from Rookie of the Year and A Kid in King Arthur's Court.

I'm so lucky to be able to wander into the greenhouse and pick 4 types of tomatoes and be eating them minutes later for lunch

(Mind you, getting there was challenging as I had to duck under ridiculous numbers of the most beautiful spiderwebs - lot of the stripey legged spiders this year!)🌱

4 varieties of tomatoes halved and in a bowl; some long finger shaped red and orange striped, tiny orange cherry, and two varieties of red cherry tomatoes

The halved tomatoes mixed with an avocado and dressing on slices of toast

That said, if you're dying to watch it because your brain is broken, I guarantee it's on a free streaming service somewhere lol

If you are thinking "This looks bad, but there's some choices being made that interest me", I promise you there's not. Do not let Brad Dourif or the Rookie of the Year kid fool you, this movies terribleness stuck with me and I watched it from red box a single time lol

It won't happen, but the funniest outcome would be Trump taking advantage of the Israeli military being basically depleted and colonizing Israel with a military invasion they at first welcomed not realizing what it was lol

It'd be a real 19th century Britain vibe lol

Do people have any idea how huge a blow it'd be to the entire org for two ice agents in a car to get arrested and processed by local pd would be lol

It's been incredibly obvious that ICE realizes they lack actual legal power to follow through once the dust settles while committing illegal acts if the issue gets forced if they get arrested by police and people keep pretending there's not tons of examples showing they realize this lol
