Civil protection officials said they believe the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout, and sank quickly.

Big ups to my homie, God, for specifically targeting this guy.

Gone Home, Cassette Beasts, Breath of the Wild, and Red Dead Redemption are my favorites.

The Pinocchios line comes from a WaPo writer who would rate how misleading a statement was by rewarding it 1-4 Pinocchios lol. The less factual a statement was, the more Pinocchios it would receive. I think the guys on Chapo parody that sometimes.

(Okay, so it’s based on a story that was serialized in 1909, so…it’s kind of old?)

Was it seriously? I thought it was like, from the 1700s (I know next to nothing about Phantom of the Opera).

While the drivers were inside the rally, tow trucks showed up and began hooking up vehicles.

“The managers inside promised that they could park here,” Zander DeSoto said. “Some of the people here even gave money to the people inside.”

This is so fucking funny hahaha

“The Democrats” to me implies all, but I can see how this would have been a misunderstanding.

This kind of reminds me of when someone says, “not all men” in response to criticism of “men” as a whole in feminist or women-centered spaces. (For example: “Not all men are paid more than women.” Like, no, not every literal man receives higher pay than women, but it’s common enough that it’s a systemic issue).

Let me disclaim that I’m not saying that you would have that same kind of reaction to that statement, just that it’s unnecessarily splitting hairs and kind of missing the point of the original argument. The statement that “The Dems” gave Bibi a standing ovation is factually true, and is indicative of the general opinion and behavior of the Democratic party as supporters and enablers of Israel’s atrocities.

I’m autistic too, and it sucks that we tend to interpret things literally and can sometimes miss the intended subtext when someone makes a statement. Hope what I’m saying makes sense and doesn’t come across as criticism!
