Rep. Alcee Hastings has died at 84. -- (link) - Will Hunting Apr 6, 08:04
So Nikola Motors is having a bad day -- (link) - TWuG Apr 6, 08:02 6
- "parody account" -- nm - decline Apr 6, 08:06 3
  - Damn. I only saw it as a retweet from a non-parody account. -- nm - TWuG Apr 6, 08:13
  - Though to be completely clear, this company is 100% a scam. -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 08:09
  - But they *really* mean it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:07
- 😳 -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 08:05
- *checks if this is an April Fools Day prank, sees it is not* - JaxSean Apr 6, 08:05
SITWAP active shooter down, 2 victims in Federick, MD -- (link) - SyrDragon Apr 6, 07:52 6
- “The U.S. Navy can confirm there was an active shooter incident at Fort Detrick, MD involving U.S. Navy Sailors. The shooter, a Navy Hospital Corpsman is deceased." -- nm* - decline Apr 6, 08:09 1
  - So two incidents? Detrick is 4 miles from the NikoLock place. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 08:10
- Not sure why Detrick was shut down, it’s several miles away unless they think it’s more than 1 naval guy involved. -- nm* - Will Hunting Apr 6, 08:01
- Oh, Fredneck... - Inigo Apr 6, 08:00 1
  - Heh... -- (edited) - stim-mie Apr 6, 08:04
- Oh fuck. I know that place. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 07:58
JL: More Joss being unkind toward Gal Gadot -- (link) - stim-mie Apr 6, 07:48 8
- wasn't Snyder's version the one where WW was more aggressive not Whedon's? -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 07:52
- So he wanted to ruin the only part of DC that had worked to that point? Bold move. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 07:50 6
  - I read these Hollywood insider leaks with the same I read Washington leaks. Whose agenda is being pushed here? Someone's trying to power play. -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 08:07 1
    - Someone’s taking a run at the guy who didn’t do anything about it knowing Joss is toxic for a pattern of bad behaviors. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 08:09
  - Is it possible that he's a Marvel plant embedded deep into the DC universe to destroy it from within? -- nm - Dean Winchester Apr 6, 07:50 3
    - It’s more likely that DC is just that inept. They get guys who do something well (Avengers was legit great) and think that guy is why... - Will Hunting Apr 6, 07:57
    - That's dark. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 07:51 1
      - And completely unneccesary. DC is fine doing that on their own. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 6, 07:52
deputies arrested man after they say he stole an ambulance from a Hospital (this isn't really noteworthy...except look at this guy!) -- (link) - decline Apr 6, 07:46 9
- F*cking Florida, man. *smh* -- nm - JaxSean Apr 6, 08:08
- You know how, on the news, they always interview the neighbors and they all say how they never suspected he could do something like this? - Mop Apr 6, 08:07
- He. Is. Speed. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:05
- Ciggy Stardust -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 07:50 1
  - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 07:52
- I can't believe he didn't get away with it. Both an ambulance and he himself are totally inconspicuous -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 07:49
- What is that tattoo supposed to be? A soaring bird, or a hawk profile with a badly arranged body? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 07:48 2
  - A lightning bolt? (NM) - Marlowe Apr 6, 07:49 1
    - Yep. Ziggy Stardust style -- (link) - Volnelk Apr 6, 07:51
Whoa. Tatis Jr. partially dislocated his shoulder swinging at a pitch? -- (edited) - Volnelk Apr 6, 07:41 2
- MLB The Show cover curse? -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 08:05

  - also, I rode in my other brother's new Tesla 3 this weekend, and I have to say: not a fan of trying to get into the seat. - Max Apr 6, 07:58 2
    - While I'm 100% sold on EVs as a concept and I'm glad for Tesla building the demand, I'm more and more not wanting to touch one with a 10 foot pole. -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 08:06 1
      - I'll likely not get one this round, and then by the time I'm ready to replace again I'll have little choice but select EV. - Max Apr 6, 08:11
  - For now just taking my brother's Camry as he leaves for DR, then maybe shopping later in the summer. - Max Apr 6, 07:54
- Wow, that car was almost as old as kilbo -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 07:43 1
  - harsh -- nm - oblique Apr 6, 07:49
- *pours some Castrol* -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 07:33
- It's going to a race track in the country where it can play with the other cars. -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 07:31 3
  - heh -- nm - Pippy Apr 6, 08:06
  - omg, that is brilliant -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 07:32
  - Go get'm boy. -- nm - Max Apr 6, 07:32

- AND - Carrie apparently feels good enough to head downstairs to her office and work a little today. So, everything's coming up "me" today! nm - Dean Winchester Apr 6, 07:35 3
  - nice -- nm - mud Apr 6, 07:38
  - I mean that is the plus side to the vaccinations - if you do still manage to catch a case, it's at like 5% strength. -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 07:37 1
    - oh yeah - at no point have we thought any on our positives were going to die - or even be hospitalized. That's a really good thing. - Dean Winchester Apr 6, 07:39
- Yay!!! -- nm - Pippy Apr 6, 07:33
- *hands you a freshly touched doorknob* -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 07:33

- Very nice immune systeming! -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Apr 6, 07:31
Oh, that's right. I need to go vote today. Mayoral election. If you like your candidates left and lefter, this is the election for you. -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Apr 6, 07:26

  - Nice! -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 08:06
- I'm not sure we would be at this point with the other guy -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 07:28 7
  - I’m entirely sure we wouldn’t. For starters, PA would definitely still be in Phase 1A. Oh, wait... -- nm* - znufrii Apr 6, 07:28 6
    - I honestly don't understand what is going on there. If ID can hit everybody 16 and above, surely every state can -- nm* - crash davis Apr 6, 07:31 5
      - I mean, it can’t be that hard. Matt Gaetz has been 16+ for years. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 07:52 1
        
        I have to go to work but before I go, please take a ton of points. -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 07:53
      - NY 16+ starting today too - SyrDragon Apr 6, 07:50 1
        
        all right Dragon Jr! 😺🍩 -- nm - crash davis Apr 6, 07:51
      - From what I can gather the state effed up the initial allocations to the counties, and then expanded 1A eligibility criteria, so our county got slammed -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 6, 07:40
- Eff you and your jealously-inducing efficienty, Biden! (NM) - Marlowe Apr 6, 07:25
- Excellent. - Dark Callisto Apr 6, 07:15

- Nice! -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 07:11
- wow -- nm - prayformojo Apr 6, 07:05

  - I dunno, I got 3rd and haven’t seen a game in 2 years. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 04:06 3
