WTF Sh*t's F*cked Up and Bullsh*t - a "Who Cares" thread for news

They've got videos at the bottom, as far as I can tell the site is registered via and hosted on squarespace.

They have, but all of them appear to be hosted at squarespace. There's no link to a TikTok, YouTube or any other social media site hosting them, and I'd expect of a real furn-raising campaign to be encouraging people to follow it on as many channels as possible.

I think someone's been playing with an AI speech and video generator.

Plus, as I said, they say they're trying to raise funds to buy and burn something that's not actually for sale.

Meanwhile, if anyone would like to contribute to my campaign to buy and demolish the Brooklyn Bridge, which I am reliably informed is actually a symbol of Thokulath, the ancient Mesopotamian demon of flatulence ...

What, no one has a problem with Cabbage Patch Kids anymore?

Can’t afford to offer your child a plushy from the latest overpriced toy craze? Just create a rumour that you’ll go to hell if you get your hands on it.

Parents, it’s ok to tell your child it’s too expensive, and that you don’t always get what you want. They’ll still blame you for a lot of their griefs whatever you do.

Whoa, it's been a while since we had a good cursed/Satan-possessed toy craze!

Pazuzu!



BTW. I love how the poster makes him look like a friendly fellow who is just happy to see you.

Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year, municipal officials revealed this week.
Although road deaths are on the decline across the EU, with a 3 percent decrease in 2024, accidents with tragic outcomes are still commonplace in metropolitan areas. To go a full year without one is a remarkable feat for most cities — let alone a European capital.
In 2023, 7,807 Europeans lost their lives in traffic accidents in EU cities. Fifty-five people died in traffic accidents in Berlin last year, and nine individuals lost their lives in collisions in the Brussels region over the past 12 months.
While Helsinki is among the smallest EU capitals, with a little under 690,000 residents, some 1.5 million people live in and commute throughout the metropolitan area.[...]

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death

The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

IMO, cab view videos like this one are a good way to have a look at places like that.

Oh yeah, it's a scam for sure. These guys didn't invent the whole "Labubu is Pazuzu" thing, loopy evangelist Tiktokers have been beating that drum for a little while now, whoever's doing this is just hoping to tap a pool of notoriously easy marks.

Love it!

One of my favorite ambience channels is this one, which is always streaming cab views of Norwegian trains, mostly passenger trains.

GOP Lawmaker Changes Law to Help Relative Facing Child Rape Charges

State Senator J. Stuart Adams had a relative charged with raping a 13-year-old—so he rewrote the state law.

newrepublic.com

Republican Utah state Senate President J. Stuart Adams used his power to change local consent law to help a family member facing charges of allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl.

Adams’s family member, an 18-year-old high school student, was arrested and looking at four first-degree felonies. Then Adams stepped in.

Did a Maga lout try to kill me because he thought my car was too woke for Idaho?

When Jonathan Margolis drove into Idaho in a sports car with a Canadian number plate, he didn’t think it would make him a target for aggressive pickup trucks. Unfortunately, he may have been wrong…

No thanks, says B.C. MLA after receiving U.S. senator’s ‘nonsense’ pitch

My god, they won’t give up with their deranged fantasy.
This time from a Maine senator offering to ”adopt” four western provinces.

“This would not be annexation. It would be adoption — welcoming home kindred spirits, who were born under a different flag but who desire to live under our Constitution and accept our responsibilities, customs, and traditions,” he wrote in the letter shared by Day.

Martin said “millions of people currently frustrated by central authority, moral decay, and bureaucratic suffocation” would be rewarded by “liberty” if the four provinces were to join the United States. “The welcome mat is out,” he concluded.

Day said the most shocking part of the letter was its attack on Canadian institutions, like the Charter of Rights, parliamentary government, monarchism, bilingualism, multiculturalism, and the dismissal of those cornerstones as “political baggage.”

Brennon Day (a BC opposition Conservative legislator) responded

Day said in an interview that Martin needed to look at “how heavy his luggage” is. He said Martin’s party was “hauling around wheeled trunks” of baggage in the United States where the Constitution was “being torn up by Republicans.”

Oh look, Maine seems to be having a wee bit of problems of their own.
To any shit-stain Mainers who voted for him, I’m crying bilingual crocodile tears over your troubles.

They hate immigrants, but want to "adopt" an entire country.

Oh wait, fuck me, I made the mistake of trying to apply some logic to these assholes.

PS, don't forget that Trump is a pedo.
