I simply cannot get enough of this story (“ #JDVance buys donuts in Holt’s Sweet Shop in Valdosta #Georgia”) #Weird

Via Conor Rogers:

This is possibly the worst advance work I’ve ever seen

- staff wasn’t briefed and doesn’t know who he is
- staff declines to be seen on camera
- principal (JD) doesn’t know how or what to order
- dead silence between stilted questions
- no supporters included for filler

…the douchey blame game [couldn’t possibly be the *dominant* — weak/insecure/uber-sensitive-jackasses — white cis hetero male billionaire’s fault] begins:

#ElonMusk opens the interview by blaming the delay on “a massive distributed denial of service attack” on #X servers. He suggests that the alleged *cyberattack* [inept failure] “illustrates there’s a lot of opposition to people just hearing what *President* #Trump has to say.” 🙄

And it keeps getting better …

The musak that played for about half an hour on the X Space hosting Elon Musk’s interview with Donald Trump has stopped, and now we are hearing silence.

Refuting the BS “we broke the internet” #Ttumpaganda:

The site #DownDetector, which tracks #WebOutages, said #X outages had surged & “User reports indicate problems at X.”

Meanwhile, the number of users on the “#Spaces” appeared to plateau at a measly around 120k.

I'm all for the all-Americans creed.

However, as a woman trapped in the state of #Texas against my will I, for one, want a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT that guarantees equal protection under the law for all WOMEN.

I want a FEDERAL law protecting WOMEN's access to healthcare. And I'm NOT AFRAID to call it what it is: ABORTION.

My purpose in life is NOT that of an incubator for posterity!

While #TimWalz might not be a household name, his political star has been on the rise….

#Walz was also credited w/helping launch the " #weird" movement….

He has also been applauded & condemned for several #progressive laws passed while in #Minnesota's highest office, especially in his 2nd term when the #DFL Party took total control of state govt following the 2022 elections.…

“So I pulled over & I picked up the bear & put him in the back of my van, because I was gonna skin the bear,” #RFKJr explains matter-of-factly. “It was in very good condition & I was gonna put the meat in my refrigerator.”

…The bear never made it back to his Westchester home, however.

Kennedy says he got waylaid by a busy day of falconry, & then had to rush back to NYC for a dinner… which ran late.

“I had to go to the airport, & the bear was in my car, & I didn’t want to leave the bear in the car because that would have been bad,” #RFKJr continues.

Then, as he put it, “the little bit of the redneck in me” had an idea.

RFKJr just happened to have an old bike in his car, … & decided to stage the #BearCub in #CentralPark as if it had been hit by a bike.

“I wasn’t drinking, of course, but people were drinking w/me who thought this was a good idea,” #RFKJr said. “So we went & did that & we thought it would be amusing for whoever found it, or something.” [the man is completely #insane]

The 6-month-old, 44-pound #BearCub made national news after a dog walker stumbled upon it …in a wide-open part of the park right near the path where thousands of people run & bike each day.

#Law enforcement took the #BearCub to Albany for analysis & determined that it had been hit by a car, likely outside the park. They also confiscated the bicycle to test for fingerprints.

“I was worried because my prints were all over that bike,” #RFKJr says in the video….

But the mystery remained unsolved, & the story eventually faded away. Now, almost 10 yrs later, Kennedy said he was prompted to come clean ahead of an anticipated New Yorker exposé.

#RFKJr confesses he left a dead bear cub in #CentralPark 10 yrs ago

A decade after the shocking discovery of a #BearCub carcass in Manhattan’s Central Park, the mystery of who dumped it there has finally been solved.

And the man taking responsibility is none other than presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The #ConspiracyTheorist-turned-third-party candidate’s campaign has weathered a series of increasingly improbable-sounding scandals in recent months, from Kennedy’s admission that a #worm ate part of his #brain to his denial of reports that he once ate barbecued dog (he said it was a goat).

#RFKJr unleashed this latest one himself, in a 3-min video posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.

It shows him sitting at a kitchen table, telling an incredulous-looking Roseanne Barr (yes, the canceled comedian) about how the dead #BearCub ended up in his van upstate &, ultimately, on top of a bicycle beneath a bush in #NYC’s largest urban park.

#RFKJr… says he was driving upstate early one morning to take a group of people falconing… when a driver in front of him fatally hit a bear cub.
