Now we got another one who wants attention.

 Good Mother of God.  Maybe she should check with UPS about renting a cargo 747 or walk.

 I can’t fit in the plane aisle — it feels like discrimination

She's not curvy, she's a blob. From the video, next she'll be complaining about why they don't make swimming pools that keep all the water from flying out when she jumps in. Does she have anything to say about passenger cars?

Also, why do I have to duck my head in planes? They should just have Antonov make all passenger planes so that they can have 5' wide aisles and 8' overheads and everyone gets a lazyboy as a seat and we can all then pay $4000 to fly from LA to NYC.

From looking at the picture first they need to widen the doors!!!

“Honestly, it’s discrimination that they can’t build wider aisles in airplanes 2023,” she wrote on the clip, which has landed about 700,000 views.

Actually there is a more appropriate section for her, it is called cargo, where they put the rest of the cows for the flight home.

Adams unveils plan to tackle NYC shoplifting
https://www.fox5ny.com/news/adams-unveils-plan-to-tackle-nyc-shoplifting

Quote
The new crackdown includes giving first-time offenders intervention programs instead of prosecution, de-escalation training for retail employees, establishing neighborhood retail watch groups to share information about a theft in real-time with one another and the police, and installing kiosks in stores to connect would-be thieves with social service programs.

Gee, instead of shoplifting I think I'll go to that kiosk over there right after I deescalate this by punching that annoying employee out   :facepalm:

My anti-shoplifting program would be immediate, vigorous caning on the buttocks delivered on the sidewalk outside the store.

I will be generous and let Mayor Adams steal my idea if he wishes.

It will be funny when shoplifters start stealing the kiosks.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I can't see that video so I can't be certain if this is the same guy.  Salty Cracker mentioned the tik tok pranker who walked into someone's home was arrested.  I can't see that video at work either.

In more than a few jurisdictions the probability of that idiot getting to play the assume room temperature prank would be pretty high.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

British cops vs kraut cops dealing with climate protestors that block roadways:

https://twitchy.com/aaronw-313234/2023/05/23/outrageous-police-response-to-just-stop-oil-protest-in-london/

Interesting that in the brit example, even the enviros who were blocking the road seemed to side more with the guy trying to get to work than with the cops.  :rofl:

My people believe that it's never too early to call it a blitzkrieg. Better safe than sorry.  =D

A college instructor did this to some pro life students:

https://twitchy.com/sarahd-313035/2023/05/23/brave-college-prof-lets-students-for-life-know-exactly-how-she-feels-about-their-fking-propaganda/

This is how the "professional staff congress" at the college responded:

Quote
Hunter College adjunct educator Shellyne Rodriguez approached the display, constructively critiqued the group members, and eventually physically took down items from the table. Her actions to shut down the tabling were fully justified, and are part of a long and celebrated CUNY legacy of confronting groups such as military recruiters who disseminate misleading information.

According to internet, CUNY is "the public university system of New York City," so it sounds like the staff are doing exactly what the tax-payers would like for them to do.

Well, here's some more stuff the taxpayers want her to do.

https://www.lifenews.com/2023/05/25/school-denies-church-a-lease-when-it-finds-out-the-church-is-pro-life/

Quote
The committee rejected Pastor Matt Gioia’s proposal to lease the high school for either six months or one year because of its religious beliefs on abortion, sexual orientation, “gender reassignment,” “conversion therapy,” and marriage, according to the lawsuit. The committee voted to allow the church to rent school facilities on a month-to-month basis after the pastor had told the committee that a month-to-month lease would not work.

Unless I'm mistaken, there is already enough case law to tell us this school will get taken to the woodshed.
