A whale struck a fishing boat off the coast of Plymouth, Massachusetts, on Sunday. That woulda been my kinda luck...
A humpback whale was caught on camera breaching the water and landing on top of a boat off the coast of Plymouth, Massachusetts, on Sunday.
Plymouth Harbormaster Chad Hunter said the close encounter occurred around 10 a.m. off the coast of White Horse Beach. The 19-foot vessel sustained light damage to its bow but was shockingly still seaworthy. The boat was able to return to the boat ramp on its own power, and the boat operator fortunately reported there were no injuries.
“The boat was in the right place at the wrong time. This could have been much worse for all involved," Hunter said. "Children like to lean over the side of the boat to watch the fish so it is very lucky that nobody got hurt here. An incident like this is pretty rare but very dangerous to boaters.”

... I don't know if this whole diatribe is 100% accurate with the numbers, but the idea behind it is the same. I saw this on Fakebook:
This machine is required to move 500 tons of earth/ore which will be refined into one lithium car battery. It burns 900-1000 gallons of fuel in a 12 hour shift. Lithium is refined from ore using sulfuric acid. The proposed lithium mine at Thacker Pass is estimated to require up to 75 semi loads of sulfuric acid a day. The acid does not turn into unicorn food like AOC believes.
A battery in an electric car, lets say an average Tesla, is made of 25 pounds of lithium, 60 pounds of nickel, 44 pounds of manganese, 30 pounds of cobalt, 200 pounds of copper, and 400 pounds of aluminum, steel, and plastic, etc., averaging 750-1,000 pounds
of minerals, that had to be mined and processed into a battery that merely stores electricity.
Electricity which is generated by oil, gas, coal, or water (and a tiny fraction of wind and solar). That is the truth, about the lie, of "green" energy.
There’s nothing green about the green new deal. You people better learn how to vote or this nonsense will continue to flow down on top of you from the throne of government you put these people on."

I think we've all figured out by now that this broad is from somewhere on the other side of the third moon of Pluto, but she still manages to entertain (and scare the fuck out of) us almost every time she opens her mouth.
Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday claimed Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' law is keeping teachers of young students from the ability to 'love openly.' Harris had been asked about why young people, who have been largely disenchanted with the Biden administration, should keep turning out at the ballot box. She warned that it was a matter of the fundamental right to vote.
'We all know your right to vote and the action of voting unlocks all the other rights, including same-sex marriage,' the vice president said during an interview with journalist Brian Tyler Cohen.
Can someone please explain to me WTF she's talking about?

The huge brawl that broke out at Florida's DisneyWorld last week when a family tried to prevent a woman from joining her family in the queue led to arrests, a hospitalization and lifetime bans at the park. Further footage of the 10-person bust-up which saw punches being thrown and profanities being screamed at the children's theme park, shows how both families were queueing for Mickey's PhilharMagic.
A member of one family left to retrieve her phone from an electric scooter but when she returned to the line, another family - all in white shirts and red shorts - prevented her, pushing the young woman.
The family of the woman who returned to the queue has been banned from DisneyWorld for life, one member told the news outlet, while two members of the other family were allegedly arrested.
Several involved received cuts and bruises while one was taken to hospital in an ambulance with large lacerations on their chin. The initial footage spread like wildfire on social media last week, with Disney cast members and fellow visitors trying to step in and intervene.

This is a subway entrance at the Bockenheimer Warte U-Bahn Station in Frankfurt, Germany. A great combination of function and eye appeal. Why do we not do things like this here?

Police believe a team of burglars discreetly tracked a truck carrying $100 million worth of jewels from a gem show in northern California to a Los Angeles truck stop, before raiding the vehicle in one of the 'largest jewelry heists ever.' The thieves robbed the armored Brink's truck around 2am on July 11 at a Flying J truck stop along Interstate 5 near Grapevine - an unincorporated community in the San Joaquin Valley - in just 27 minutes. The burglars managed to bypass the truck's locking mechanism undetected and then loaded the gems into storage containers before hauling them away, law enforcement sources say. Investigators believe 'several thieves had to be involved' in the heist, which left eighteen victims suffering a loss of 'multi-millions.' The merchandise had been loaded onto the truck the night before following an exhibit hosted by the International Gem and Jewelry Show in San Mateo, south of San Francisco. It was heading to the Pasadena Convention Center. Police are still probing how the thieves got into the truck and whether or not they knew about its valuable contents ahead of the theft.
