The violence between about two dozen brawlers erupted aboard the Sunshine at about 2 a.m. Monday morning - the last day of its voyage - as the ship was heading back to Miami, according to a passenger who filmed the mayhem. “Where the fuck is security?!” one bystander could be heard yelling in the footage as passengers trade blows and slam each other to the ground.
Bronx content creator Mike Terra captioned his video: “I always hear carnival is ghetto/ratchet (?). I been cruising for years but this my 1st time seeing some action on a ship I was on YNs was tripping (?).” It remains unclear what sparked the commotion, and if you know what those comments mean, well, I feel for ya.
The ship set sail from Miami last Thursday and made two stops in the Bahamas before returning to Miami on Monday. Carnival did not immediately respond to the press' request for comment.

Fewer Americans say they’re drinking alcohol these days: Only 54% report they consume alcoholic beverages, the lowest percentage in nearly 90 years of polls that track alcohol consumption across the country. That sobering statistic comes from Gallup, which has polled Americans on their drinking habits since 1939. The record low of 54% in 2025 compares with the all-time high, 71%, reported from 1976 to 1978.
Why? Gallup says the results coincide with research that shows any level of alcohol consumption can be bad for your health. Even low levels of drinking can lead to certain cancers and heart problems, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

Pornhub, the world’s largest pornography website, has removed advertisements by the infamous Russian mercenary Wagner group after attempting to recruit people to fight in Kremlin’s war against Ukraine...
The ads displayed a woman licking a lollipop calling on viewers to
join the Wagner group instead of watching pornography.

There are entirely too many 'editorial cartoonists' out there who's work eminates from hatred and bitterness. This woman is really different from the majority of her peers. Her panels are well drawn, well colored and truly insightful.
It doesn't hurt that she's mostly looking at issues from a conservative standpoint, either. I know I say that I like 'subtle' often enough, but her style of subtle really makes you think, doesn't it?

ReplyDeleteYou included based on your crap you regularly get called out on.
And yet here you are reading my blog again today so very well played my friend
DeleteJoe, I've called you out on occasion, but I really like your blog. You're right a high percentage of the time ... and I assume you're trying to get a reaction the rest of the time. Keep up the great work, and I hope you never take my criticism personally (I'm the one who pointed out the book of Ruth...). Have fun, and great response to 8:19.
DeleteWe actually enjoy taking cruises, but you couldn't pay me enough to get on a Carnival ( Ghetto At Sea ) Cruise .
ReplyDeleteCarnival melee’: Assuming it was truly over some buffet line 1st world idiocy, proves how soft and weak and entitled far too many people have gotten. Exactly why I avoid the General Public and will never go on a cruise…or a Starbucks for that matter, some nutjob goes off because their latte contains real milk instead of soy or is missing the leafy swirl on the top. Geez.
ReplyDeleteshame the boat came back
ReplyDeleteWalmart/Waffle House of the Seas....Stereotypes do NOT become what they are because of the actions of 1, 10, or even 100 folks. It takes thousands of folks repeated actions to make a stereotype what it is. But you are a racist if you bother noticing the all too common denominator.
ReplyDeleteScore 9 on the test but I live in Georgia.
ReplyDeleteIf the computer is not connected to the internet (and cannot be hacked), who cares if its running Windows XP or not? Every time Microsoft upgrades their OS, an incredible fortune is spent (wasted?) trying to make sure the existing software works as intended on the new OS. There are times where the software just worked for so many decades, that no one asked where the source code is when the last maintainer retired.
ReplyDeleteI remember being surprised during one of my first consulting gigs out of school when one of the old timers asked when we were going to freeze the operating system. He pointed out that every time we updated the installed applications or the operating system, we risked breaking that critical piece of infrastructure. At the time, I thought he was out to lunch. Eventually, I realized he was spot on.
Unfortunately, the internet has made systems vulnerable such that they need regular security updates. But having some things still run Windows XP, makes sense.
And ... based on the first set of comments, this is not a criticism of Joe.
Computing life would be so much better if they’d stoped at XP. Most of the shit they’ve added since then doesn’t add much more to the usefulness of a computer. Most additional “features “ are frou frou
DeleteCannot count the number of folks I've met over the last 10-15 years who brew their own beer, make their own wine, and/or distill their own spirits. Government greed is a powerful motivator. Just went to a Costco in the state of Washington. A run of the mill bottle of Bourbon was easily twice what it costs in other western states. Then they add a sales tax plus a horrendous sin tax. No wonder alcohol consumption appears to be lower.
