partial_accumen , to news in George Santos: Expelled congressman is now selling $200 videos on Cameo

" Dear George, I’d like a birthday greeting for my friend. Please wish my friend a happy birthday by name in your message to him. His name is ‘I am guilty of all charges against me’. I know my friend ‘I am guilty of all charges against me’ will be delighted with this birthday gift! Please say it straight to the camera so he knows you’re speaking to him."

Didnt he already do a wacky sketch where he basically did just that?

Thanks. :)

I couldn’t get a link to work for some reason.

Zipitydew ,

I’m impressed. Was expecting it to be sensationalized title.

That whole house is ready to be scooped into a dumpster.

someguy3 ,

From the headline I expected the guy had it rigged, this certainly confirms it. I expected more out than up though it’s hard to see.

@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

From what he posted on LinkedIn I doubt he’d have the expertise to rig anything.

More likely he punctured his gas main.

Confused_Emus ,

A news clip I saw said the dumb ass was firing off a flare gun inside the house. I’m definitely with you in thinking he didn’t intend for that to happen.

someguy3 , (edited )

You’d have build up gas for an entire day to get an explosion like that. It’s either rigged or he had a crazy amount of explosives that he accidentally set off.

Ilovethebomb ,

If anything, that’s a serious understatement.

Treczoks ,

It may be scooped into a dumpster after forensics have turned over each and every piece several times.

You always hate to see that kind of behavior ina stable mortgage.

No.

Sure.

In the same way it’s possible for people to not breathe. Eventually they just have to gasp for air,

This might be the most legitimate work Santos has done in his life!

He’s not even claiming to be a former president (yet)!

This is a real political outsider, not the like the others 😉

I guess we now know why he frequented OF … he was just getting tips on posting.

Please skip the announcement when he joins onlyfans. Thanks, appreciate it.

deegeese , to aboringdystopia in Renting: Can bidding wars be stopped?

If they ban bidding wars, landlords will raise the listing prices above what they think it’s worth.

Then next year we’ll be hearing about empty apartments with crazy asking prices.

stolid_agnostic ,

Some people would rather earn no money than some money. It’s weird and what happens commonly in Buenos Aires. I think it might be the sunk cost fallacy.

deegeese ,

For investment property, the rent determines how much you can borrow against the property.

Long term it’s sometimes better to leave empty for a while than take the valuation hit.

stolid_agnostic ,

Is “a while” 5 - 10 years? We’re not talking about leaving it open for a season, but rather for years and years on end.

Ilovethebomb ,

You’ll more likely end up with a Dutch auction situation, where they start high and slowly drop the price until someone takes it.

Lucidlethargy ,

Eh, I doubt it. Let them try.

autotldr Bot , to worldnews in Royal Navy sends second warship to Gulf - BBC News

This is the best summary I could come up with:


In addition, a UK-led task force is to soon begin patrols from the English Channel to the Baltic Sea, to protect Europe’s critical undersea cables.

The Ministry of Defence says the addition of HMS Diamond will ensure the freedom of navigation, reassure merchant vessels and allow the safe flow of trade.

The defence secretary also announced a second major naval deployment, closer to home, to protect undersea cables and critical national infrastructure.

The task force of seven ships will set sail early next month, alongside allies, and will mount patrols from the English Channel all the way to the Baltic Sea.

Royal Navy vessels will work alongside members of the UK-led Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF), which includes Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.

Mr Shapps described the deployment as historic - with allies from across northern Europe working together “to defend our shared critical infrastructure against potential threats”.

Boddhisatva , to news in Rugby concussion: Wales' Henson and Charvis named in lawsuit

People used to say that rugby players didn’t need to worry about potential brain injuries like American football players do. The theory was that American foot ball players slam into each other far harder than rugby players do because the Americans feel safer wrapped up in all the padding. I guess that theory doesn’t hold up after all.

dumdum666 , to world in Released Palestinians allege abuse in Israeli jails - BBC News

To cite Queermunist: where is the proof?

febra ,

What’s your problem with queer people

dumdum666 , (edited )

Nice strawman you have there…

Why should I have a problem with queer people?

I am just citing Queermunist who asked for additional proof when there were reports that a hostage self reported (!) that he/she was being held by a UNRWA teacher in Gaza.

The comment had quite a lot of upvotes by Lemmy users and I am just wondering where these hypocrites are now.

febra ,

Oh. I didn’t know Queermunist is a person. My bad then. Mind dropping me a link to their socials? I can’t find anything on Google regarding them

    autotldr Bot , to world in Released Palestinians allege abuse in Israeli jails - BBC News

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Palestinian prisoners released from Israeli jails say that guards carried out abuse and collective punishment in the weeks after the Hamas attacks on Israel on 7 October.

    Eighteen-year-old Mohammed Nazzal was one of those released by Israel this week, in exchange for Israeli women and children held hostage by Hamas in Gaza.

    The family reception room at the top of the old house was fogged by the smoke of a dozen cigarettes - a cousin circled the visitors with a flask of coffee and a tall tower of tiny paper cups.

    Mohammed sat flanked by rows of male relatives, both his hands heavily bandaged, held up in front of him stiffly like a boxer, the tip of his thumbs peeking out.

    A medical report from a hospital in Ramallah the day he arrived back home advised that a plate might have to be fitted, if his fractures did not heal by themselves.

    Lama Khater, released from prison earlier this week, published a video on social media alleging that an intelligence officer had “explicitly threatened her with rape” immediately after her arrest in late October.

    Lifecoach5000 , to news in Spotify Wrapped 2023: 'Music genres are now irrelevant to fans'

    Maybe this is a modern thing with streaming that holds some weight - I wouldn’t really know as I don’t use the streaming services too much. I can say that as an old electronic music fan/DJ, genre and sub-genre won’t be leaving that scene anytime soon. Probably a different, unrelated conversation altogether.

    @SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    I, for one, am glad for this.

    I am an older millennial who grew up around Gen X kids older than me.

    All those Gen X kids were so fucking stuck up about music and would be so fucking rude and mean if you listened to the “wrong” music.

    Guess what you Gen X chucklefucks, your music didn’t change the world and more than half of you grew up to be conservatives. Why the living fuck would I give a shit about your worthless fucking opinions on music?

    It took me years of growing out of the brow beating about music to understand I truly do love all kinds of music and to not limit myself by genre.

    Hot takes: Nirvana is overrated, nobody even remembers Stone Temple Pilots or Janes Addiction because they were fucking forgettable mid-tier trash. People whose tastes in music never grew and still only listen to what they listened to in high school probably never grew in a lot of other ways, too.

    Lifecoach5000 ,

    Oh hush you little baby punk. You probably liked Green Day 😝
