This 22 year old student stumbles into her dorm at 3am drunk as f*ck.

She then starts to tussle with the student on duty, eventually calling her the N word over 200 times, among other things.

Plod gets called, she refuses to identify herself, bites and kicks them and gets arrested.

Someone posts the video.

So now she's lost her job as an Instagram influencer for a department store and has withdrawn from college.

On her Instagram account she wrote...

IF YOU GUYS KNEW I WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE WHY RECORD ME. THIS WAS LITERALLY MY SENIOR YEAR.

Good to see the Taliban continue to fulfill their vows that they wouldn't go back to their old ways.

Sexist Neanderthals.

Hurricane Nicole smashed into Florida just above West Palm Beach. I think this is the first November hurricane to make landfall in the USA. They're normally August or September, sometimes October.

I just watched an interview with a Floridan who was saying "They're saying climate change but hurricanes are a natural part of nature" to which the reporter asked "Do you know of any November hurricanes before?". The answer was a short No.

Funnily enough Florida is in a housing boom at the moment with a lot of fans of Desantis moving there, despite not being able to get house insurance.

Landfall was centered at Vero, where my Dad lives. He said it wasn't too bad. There was some flooding, but not as bad as predicted. The beaches have been washed away though. His main concern was flooding of the back nine. Pleased to report that the end of season member guest tournament will proceed as planned over the weekend.

Speculating on how this could have happened. Maybe the term "Krystallnacht' just sounded nice (ironically, it does, like 'Chlamydia'), but to whom? Maybe a very young German marketing exec (unlikely imo) or a similar exec from a non-European background, which I reckon is more likely. Maybe there are companies where there are people who can just take the initiative without it being checked. Surely it went through several hands though (why chicken'n'cheese?).

As said, someone's been carpeted by now. Or maybe not :shocker:

Opposite my work is one of those megachurches. They have their own school there & rock concerts & all that other stuff so they can brainwash their followers. They have about 4 churches around town now with 2,000 people attending each sermon. They are proper mental. They even have their volunteers pretend to be cops & directing traffic. They wear hi-viz jackets with POLICE printed on them.

One of their elders has just been arrested for torturing her adopted 11 year old daughter to death. She gave a class at the church teaching followers how to "live like Jesus".

No one at my work is surprised.

Chlamydia sounds like the name of a flower, which in turn means it'd be a lovely name for a little girl........

Chlamydia always reminds me of Cheloniidae which is a posh name for a sea turtle.
