Mass casualties following a suspension bridge fully collapsing into a river in Gujarat, India.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-a ... a-63452531

Shocking, particularly as it just reopened after maintenance, which apparently was done by a watch/clock company. Reminds me of the one in Genoa. Couldn't imagine the horror of being on a bridge that starts to collapse. Hopefully the death toll won't rise much further.

There's one on my Insta, innit :grin:

I was a hit with little kids at work. I'd hear them shout "Mummy, there's a pink unicorn" while jumping up & down.

My Missus borrowed her brothers old army uniform in which he did 2 tours of Iraq or Afghanistan & camoed up her face & everyone thought she was Vietcong :lol:

Brazil have their own MAGA. It's a shame that Bolsinaro's supporters have appropriated the national side's iconic yellow shirt as their symbol. It's their red baseball cap, and the non right wingers no longer recognize the shirt.

Eventually the world will revert to little chiefdoms and city states.

Don't get that "forged elections" thing.
Never has been an issue for decades.
Are people that stupid they really do not understand elections can be lost as well ?

They know they lost, just like MAGAists know they lost. Claiming mass fraudulent activity or insisting that election was stolen is the equivalent of rage quitting a video game. They know they lost, but they're furious at losing so they don't accept.

Bounties to be removed from Celebration tubs because people don't like them.

To me, plain chocolate Bounties are manna from heaven.

It's about time Bounty was removed as it's a leftover legacy from our colonial days in the Caribbean.

At least that's what I'd get told by my liberal Californian colleagues :lol:

I detest Bounties! Abominations, each and every one. Dry and mealy, and if you eat one you wind up with shitty bits of dessicated coconut under your tongue, between your teeth and glued to the insides of your gums and back of the throat for hours, no matter how much you try to brush them out, gargle them away or yak them up.

I genuinely think they're evil. Satan's own bumplop.
