Can't make this (stuff) up

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Michigan superintendent denies rumor that litter boxes were put in bathroom for students who identified as furries

... "It is unconscionable that this afternoon I am sending this communication," Midland Public Schools Superintendent Michael E. Sharrow wrote in a post to Facebook. "However, our Midland PS stakeholders may be confused about a false message/accusation that has resurfaced this week and is gaining traction in the social media realm."

Furries are individuals who take a particular interest in anthropomorphized animals. Some who identify as furries wear animal costumes or tails.

Sharrow said the rumor was brought up by a parent during a school board meeting in December last year.

As The Morning Sun reported, at a December 20 meeting of the Midland Public Schools board, a parent said she was "disturbed" after she heard a litter box had been added for use in at least one all-gender restroom in one of the district's schools for students who "identified as cats."

"Yesterday I heard something, and I was stunned. And today, I am equally stunned," she said, according to a video of the meeting posted to YouTube....

"Our community needs to understand that the agenda that is being pushed through our schools... is somewhat nefarious when it comes to some of the activities. So let's talk about furries," the woman said, adding she planned to do more "investigation."

... The rumor was also spread on Facebook by Meshawn Maddock, the co-chair of the Michigan GOP.

"Kids who identify as 'furries' get a litter box in the school bathroom. Parent heroes will TAKE BACK our schools," Maddock wrote....

Guy made TikTok showing Switzerland, labeled it ‘Gastonia, NC.’ Florida woman drove there
What Garcia did not know is that the TikTok was actually a video of Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, not Gastonia, west of Charlotte. “I realized when we were like 20 minutes out that something wasn’t right,” she said.

There were no mountains in sight, only “run-down gas stations” and no working bathrooms, Garcia said. The only nearby mountains was a hiking park, she said. “I’m sure there’s a nicer part of town, but we didn’t stick around long enough to find out,” Garcia said.

Local news just had a segment on this 29-year old guy who required a heart transplant because of having had covid(in 2020, before vaccines). Transplant was so far successful, but what you "can't make up" is the picture of him standing there holding his old heart in his hand.

Is this the guy?

Alpine man says he needed heart transplant after getting COVID-19
Because he was only 28 at the time, 6’2" and B-negative blood type, finding a match wasn't easy.


Holding heart at 1:25. Cool. Apparently, it's a thing:

Stumbled on this:

Patient removed from heart transplant list for refusing Covid-19 vaccine
DJ Ferguson, 31, had previously been prioritized for a transplant by Brigham and Women’s hospital in Boston


Many such links, fuckin' COVIDiots!

A Search Begins for the Wreck Behind an Epic Tale of Survival

A century after Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance sank in the waters of Antarctica, resulting in one of the greatest survival stories in the history of exploration, a team of modern adventurers, technicians and scientists is setting sail to find the wreck....

Endurance is also one of the most famous shipwrecks, perhaps on par with the Titanic. It’s a relic of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration, when adventurers undertook elaborate, risky and wildly popular expeditions to the continent and the pole. Some, like Roald Amundsen, succeeded. Others, like Robert Falcon Scott, died in the process.

Shackleton failed to achieve his goal, but when he returned to Britain having saved all his crew after an epic open-boat journey across treacherous seas, he was hailed as a hero. He’s still lionized today, in books, films and even business school courses, where the expedition is considered a case study in effective leadership....
It's an incredible tale. Many books have been written about it. This one is excellent, I've heard it's the best but idk:
