If you're going to kill yourself, make sure you do it in a storage facility.

It could only have been better if the storage facility was in Florida.

Even without being federally wanted, if some asshole killed himself in one of my unit it would make my day so annoying that I'm pretty sure I'd wind up doing the same by the end of my shift.

"HOA." I bet I know what the "A" stands for.

First off, it was ridiculous that the HOA would do that. Then again, the HOA seems to fine for just about anything. After reading the article, I found out it happened in Surprise, AZ. I looked up a satellite photo and I'm somewhat familiar with the area it's a gated townhome subdivision. Personally, I would fight that fine and make sure my name isn’t attached to anything that gets thrown away. I also have a home shredder, just to be extra careful.

In July 2024, Mattel introduced a blind Barbie and a Black Barbie with Down syndrome. Now this. I wonder when we can expect to see a paraplegic Barbie, a quadriplegic Barbie and a Barbie with COVID.

They made Barbie dolls for all kinds. I did a search and the kinds that haven't been made yet or discontinued).

Mattel hasn't made Barbie dolls based on certain adult themes (like Playboy Bunnies, Victoria's Secret Angels)

Discontinued lines (like Pregnant Midge or Sugar Daddy Ken)

Wonder if they ever made a Jason Voorhees or a Xenomorph barbie doll

These all seem fine; kids appreciate dolls that look like them. But I've never seen a JAP (Jewish American Princess) Barbie. Once again, we get left behind.

The Playboy Bunny Barbie wouldn't be any good unless it was anatomically correct.

They might sell more if it was also life sized and soft.

JAP (Jewish American Princess) Barbie. Once again, we get left behind.

In this case you should be thankful.

Barbie is supposed to be fun to play with. The demo for JAP Barbie already hears their mom telling their dad about all the stuff he did wrong and how she needs a nicer car everyday. The playtime JAP Barbie would require a pull sting with phrases like: "Neiman Marcus was so crowded today" and "Shelly next door completely messed up her hair at the salon".

100 skulls and mummified body parts found in a Pennsylvania grave robbery case, police say

Bones and skulls visible in the back seat of a car near an abandoned cemetery on Philadelphia’s outskirts led police to a basement filled with body parts, which authorities say were hoarded by a man now accused of stealing about 100 sets of human remains.

Officers say a Tuesday night arrest culminated a monthslong investigation into break-ins at Mount Moriah Cemetery, where at least 26 mausoleums and vaults had been forced open since early November.

Investigators later searched the Ephrata home and storage unit of Jonathan Christ Gerlach, 34, and reported finding more than 100 human skulls, long bones, mummified hands and feet, two decomposing torsos and other skeletal items.

In 1916, Polish immigrants (and husband and wife) Nathan and Ida Handwerker opened a hot dog stand in Coney Island, a neighborhood of Brooklyn. A hot dog cost five cents. In 1959, a second Nathan's restaurant opened in Oceanside, New York. There are now 230 Nathan's Famous restaurants worldwide – and a hot dog costs around six dollars! Nathan's Famous beef franks have been sold in supermarkets since 1983. Shares of Nathan's closed today at 100.79, a gain of 8.06 (8.69%).

Prosecutors accused Gray of buying his son an AR-15-style rifle as a Christmas present and allowing him access to that weapon and ammunition despite warnings that his son was a danger to others. Colt Gray, then 14, used that rifle to carry out a mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, on September 4, 2024, killing two teachers and two students and wounding nine others.

Let's see if certain congressmen will be wearing those fucking AR15 pins again.
