News that makes you say WTF?!?!

I’m pretty sure a lot of those memberships are business related. The one time I was in Club 33 was the rehearsal dinner for my BIL. His MIL was a VP for BoA and BoA had the membership they used to reserve the place. It was kind of cool but yeah that’s a boat load of money I don’t need to be spending.

Yeah that makes sense. Similar to having season tickets or a box at a football stadium available for schmoozing clients.

Miami Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill is detained by police hours before playing Jaguars : NPR

What happened to Tyreek hours before the Dolphins game yesterday is teh WTF part. However, I do like his response during the post-game interviews:

How much different from Tyreek Hill is he thinking about? White? random black man? Karen?

i think random black man, as opposed to famous black man

Every time I accidentally click on Axios, I say wtf. They insist on presenting news in bullet points with bold subtitles.

https://www.axios.com/2024/09/10/ukraine-war-dragon-drones-thermite

State of play Each subtitle is new clickbait for people who are so ADD they can’t go one sentence without a hook.

Why it matters it is distracting as well as shallow.

Friction point I hate it.

Be smart stop clicking on axios.

This is of course by design. It’s news for people used to getting powerpoint deck presentations. Just give me what I need to know in a slide with a few bullets.

Sheesh, take your heart, you old fart.
I recall seeing it live, from New York (to wherever I was at the time), on a Saturday night.

I’m surprised this isn’t getting more press. Hundreds of people are dead due to a maniacal religious leader.
