News that makes you say WTF?!?!

Well sure, it’s better to allow cringe-af speech as part of having free speech than it is to have any kind of censorship regime (“fighting words” notwithstanding). But yeah, it is cringe af.

I would be PISSED :scream: I’m glad they were at least compensated

It’s legal, but probably Etsy would be in their rights to not allow the seller to list this product

Also, it’s not that funny, since it’s Garfield, and Garfield is generally not funny.

…unless it’s in the form of Garfield Minus Garfield:

It’s basically Garfield with Garfield’s image and dialogue edited out, so it just looks like Jon is having a daily mental meltdown.

Relative of person who died in a tragedy 24 years ago upset over a shirt made by an independent vendor on the internet who already stopped selling the shirt” is a very New York Post kind of article.

Especially in NYC and 9/11. So sensitive and so eye-catching.

At least when you see someone wearing a shirt like that it clearly identifies them as an a-hole you shouldn’t waste your time interacting with.

Was the man alive or dead?

He apparently used to live there, and he fled when they discovered him. Kid and babysitter must be traumatized. Guy is in custody.

Was the kid a girl and the man’s name Matt Gaetz?

That’s at least 50% true.

Obviously Trump was confused and thought he was pardoning Elon Musk.

Utah votes for tooth decay.

Fluoride in the water systems in Utah is hit or miss. My county does not have it while the county just south does. And we both get much of our water from the same water company. The governor was quoted in the article as thus: “You would think you would see drastically different outcomes with half the state not getting it and half the state getting it. I’ve talked to a lot of dentists. We haven’t seen that,” Cox told ABC4. “So it’s got to be a really high bar for me if we’re going to require people to be medicated by their government.”

While I kinda wish they had commissioned a study before banning it, I don’t know that banning it is going to make as much difference as some may think.
