Stolen honor from Waffle House

Context

Waffle House Index

The metric is unofficially used by FEMA to inform disaster response.

[...]

The Waffle House Index is a metric named after the ubiquitous Southern US restaurant chain Waffle House known for its 24-hour, 365-day service. Since this restaurant always remains open, it has given rise to an informal but useful metric to determine the severity of a storm and the likely scale of assistance required for disaster recovery. It was coined by former administrator Craig Fugate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

There's something off about her body language. To see what I mean - watch some of it with the sound off. Like from 0:25 to 0:35. I can't quite explain it well. But she's like a bad actress overacting in a shitty b-movie and you wonder to yourself as you watch the scene - "This is awful. Why am I still watching this movie?"

It's just a suggestion. You could still do it.

Shudders.

You could. But I strongly suggest that you don't.

I don't know the context. Did she gently and politely hint Biden could step aside?

"Hey, guys I've been doing your bidding for decades. What will you do for me?"

They tell him they sent $10,000 to a pro-Biden PAC that they control. But did they really? No. Some execs went to Vegas instead. And he sends them a "Thank you" note.

 

I know this is c/politics. The source is kosher. It's a Bluesky post by a journalist.

UK: Man sentenced to four months in jail for carrying Master Sword replica in public - My Nintendo News

Nuneaton resident Anthony Bray, 48, was arrested by Warwickshire Police on June 8th, 2024, for possessing a “bladed article” in public that was sharp enough to be used for violence or intimidation- a point that Bray acknowledged during his confrontation with the police. He also remarked that the 6-inch replica of the “blade of evil’s bane” from The Legend of Zelda was a fidget toy, but officers explained that the properties of the toy’s blade, and more critically, his behaviour, nonetheless violated law.
