These two shitheads got into a pissing contest and the one idiot who is in trouble for human trafficking threatens to traffic the other guy’s mom
“Are you still on drugs, Adin? (Adin Ross responds, ‘No, I’m not. How’s your case going?’) Well, you know, I am a r-pist, as you saw that on Twitter. You said I was a r-pist. You know, but I’m kind of leaning into it now. Like, I’m a human trafficker. It’s how I got so rich. ‘How did you get that Bugatti?’ I human traffic. When they come up to me with TikToks, ‘What’s your job?’ I’m like, ‘I human traffic.’ That’s what I do. So, I have no problem with you saying that. In fact, I kind of like the rumor. It’s kind of cool. Street cred.”
After Adin Ross claimed he was “joking”, Andrew Tate confronted and warned him:
"No, no, no. No joking. Don’t make me r–e your mum. Don’t make… don’t make me do it. I’ll find her a–and I’ll make it real. So, stick to your words. I will human traffic your mother, Adin! Don’t f–k with me"
To wit, on Thursday, Laura Ingraham and Jesse Watters aired a clip of Vice President Kamala Harris speaking in hurricane-ravaged Georgia the previous day. As Harris spoke on Ingraham’s show, the Fox News chyron read, “Kamala: Here’s $750 that’ll do the trick.”
“Federal relief and assistance that we have been providing has included FEMA providing $750 for folks who need immediate needs being met, such as food, baby formula, and the like, an–”
The clip Ingraham played was cut mid-sentence – not because what was next wasn’t relevant. It was. The clip was cut so Ingraham could mislead her viewers.
“Imagine losing your house, your transportation, basic necessities, and women looking for diapers,” Ingraham said. “Most stores, by the way, in the area are wiped out. And all you’re getting right now is a $750 check she referenced from the federal government? The government you have been sending taxes to for your entire life? Yeah, and where they gonna buy that baby food, Kamala?”
All we need to do is burn all our energy getting AI to solve the problem of how to stop burning so much energy, and then things will turn out great!
I swear, rich people spend so much time looking at fundamentally meaningless quantities, they have no comprehension that the universe has conservation laws. They think electricity is magic so we just need to magic it harder. Heck, Horowitz actually proposed humans should be using as much energy as a star without realizing that is too much heat for us. It really stands out what idiots capitalism puts in charge.
On one hand, Ron DeSantis is getting ahead of the tropical storm that could hit Florida as a hurricane by the middle of the week. He’s declaring a state of emergency. That’s a good thing. [Anyone on Boing Boing who lives in Florida and is in the path of Milton, hope you can stay safe!]
But what makes this story suitable for this gallery IMO is the point the memo from his directory of communications focused on first:
For your reporting purposes, please note in particular the following:
Language in the opening portion of Section 2, which prohibits the suspension of or limitation of the sale, dispensation, or transportation of firearms.
Sure, houses may be blowing away or getting flooded, but let’s focus first on what’s really important: making sure the rights of the guns not be infringed.

Israel should attack UN Peacekeepers? What a great idea, which would certainly not have any blowback. The UN doesn’t really have any teeth, what are they going to do vote to tell Israel off like they’ve done several times about the “settlers”?
And it’s not like the are any major powers that would be obliged to jump in on Ireland’s side if … what? Uh-huh, EU member state, umm-hmm, the Libson Treaty, okay. Oh, and Ireland is a NATO partner?
…
You know, I’m starting to think Mr Brodsky doesn’t know shit about foreign policy.
Yep, they’re a NATO partner, not a NATO member, so Article 5 technically wouldn’t apply - but I imagine NATO still wouldn’t be happy and probably be obliged to withdraw some support or slap some sanctions on Israel. Which would be a big problem, since I think NATO members like the US are Israel’s biggest sources of military support and aid.
Edit: And there’s an non-zero chance of a harsher response, as a “don’t fuck with NATO or our buddies” message to other world leaders like Putin.
