@JahBlesssaint21 If the lion ate 3x per day or even daily, as a bloated human does, they’d be DEAD.
Even in captivity - max 2 meals per week !

It's based. Real 2009 incident: Andy House (exotic car dealer in Lufkin, TX) bought a 2006 Bugatti Veyron for $1M, insured it for $2.2M, then deliberately drove it into Galveston Bay near La Marque. He left the engine running to flood it with saltwater. Claimed a "low-flying pelican" distracted him, but bystander video (no pelican, straight drive-in) exposed it. Pleaded guilty to wire fraud in 2014; sentenced to 1 year + 1 day prison in 2015 + repaid $600k to insurer. Video's still on YouTube.

This man destroyed a $1 million car on PURPOSE
Andy House bought a Bugatti Veyron for $1 million and insured it for $2.2 million
A few days later he drove it straight into the ocean near Texas
Left the engine running so saltwater would destroy every part of it
A random driver happened to be filming because he'd never seen a Bugatti in person
The video shows him driving straight into the water
No swerving, no braking, nothing
His excuse: a "low flying pelican" scared him but there wasn't a single pelican in sight
The video hit YouTube with over 5 million views
Investigators watched it and charged him with insurance fraud
He tried to turn a $1 million car into a $2.2 million check and the only reason he failed is because someone never saw a Bugatti in his life

Airbnb, this is unacceptable. @Airbnb
We stayed in a listing where loud drilling (building maintenance) made it impossible to work during the day. We raised this respectfully.
After checkout, the host started contacting us repeatedly on WhatsApp, pushing for calls and making inappropriate comments when we refused.
We left an honest, factual review.
Airbnb removed it.
If real experiences can be erased while this kind of behavior is ignored, how can anyone trust this platform?

@HermanMashaba You had a role. You failed. You gave up. Your new campaign policy is to be a crybaby about the big bad old white gogo.
What will you do to fix and manage ?
Why is there no fresh young blood interested in fixing Johannesburg ???

@grok @CyndexiaTruther Still prescient, having been scarily accurate- 11 years prior
English

No, this wasn't stated by Marco Rubio in 2011. The clip is from his September 10, 2015, Senate floor speech opposing the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal). He warned Iran would use sanctions relief to build military power, support proxies, develop missiles, and eventually pursue nukes—predictions based on the deal's terms at the time. The "2011" claim in the original post is inaccurate.

@CyndexiaTruther @grok, was this factually stated by Marco Rubio in 2011 ?

@grok @Ryandally08 Thanks @grok. How many of the 228 sitting Australian politicians listened to her and followed suit by shutting down their X accounts ?
English

@MistryA @Ryandally08 Yes, Jacqui Lambie deleted her personal X account back in April 2024, right after her rant criticizing Elon Musk and calling for all politicians to boycott the platform. Her Jacqui Lambie Network account remains, but she hasn't returned personally.

Why are old woman like this !? 🤦♂️
You visited the beach. Sipped on some cocktails and coffees. Yay.
Stop turning every one of YOUR experiences into a teachable moment. I kinda think it’s more about injecting yourself where nobody actually asked
But do you actually love Bali !? Do you ? Do you really ????
If you actually loved Bali - you add a prosthetic to the 3-legged dog and trim the cats whiskers !!!
Take your pics, bank your memories and have a nice life 👌

I am in Bali now for 2 weeks …. And I’m too old for this place.
The crowd is easy to spot.
Yoga mats. Linen bags. Tattoos.
Matcha to go.
Scooters. No helmet. No shirt.
It’s almost a UNIFORM/ BRAND of
the consciously awakened nomad, spiritually aligned,
recently escaped from the 9–5 pressure of the West.
Three months in Bali. Sometimes more.
Living well on prices they’d complain about back home.
Sitting in cafés, MacBooks open,
talking about healing, spirituality, the next cacao ceremony.
And how much they LOVE this island.
Sure you do.
You love your photos.
The aesthetic.
The affordable “healthy lifestyle”…. bowls, matcha, sunlight.
But DO YOU actually love Bali?
Because loving a place isn’t just consuming what’s beautiful.
It’s taking responsibility for what isn’t.
And the other Bali exists too….
trash in the streets,
sick street dogs, stray cats,
the parts that don’t fit your feed.
They don’t disappear just because you crop them out.
So here’s a thought:
Skip one smoothie. One.
And donate that money to the people actually doing the work here…
cleaning up what your version of Bali ignores.
Or at least BE HONEST.
You don’t love Bali.
You love the version of it that looks good on your social media feed.

An 18-year-old high school student has developed a promising new water filter that removes over 95% of microplastics from drinking water.
Mia Heller, a senior at Kettle Run High School in Virginia, became frustrated after learning that her local tap water contained microplastics and that government agencies were not taking strong action to address the issue. Tired of the expensive, high-maintenance membrane filters her family used at home, she decided to build a better solution in her garage.
After months of experimentation, Heller created a prototype filtration system that eliminates 95.52% of microplastics — a performance that rivals or exceeds many conventional technologies, but with far less waste and maintenance. The compact device is roughly the size of a standard home appliance and is designed for easy under-sink use.
At the heart of her invention is ferrofluid — a magnetic liquid (based on canola oil in her prototype) that binds to microplastic particles ranging from 1 nanometer to 5 millimeters. As contaminated water flows through the system, a magnetic field pulls the ferrofluid-bound plastics out, producing cleaner water while allowing most of the ferrofluid (about 87%) to be recovered and recycled for repeated use.
Heller was a finalist at the 2025 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, where she received a special $500 award from the Patent and Trademark Office Society for her innovative, low-cost, and sustainable approach.
She hopes her self-recycling system will eventually reach the consumer market, giving families an affordable and effective tool to reduce their exposure to microplastics, which have been linked to various health concerns.

@ME_Beaumont Cleanliness is next to Godliness. If the local inhabitants choose to live in squalor, what’s that got to do with old gogo, Zille ?
How come you choose to raise awareness with cheap politicking, now ???
Why didn’t you raise awareness before ????

The Douglasdale pothole that went viral after @HelenZille4Jozi was filmed swimming — has burst again.
This isn’t new. It’s the same pipe, the same spot, the same failure — for 3 years.
How many times must residents deal with the same collapse before it’s fixed properly?
Joburg doesn’t need temporary repairs. It needs infrastructure that actually lasts.

@Trevornoah This is painful to listen to. Babbling rants, word salads that say alot without saying anything !
Woke is dead !
Pick a lane. Do comedy and be funny.
You’ve stopped being funny.

@AsennaWealth What kind of trader gets emotional about market forces that are shaped by supply and demand ????
Stop taking your estrogen pills you whiny little bitch !
Harden up and admit you long for the place everyone wishes they were at.

Before COVID, Dubai was a tourist-friendly destination and reasonably priced. Post-COVID, tourists increased dramatically and prices sky rocketed 3-4x. Whatever you did it always felt like you were being fleeced. Now with geo-political risk, the tourists have disappeared, restaurants are struggling at 20-30% capacity, bars, clubs and cafes offering upto 50% off on some bills. Beautiful to watch karma in action and the hospitality industry has zero sympathy from me.
