1 person sent to hospital after drinking internet personality's bath water.
No really... there's at least one young female making a bundle selling her (used) bath water. Is this one of those apocalypse horsies I always hear about?
Speaking of selling your bath water, the latest trend is going to a store and licking something from a package, like ice cream, then putting it back. Of course you video yourself and post it on the net.
Remember Ariana Grande? She went into a donut shop, picked up a donut and licked it, then put it back, stating that she hated white people. For once, she was ahead of the curve.
One person caught doing this faces up to 20 years in prison. I wonder if the trial will be livestreamed on Faceyspaces and become a trend....
The police apprehended one of these people and arrested him for tampering. The fellow showed them store video of him purchasing the item after the stunt, but he got arrested anyway.
UPDATE: The girl selling bathwater (or one of her friends) is also selling urine, as Gamer Girl Pee.
I don't do sociology, but I want to know that sociologists are saying about this.
Dear lefty:
- Why is my display so dirty?
- Too much one-handed typing.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory was hacked for nearly a year without being detected. It was discovered in April 2018 and NASA temporarily disconnected several space flight related systems from the JPL network.
In other news, the Mars Rover, NASA's coffee machines, and several lunar simulators belonging to JPL have all stopped working....
Do you have a MAC and use the videoconferencing service ZOOM?
Don't.
A security researcher discovered a flaw that allows to turn on your webcam without your knowledge or consent. The second flaw is that it installs a web server on your computer which stays there, even if you delete the software. This means things can be downloaded to your computer without your knowledge or permission. The company patched the first item but chose to leave the server, for 'user experience'.
Don't use Zoom
Researchers discovered over 1,300 android apps collected data when you denied permission.
The US Coast Guard issued a safety alert following a cyber attack:
- Do not use your computers under water
- Use protection, personally and on your computer (they didn't).
- There is a 90% probability your bunkmate does not want to play Hide the Salami.
- Microsoft partners told they're no longer getting free software to run their businesses.
- Partners should look into a free OS that is free of licensing and free of MS. We might know of one.....

UK News
In an interview, Boris Johnson said he couldn't wait to get his message out. The interviewer suggested perhaps showing up at debates might help. Boris terminated the interview, but allowed that he might send his lawnmower to the debates next time.
The British Labour Party continues to deal with antisemitism allegations. A party member resigned because he couldn't deal with the level of antisemitism. Labour said they regret his resignation and wish the goddamn Christ-Killing Jew the best.
In yet another move for world diplomacy, President Trump referred to the UK ambassador as 'wacky,' and a 'very stupid guy', after the ambassador referred to him as 'the kind of person who is tall and has good teeth', in a leaked paper.
Not satisfied, Trump then scolded Teresa May for not taking his advice on Brexit, then failing totally. Comments were immediate, saying that Brexit was none of Trump's business. The comments came during the protest against Trump's border policies.
UPDATE: the British Ambassador resigned.
Although my diplomacy skills are rough (largely nonexistent), I'm wondering about this affair. The way I see it, if the Prime Minister asked for a report, advice, or observation, the fellow was in the right in giving it. The leaker was a cheeky little bugger who needs a lesson. Was the ambassador correct in making the assessment? If so, leave him alone. If he was wrong, he should resign. So far, this is only a show (politics as usual). The issue here seems to be that he got caught. Will the ability to avoid this be the single criterion for his replacement?
Would the US do the same thing?
Please correct me if I'm off here or this is not how diplomacy works.
Note: I'm just asking about the process. I am not commenting on the note, the accuracy of the note, or Trump.
- RIP Rip: Elmore Raul Torn, Jr, aka Rip Torn (88).
- Charles Elmer Taylor, aka Rip Taylor, is still throwing confetti.
Mrs lefty came home from shopping (never a good omen) and showed me her bounty. She tells me she saved me $100 on these shoes. Suspending disbelief, I asked her how. Well, these shoes were on sale, as were these... $100 off the bill!
That's nice, Dear. By the way, I just saved you $1,000.
HUH?
Well the left handed guitar shop has a Custom Shop 1958 Strat. If I ordered it new, it would be $4,000. Since it's used, it's only $3,000. I saved you $1,000!
Turns out savings doesn't work both ways.
- I love recruiters. Just received info on a job 5 hours away. I politely declined, stating the 10 hour commute would be too much.
- What is wrong with these people?
SJW Stuff
Salon magazine: exposed: The Declaration of Independence is sexist, racist, and prejudiced.
Bette Midler tweeted that it's 115 degrees in France and Trump is only interested in putting tanks on the mall for a salute to himself. 36k likes. I'm a fan of hers.
Twitter: where you find your favorite stars' personal opinions lack any sort of discernible logic.
Perhaps she wants the president to load up an aircraft carrier with window air conditioners for the people of France. Or send emergency ice. Will she carry air conditioners and do a USO show for the troops? She can sing her hit, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy Who Voted for Hillary."
Remember Antifa - the anti fascists?
Remember they committed acts of violence against people who didn't agree with them in Portland? With masks on?
Remember how they and their friends honestly believe they can assault people because they deserve it (for showing up and disagreeing nonviolently)?
Remember how the police did nothing, under orders of the mayor?
One day, Antifa is going to protest in the wrong neighborhood, say somewhere in Texas. There will be some dirty diapers that day. Open carry is a religion in Texas.
I really don't want to see this. No one should get assaulted, milkshaked, or shot at a public protest. No matter how much you want to see someone get some instant karma. As they say online, Shit's Getting Real.
How do you convince a misguided group of people that it is not a human right to hit people with crowbars if you think they're Nazis? They're going to get way more than they anticipate.
It's almost like Divide and Conquer.
Oh.
