Here is a little bit of "fun" news:

Steve Crowder lost a debate to a black man on his own live stream.   Crowder has since removed the video from his channel, and he has been trying to copyright-strike anyone who reposted the video in which he got his arse handed to him.  However, too many other people had recorded the live stream -- and they are now sharing it.

The fun part of the live stream was: when Steve Crowder lost a debate to a black man...  he immediately resorted to trying to call a cop on the black man.   🤣

So, in a sense, he cried for mommy when he got his arse handed to him. 😭🚑

What a pathetic little snowflaky (male) Karen.

 

 

In the case of Crowder or one of his right-wing snowflakes copyright-stroke  the video above, here is a duplicate:

that mighta' been embarrassing as our highlight game, only one we started, were comic terrible. doesn't show up in ordinary stat sheet when a db blows coverage and allows a score. due to injuries and sudden outbreak o' illness, we went from not even on 3-deep to starting in less than a week. we were a scout team stalwart, at best.

can't express how horrible were our signature game in college.

...

am gonna admit one o' the few recurring nightmares we suffer as we enter our dotage is related to that game played decades past. we can and do laugh 'bout the game while conscious, but am clear still carrying very old baggage as we wake up sweating when dreaming 'bout it.

HA! Good fun!

I seem to remember Kurt Russell and robin Williams doing a movie about that in the 80's. Don't remember the title

we wish it were a matter o' one mistake which resulted in a high school loss such as suffered by robin williams. perhaps we would wanna relive the game and get a chance at redemption if it were one o' those life changing moment issues. make that one missed tackle and life would change. weren't. embarrassed self on national tv and 'cause we were in game 'cause o' extreme depth chart paucity, there were nobody to go in for us and end our torment. nevertheless, am suspecting our coach were serious considering replacing us with the punter after a few drives.

luckily, football were not part o' our big plan anyways as a 5'9" db (legit height and not typical college height which adds 1-2") with good speed, terrible backpedal, stiff hips and hands so bad one coach once remarked it were amazing we were able to get through airport metal detectors with hands obvious made o' cast iron, our career football prospects were limited to coaching as 'posed to playing. we never considered football as a long term goal, but embarrassing self in front o' tens o' thousands, plus a national tv audience, were a singular experience.

HA! Good Fun!

Sailor Braves Waves to Save Crew of Burning Ship

Quote

HMS Argyll (above) was sailing towards Plymouth after nine months in the Asia-Pacific region when it picked up a mayday call. The Grande America, a 28,000-tonne merchant ship was in flames, belching toxic smoke in the Bay of Biscay, 240 kilometres off the French coast. Its crew had abandoned the ship, but their lifeboat’s engine was damaged when it hit the water.

The Argyll’s Leading Seaman David Groves, went into action, battling the “worst conditions” he had ever faced. In a night-time swell of around six metres, with wall-like waves, Groves used a small sea boat to “nudge” the lifeboat half a mile towards HMS Argyll. After four exhausting hours, he had saved all 27 crew, some of them suffering from smoke inhalation. “The whole thing went by in a matter of seconds in my head, even though it ended at four in the morning,” said Groves later. He was awarded the UK’s Queen’s Gallantry Medal for his bravery. [Source: BBC]
