There are many dangerous professions in the world, yet few can compare to heckling Alec Baldwin. Even fewer could do it and somehow make Alec Baldwin look downright reasonable. Social media ‘ambush interviewer’ ‘Crackhead Barney & Friends’ spied a wild ‘white devil’ Alec Baldwin attempting to purchase a coffee and decided to go in for one of her trademark ‘interviews’ (which, for the uninitiated, often resemble undifferentiated screeching). Her first line of incisive questioning, if it can be called that, saw Ms. C. Barney ask Baldwin to say ‘Free Palestine.’ This line proved to be a dead end via his powers of ignoring her. Her second revolved around Baldwin’s fatal shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, which saw him slapped with off-again on-again involuntary manslaughter charges. Or, as she eloquently put it, ‘why you kill that lady?’ Once again, Baldwin’s powers of ignorance knew no bounds. She returned to her first commandment, a commitment to Free Palestine, which took the form of yelling it straight for about 45 seconds, while the staff of the coffee shop attempted to have her removed from the area over safety concerns and her incredibly shrill, annoying voice. It was only at this point that Alec Baldwin succumbed to his natural instinct: rage. Lacking either patience or the coffee he was trying to buy, Baldwin resorted to his fists as God intended. The video of the confrontation later went viral on the internet for one reason and one reason only: it made everyone, against all odds, sympathetic to Alec Baldwin. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

A Boeing 737 headed for Cape Town was forced to make an emergency landing after one of its wheels fell off during takeoff. Video footage shows smoke billowing from the now-uncovered rear wheel hub as the FlySafair plane touches down on its return to Johannesburg. In another video, a loud bang can be heard seconds after the plane touches down. The undercarriage and right wing had partially collapsed as a result, images from the scene show. Thankfully no one was injured in the incident, which is the latest in a long line of Boeing manufacturing failures. The ground crew spotted the missing wheel immediately after takeoff, and alerted the pilot who made the decision to turn around. Boeing, who are currently facing a series of Senate hearings over their safety and manufacturing quality, declined to comment on the incident. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

This might be known as ‘a typical Monday morning’ in Florida, but to the rest of the world it looks like fighting a rather large alligator. Staff at MacDill Air Force Base near Tampa spotted this unwelcome guest on the tarmac, casually hanging out next to a refueling aircraft. They alerted wildlife officials, who politely persuaded the gator to leave, using ropes and a remarkable amount of dexterity (and probably a stiff drink afterwards.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

Finally, your chance to own a robot dog that could destroy an entire town. Nine months ago, ‘Throwflame,’ who sell flamethrowers (duh), announced the invention of the ‘Thermonator,’ as ‘the first-ever flamethrower wielding robot dog,’ which can ‘deliver on-demand fire anywhere!’ And if you have $10,000 burning a hole in your pocket, then you too can now own your very own mechanical Cerberus, with which you can burn more than just pockets – things like your own property or yourself to death. Amazingly, this fiery dog is being marketed not only to the military industrial complex, but also the public, which has drawn huge amounts of interest. However, it remains to be seen what the average American would need with a weapon of war strapped to the back of a different weapon of war. Nonetheless, Throwflame has insisted on putting in some rather unnecessary additions that place it in the same category as smart toothbrushes and fitness monitors. Yes, it has Bluetooth for some reason, and a laser sight for precision immolation. Throwflame suggests that, should John Q Public choose the Thermonator for their genocidal needs, they may also use it for ‘entertainment,’ clearing snow from your driveway (and also the asphalt), or deliberately starting forest fires (please don't do that). And for all of you wondering why this madness is allowed, it’s covered by the Second Amendment, baby. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.
