Which sign of the apocalypse is this again?
There is much to worry over in these days etc. Documented, vicious encounters between masked and unmasked peoples in various Walmarts. “Bad Grandpa” United States of America presidential hopeful Joe Biden rounding on a kind African-American journalist, accusing him of “taking cocaine” while calling him a “junkie.”
Humpback whales, once the “poster animals of the left”, crushing vulnerable adult learners in Western Australia where Tahnee Pitman and her friend Sharnee Pannell had just finished their second snorkelling expedition when the mammals struck a 29-year-old woman, leaving her with internal bleeding and broken ribs.
Apparently the mother creature became “protective” and “aggressive” towards the snorkellers in the water without warning.
“We were all in shock, I really thought it was going to end a lot worse than it did,” Ms Pitman said.
“I was with a friend (Ms Pannell) and we all just kind of sat in silence waiting for the ambulance to come on board as there was nothing we could do to help the injured. She (the injured woman) was in a lot of pain.”
Meanwhile, on Australia’s other side, butthole Humpbacks charged other VALs in a never-before-witnessed attack.
One boardrider, Josh, told the press that he had never seen a whale, particularly a calf, come so close to the beach at Manly.
“There was a bit of pointing going on and I looked round and the little one was just there,” Josh said.
“Then mum came in pretty quick smart, I think when she realized how close people were.
“You often see [whales] further out the back but this one just came right up to where people were hanging on their boards.”
Sharks are one thing. Whales, much larger and with a history of swallowing itinerant preachers whole, are quite another.
Worried?
You should be.
We all should be.
More as the story develops.

What the fuck did my eyeballs just see
Whales, please eat all VALS.
good for him.. I say get it while its good…. cause it ain’t gonna last forever.. life has never been fair.. can’t be fair.. we are predators, like sharks.. or like a virus (the matrix)
They actually gave the money to the Tibetan government in exile, not the Dalai Lama who has no personal money.

well let’s face it, what choice do they have
From that thumb nail I really expected to see more than stock footage. I now feel empty inside.
AI generated video based on input text. How totally fucked, and hilarious, and… cheap.
This will be the way the WSL ends up. AI / CGI generated artificial ‘surfers’ overlaid onto webcam setups around the world. Algorithms for Speed, Power, Flow and random ‘trick’ attempts. Characters traded like Pokemon cards and controlling bookies raking it in.
Show me to the whales. I’d like to have my head crushed please.
Where and how can we create? (He asks while typing on a device that has the answers)
No idea. I guess some content factory has the software to crank this shit out, unfortunately.
Us, after another Chas shark (whale) piece: https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
You could spray your vagina with bleach too… several known options check twitter for updates.
Whales! Peaceful my arse.
Whalin’ Jennings.
S’all his fault.
Tahnee and Sharnee…. fucken hell only in WA could such feral bogans exist. Did the whale remove their other heads? I can’t see from the pics.

Fuckin A, Wiggs, I was wondering what the fuck about their names too. I guess WA has got some mothers with exotic dreams. But that girl in the front looks like I would like to give her some internal bruising, which might result in a broken rib or two also. The one in the back, maybe after a 12 pack!
def would bang..
To be fair to the whale, I would crush them too.
Is the voice-over done by Kalani Miller ?
It certainly sounds American/Asian/Robot adjacent…
what the fuck was that video? why were there two arms sharing a grasp back and forth.. is this christian indoctrination from Chas.. LT.. are you safe amigo? (bye the way chas.. almost all of christianity has fucked Jesus’ image in the name of greed, whereas buddhism pretty much just is)
You are absolutely wrong! See: Free Tibet Concerts. Also, Christianity. Finally, that video was the most bizarre thing I’ve seen in a minute. You’re welcome!
well as a recovering catholic, i have a hard fucking time normalizing the largest real estate owner in the world with the billions of folks that can’t eat today. So I am glad the Christianity holds onto its architecture..
Do you think the value of their real estate is in decline due to pretentious consumers not wishing to buy a property where a kid has been fucked and tortured by a dirty old man? Strangely, the answer is no.
not with a good wave nearby, fake or real.
Have you read ‘Ghost Empire’ by Richard Fidler? About the history of the Eastern Roman / Byzantines.
Compressed history in an amazing way. Breaks my heart thinking of all the looting and destruction of art & architecture over the centuries.
no but i will look it up, thanks. i am a big history guy
It might be too pop-history for you, but it really brought it to life for me.
‘Saga Land’ about Icelandic Norse history also (Fidler) amazing.
I was really looking forward to this one, (pre-ordered and all), having some skin in the game. But I couldn’t really get into the book. Found the shifting between the sagas and the present day travels too jarring maybe? I might give it another go.
In other news; 10Sock getting committed to ‘1’s and ‘0’s this weekend. Hope to do you proud.
Looking forward to the songing!
I was pretty relaxed about the book’s jumps as classic narrative device. The immediacy if the retold sagas were too good.
Free Tibet Concerts raised millions of dollars for Tibetan causes and Buddhist imagery was not involved

I had a problem with a jewish client in Tel Aviv. He had read a story I wrote in which I criticized Israel.
Of course, he conflated judiasm with Israel, so my only reaction was to separate the two and backhand compliment the religion.
“I do have respect for the Jewish faith. Christians have allowed pagan idolatry to overwhelm their piety in the form of crass commercialisation (Santa, Easter bunny, etc). Jewish people have a deep reverence and would never step over that line and for that, I give them credit”
It worked is all I will say, but I was in his crosshairs from that point on.
Buddhists, Hindus, even fucking Scientologists don’t blasphemy their sacred holidays, yet Christians sell their souls and forget why they are celebrating.
