Colorado residents shocked by falling debris from a United Airlines flight after hearing explosion

Here's the moment the engine caught fire.
That's gnarly. Imagine sitting in that plane and you look out the window and that's what you see. What do you do?
RIP Donnie Darko, who died in a different timeline so the rest of us could live on.

This is genuinely stupid. Cantonese and Mandarin are spoken languages. They share the same written language.
Hanyu (romanization is Pinyin) is standard everywhere Chinese is written, even where Cantonese is predominantly the spoken dialect.
I’ve never heard of any Chinese person getting offended over being presented with a snack written in simplified or traditional characters. Must be a fake Chinese.

Michael Crichton was a deeply cynical conservative who observed and identified how ideology, hubris, the pursuit of clout and virtue, and profit-seeking make for an ugly, polygamous marriage that defines the progressive left.
I don’t think he liked corporatist libertarians all that much either.
He was distrusting of the mainstream media, coining the concept of the “Gell-Mann effect” in which people can identify total bullshit on one page of the newspaper only to instantly take for granted the “facts” written on the next page about some subject they’re unfamiliar with.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for Australian news publications being silenced by Facebook for trying to blackmail the company into paying them whenever someone posts a link to their publications?
Let’s get this straight. Facebook sends traffic to these sites, which benefit from free use of the platform that enables them to monetize and earn profit from Facebook traffic. Now these sites are demanding Facebook pay them whenever they (the sites) post their own links to them.
Fuck you, Facebook isn’t a charity.

FYI to Texans running out of water: You can boil snow.
Just don’t be a dumbass and eat it. There’s bacteria in it and it’ll dehydrate you.
Now you might be wondering how consuming snow dehydrates you. Well, when your body is using more energy to warm up the snow in your digestive system compared to the amount of liquid you’re ingesting you’re gonna have a bad time.

The media sabotaged Andrew Cuomo by turning up unrealistic expectations on his performance and now they’re eating him alive.
Poor fucking bastard. I happen to like his Godfather-esque mannerisms.
Speaking of. (Via @GPrime85) Image

I find it funny when conservatives point out day in day out the ways in which liberals are hypocrites who don’t live by the same rules they force conservatives to adopt.

Guess what? Liberals are the aristocrats. Conservatives are the peasants. Some have privileges others don’t.
The ruling class gets to do things commoners do not. It isn’t that complicated.
And when conservatives take power, we squander it by trying to be “fair” to liberals and treating them with kid gloves, seeking validation for ourselves with their approval. Pathetic.
