Same with the Tantrum/Hydra battle. Tantrum driving in a circle around Hydra and avoiding contact is aggression?? When they weren't doing the avoiding routine, Hydra was throwing them all over the place. Battlebots has been pushing Witch Doctor through the whole event this year. They got a 24-seed for beating that 0-3 disaster of an entry for Duck this year, losing by KO to End Game, and then beating 0-2 Rusty and pretending that that was some sort of achievement. Then, when Witch Doctor's first-round 9-seed opponent in the tourney couldn't get their bot to work (3-0 Glitch), Battlebots replaced them with 1-2 Mammoth?? So all of the bots that Witch Doctor beat going into the round of 16 went a combined 1-7. Finally, some thoughts for next season. 1) They need to dump the little useless platform that they added this year - what's the point of it? The main effect of it was just to ruin the flow of several matches. 2) They need to cut Faruq's announcing bits to the shortest time possible - he's tolerable when it's just a couple of lines, but when it's a whole soliloquy it was a FFWD for me every time. 3) They need to get rid of the saws in the floor - when they pop up, they don't affect any of the matches, and when they aren't popped up, bot after bot gets tripped up or downright stuck in the holes. And 4) They need to fix the freaking floor - there are so many divots in that thing that any low bot would repeatedly get tripped up just trying to drive around the floor this season. A bot would be coming in for an attack and then get stuck and have to back up to try again - what an excitement killer.

Haha! "It's all the Dems' fault!!!" The repub party is a dumpster fire.

The beginnings of a 50-car pileup in Pennsylvania due to a snow squall on Monday. Spoilered because 3 people died somewhere in the whole thing before it ended, and because of the jackass commentator, but that's a damn lucky survivor at 0:41.

The uncensored footage shown in Australia and Japan have already been posted here, but here's the uncensored footage as it was shown in Bikini Bottom:

One of the few situations where "I ran into a door knob" is a believable excuse?

And eye earrings just watching that gif

Did they control all three TV channels? Were they responsible for the rise of disco? And does this mean that these might have actually worked?

🤣 This guy right here! "Well, too bad! Go someplace else... Go to Burger King. Have it your way at Burger King!" "Better yet, I don't want the food." "You don't need the food!"

Post more!

I think the Gulf Coast edition used brown water for local fimiliarity sake.

Even Ukraine's librarians are salty!

The International Paralympic Commission has reversed their decision from yesterday when they said russian paralympic athletes could compete in the 2022 Winter Paralympic Games as neutrals, competing under the Paralympic flag. Today, they have announced that both russia and belarus have been barred due to situations arising from athletes/teams/committees from other countries refusing to compete against those two countries. Kind of a weak statement: "At the IPC we are very firm believers that sport and politics should not mix," he said. "However, by no fault of its own the war has now come to these Games and behind the scenes many Governments are having an influence on our cherished event.", but an understandable decision.

Difference is, Ukraine gave their citizens guns and they started fighting against the invading russian forces, whereas if the US gave guns to their citizens, poll after poll supports that the current conservative freakshow would probably join in with the russian invading forces. Besides, Ukraine's military budget is around $6 billion, ours is around $750 billion. If an invading country gets to the point where we are relying on simple citizens to repel the invasion, then we've already lost that war.

I continue to be impressed by the Ukrainian people and their fight. See these two tweets - Car occupants doing a drive-by molotov cocktailing of a broken down russian tank that is being towed back (passenger even accidentally sets herself on fire for a second while doing it). And then second tweet showing where to throw the molotov cocktails on different types of russian vehicles.

A vacuum bomb. You know... they'd drop a dirty bomb and then they'd use the vacuum bomb to clean the place up a little bit afterward....
