Go Punk Yourself

I think this guy went a little overboard.

originally facing 7 years, ends up with 90 days $81,703 restitution

A beer can started it. A veteran's career ended it.

@DenisKursakov I saw a video about this, he was very cruel

[Steele Wright @MichaelsBenjo]

So why did he say that? Did a tweet go viral?

[Kursakov @DenisKursakov]

POST ABOUT HANTAVIRUS TURNED OUT TO BE A PREDICTION

On May 1st, a guy posted thougts during an H5N1 workshop

Almost nobody noticed it.

Just days later - around May 3–5 - major headlines about the suspected hantavirus cruise ship outbreak started appearing.

Did he actually predict it?

Not exactly. Experts have warned for years about how dangerous a human-transmissible hantavirus could be.

But posting that… literally days before the outbreak news exploded online?

Yeah, the timing is insane.

[Steele Wright @MichaelsBenjo]

@DenisKursakov I think he jinxed it - he shouldn't have written that

[Steele Wright @MichaelsBenjo]

@Dexerto what next? where next fight?

@PavelRaw they're going to recruit this guy for the Avengers tomorrow

NEW: The F-14 Tomcat may fly again over the United States for the first time in nearly 20 years.

The Senate has unanimously passed the "Maverick Act," which would transfer 3 retired F-14Ds from an Arizona boneyard to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center museum in Huntsville, Alabama.

The Navy would reportedly supply enough spare parts to get one of them airborne again.

The bill was introduced by former Navy SEAL Sen. Tim Sheehy, and is being championed by NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman.

It now heads to the House for final passage, possibly in time for America’s 250th birthday. The last Navy F-14 was retired in September 2006.

At first, I thought this was just another post about hantavirus. The yacht misled me.

Normal pregnant woman:

> enjoys a quiet walk or a boat day
> stays off public attention
> maybe posts a few private photos
> friends and family know the news first
> life continues without online speculation

Dianna Russini:

> seen on a Tennessee boat day with Mike Vrabel
> NFL insider constantly breaking league news before it happens
> video goes viral within hours across sports Twitter
> fans pause the clip and zoom into details mid-frame
> pregnancy becomes public discussion instantly
> every appearance turns into online analysis and speculation
> same person who reports the news becomes the headline

Normal moment.
Different level of visibility.

[Steele Wright @MichaelsBenjo]

@DenisKursakov A pregnancy sensation - something extraordinary. What happens next?

[Steele Wright @MichaelsBenjo]

@NeverteIImeodd What the super crazy view

[Steele Wright @MichaelsBenjo]

😳 “Pocahontas” is suing the creator of Avatar

Actress Q’orianka Kilcher claims James Cameron used her appearance as inspiration for Neytiri.

She is demanding compensation, a share of the franchise’s profits, and official recognition of the alleged resemblance.

So… do they actually look alike? 👀

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The @20DaysMariupol documentary won the "Oscar" award. I am grateful to the team for this film. This award is important for our entire country.

The horrors of Mariupol must never be forgotten. The entire world must see and remember what the inhumane Russian invasion brought to our people.

Cities and villages were destroyed, homes were burned, and entire families were killed by Russian shells and buried in their own backyards.

We still do not know entirely how many people died in Mariupol. However, satellite images show graveyards around the city with thousands and thousands of graves.

This documentary serves as a reminder of why international assistance—without delays or interruptions—is so critical to Ukraine. The Russian evil does not pause and does not seek peace. They want to inflict the same fate on every city that they can reach as they did on Mariupol, Bucha, and our other cities that suffered under Russian occupation.

Together, we must prevent Russia from destroying life. We must protect our country and all of our people in order to restore normal life free of fear.

I am grateful to everyone in the world who understands this and continues to support Ukraine. I thank everyone who tells the truth about Russia's war crimes.

Baby with his cherub legs kicking in the air while his mother wipes his bottom,
Crouched on the carpet floor of the library.
Will he remember this?
Me in my smart trousers with a wallet full of money.

@roguestrands Yes agreed, but it is essential, and maybe the same feelings can be stimulated, almost automatically, by the overall effect ?

[Steele Wright @MichaelsBenjo]

@MattHaighPoetry Can your poem be read online? Thanks

[Steele Wright @MichaelsBenjo]

@EllaFrears @homeofpolar Really enjoyable episode, and motivating too, thanks. The line which went somwthing like 'dont mind how many lovers he's had, my face says otherwise ' really stands out for me

[Steele Wright @MichaelsBenjo]

@dstaechurska I missed this - are there any other upcoming online events? Thanks

[Steele Wright @MichaelsBenjo]
