What Made You Do A Facepalm Today??

A British man plunged to his death from a bridge in Spain while creating social media content, local authorities said, in a deadly incident that underscores the potential perils of the live-action era of the internet.  The 26-year-old, who has not yet been identified, was scaling the Castilla-La Mancha Bridge in central Spain when he fell.

 

The man and a fellow Briton, age 24, had come to the Talavera de la Reina area to climb the bridge to “create content for social networks,” Macarena Muñoz, the local councilor for citizen security, said in a government statement.

I don't even like to drive across those types of bridges (I haven't been to Spain, lol) because they're interesting and its hard to keep eyes on the road!  I can't imagine climbing this.

So, Neil Gaiman is a creep as well?

 

”I trusted you!  You were the chosen one!”

His writing always creeped me out, never finished the 2 books of his I tried to read years ago.  Not surprised.

A little while ago, my elderly neighbor, "Dave", came across the street to say hi....and to hand me a business card for some political-religious organization that he really likes.  He was even dressed in the company's hat and shirt.  My neighbor is quite the zealot, and I know that he's been itching to talk politics/religion with me for years. 

 

He went away disappointed.  I told him that we (my elderly mother and I) like him and his wife very much, but that we just don't talk politics & religion.  He had a blank look on his face, so I changed the subject and we chatted about other things for a while until he finally meandered back home.  

 

It's such a simple concept, Dave.  Neighbors get along best when they DON'T talk politics & religion.

This is even more true today than when you posted this.

A couple of dense Tom Brady stans online were deflecting about how bad he is at announcing games with the usual "But he has the most rings" malarkey.

 

So?  John Smoltz was a great pitcher.  Your point, you dense jabronis?
