Steve Bannon Does Perp Walk in Cuffs
Bannon was arrested on Thursday, for his role in a fraudulent fundraising scheme, allegedly to build the border wall, that seems to have been more of a fundraiser for Bannon. Twitter really enjoyed the video of his handcuffed perp walk.
Guess we got to lock her up after all.

Oh Fuck the Doomsday Glacier Isn't Doing Well at All
The Thwaites Glacier known as the Doomsday Glacier is pretty important, because if it collapses, our oceans could rise ten feet, and that would be pretty disastrous. A new study says the glacier is retreating at a far faster rate than anyone predicted and warming seas could prove disastrous. “Thwaites is really holding on today by its fingernails, and we should expect to see big changes over small timescales in the future — even from one year to the next — once the glacier retreats beyond a shallow ridge in its bed,” marine geophysicist and study co-author Robert Larter from the British Antarctic Survey said in a press release.
Can we get Bannon to hold a fundraiser to build a wall around it?

The 911 Promotion Apologies Have Begun
Its that time of year again- time for companies to get in trouble for their awful 9-11 related promotions to backfire on them. First up this year is a country club in Virginia that created a 9/11 themed brunch with Pentagon Pie, and 2977 chowder on the menu. 2,977 people died on after the September 11 attacks. A remember-tini washes it all down.
They’re just getting even cause we took down the Robert E Lee statues.
