It's nowhere near October, but one ensemble is already on track to be named the most controversial Halloween costume of 2015.

Social media users were out in full force on Monday criticizing several Halloween retailers for offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume reminiscent of the former-athlete's Vanity Fair cover earlier this year.

While Jenner's supporters condemned the costume as "transphobic" and "disgusting" on Twitter, Spirit Halloween, a retailer that carries the costume, defended the getup.

"At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes," said Lisa Barr, senior director of marking at Spirit Halloween. "We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that."
 

Visitors see bison fall into Yellowstone hot spring and die. ‘Haunting’

Some Yellowstone visitors were left reeling from witnessing a bison’s last moments after the animal fell into one of the park’s hot springs.

The incident happened Saturday, June 21, just before 7 a.m., according to Yellowstone National Park visitors who witnessed the bison’s demise.

“Unfortunately, I witnessed the bison drowning in the Grand Prismatic Springs early yesterday morning,” someone wrote in a June 22 post in the “Yellowstone Through The Lens” Facebook group, where park and wildlife enthusiasts share photos and information about the park. “It took a few steps into a shallow area to the right of the pool, it turned around and stepped out very quickly. It stood for a moment, then turned back towards the spring and stepped into a deeper section then couldn’t get out despite trying its best.”
Photos show the bison struggling in the spring, thrashing and jumping into the air to try to get away from the boiling hot water.

“These images are haunting,” someone said in the comments.

While it was likely horrific to witness, it is something that happens in the park “from time to time,” Mike Poland, scientist-in-charge at the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, told McClatchy News in an email.

“There are occasional reports from observers of wildlife dying in hot springs,” he said in the email. “I can’t tell you exactly how many incidents there are a year (likely many that happen go unwitnessed), but it’s not at all unprecedented.”

Several people commented on the post, some saying it was sad while others said it was fascinating to see nature play out before them.

“What an incredible experience to witness nature’s beauty and fury,” someone else said.

“Such a beautiful and dangerous place,” another person said.

Another person posted photos and videos they had taken of the aftermath in the Facebook group, seeking information about the type of animal they had seen dead at the edge of the spring. They initially thought it was “a massive bear,” they said.

The photos and videos show the spring’s steam causing low visibility in the basin, which some speculated might have confused the bison as it was trying to escape.

“I took a moment to contemplate the story this scene might tell, and the inevitability of life and death,” they wrote in the June 22 post. “While a bit existential, it made for one of my most memorable experiences in nature.”

I'm in the mood for bison burgers now.

Damn, they're $14.99 a pound where I live (and I do not mean the crap that is often sold as bison). I wonder if you could pay more to have Yellowstone specific ground bison burgers that were actually verifiably boiled in Yellowstone hot springs.

Or cannibal burgers from the retards who routinely get boiled from ignoring the rules.

Teen reels in 51 lb. King Salmon, not old enough to win derby

Hoonah teen Riley Neal has always been a fan of fishing.

“This boy loves to be on the water,” Riley’s father Ryan Neal said. “As soon as he gets off work, ‘Dad, can I go fishing?!’ I’m like, ‘you’ve got to help me out, do some chores or something,’ but he just wants to be on the water constantly.”

On Thursday, the 15-year-old angler got a bite that led to the catch of a lifetime on the waters near Angoon.

″I was asking my cousin if he wanted to go fishing," Riley recalled, using his uncle’s boat. ”At first we just started jigging for herring and that took a little while to find some, so we started trolling and about 30 minutes in, I just saw my line take off.”


Riley may have known he had a decent fish on the line, but didn’t know the battle he was about to get into.

″After about 20 minutes I realized, it was going to take awhile to fight and about 40 minutes in, I finally saw it and I saw it was a huge king salmon."

After 3.5 hours and several close calls, they were finally able to scoop the salmon into a net.

“It probably ran five to six times, I only got it to the boat once and it’d just take off, I’d get it a little closer and I’d see it and then it’d just take off again.”


Riley reeled in a 51-pound king salmon with the help of his cousin and a local nearby who had a larger net. A king’s tale to tell the rest of his life.

“[Riley] called me he’s like, ‘Dad, I got the biggest king salmon in the world!’ and he said he was shaking; it was an amazing story.” Neal said, who was traveling at the time anxiously awaiting updates from friends and family.

It was a prized king that would qualify for the top of the leaderboard of a local salmon derby.

“This probably would have been a derby winner, I think the next biggest was 36 pounds.”


However, derby participants must be at least 16-years old.

″If you can fight a king salmon, know how to bait it, know how to troll, there should be no age limit." Ryan added.

Riley says he is going to take his own boat next year when he is age eligible and attempt to land an even bigger king. As for the colossal king he caught, he shared the head and belly with his grandfather and will continue to use and distribute the rest.

“I do it for fun and food,” Riley said of fishing. “I will probably do it the rest of my life.”

I like how the source feels bad for the homeowner and work crew.

The home owner obviously paid for the lowest bidder and got what he paid for.

The crew aren't even wearing chain saw pants, helmets, ear protection, and I bet didn't have liability insurance. And thats only the first level of shit wrong with this setup.
 
In what is a very brutal way to go out, a worker at a cereal factory died after getting stuck in an industrial oven.

A new Reddit slapfight is occurring over a powermod and his dreaded content stealing and general asshattery.

https://old.reddit.com/user/LoretiTV/ This is an account with moderator status on over 213 subreddits and head mod of several prominent goyslop ones like The Boys, Severance, and HouseoftheDragon. As a pathetic loser in need of internet clout, they decided to steal other people’s content, ban anyone who points out it’s not their OC, and demod anyone who doesn’t toe the line. Users tried calling them out by creating https://old.reddit.com/r/ExposingLoretiTV but Reddit being Reddit it was banned for targeted harassment. Now people are trying to spread the word and get the ever aloof admins to do something about the retard but it is likely to come to nothing because they don’t give a shit. Lots of malding though!


I guess the question is who is this retard? Well if you Google his handle you come up with an instagram account for one Daniel Loreti

Gary man gets 164 years for kidnapping girl from Michael Jackson house, then assaulting her
Chicago Tribune (archive.ph)
By Meredith Colias-Pete
2025-07-02 19:31:45GMT
When a New York father decided on a whim to take his teen daughter to Michael Jackson’s childhood home in Gary during a cross-county trip looking at colleges, they unwittingly crossed paths with Oasia Barnes.

Barnes, 70, of Gary, was accused of robbing cash from the man, then forcing him and his daughter, then 16, by gunpoint from the popular tourist attraction on Aug. 9, 2024, taking them to a nearby abandoned home, separating the girl and forcing her to perform a sex act in an overgrown field.

He later fondled her behind a home on the 2200 block of Washington Street, records allege, before a Gary police officer later found them there with a third man.

Barnes was charged with 17 felonies, ranging from Level 1 felony rape to sexual battery. The jury, deliberating 25 minutes, found him guilty on all counts.

He indicated he will appeal.

Prosecutors added gun and repeat sexual offender enhancements a month before trial, which made up 15 years of his prison sentence.

Records show he is a convicted serial rapist, dating back to the 1970s and was released from a 1985 Gary rape sentence on March 18, 2024 — almost five months before the assault.

What happened to them was “absolutely horrible,” Deputy Prosecutor Tara Villarreal said Wednesday, later adding Barnes “deserves to die in prison.”

The sentencing was rescheduled last month, but ultimately the victims did not attend.

Villarreal read a letter from the girl, who was 17 when she testified at trial. Her sense of safety was “completely shattered.” She was constantly looking over her shoulder and avoiding social situations.

“I don’t feel free in my own life,” she wrote.

Unfortunately, the victims “didn’t know anything about the city of Gary,” Villarreal said. Barnes was there “looking for his next prey.”

He had the “chance to live in freedom” after his release and threw it away, she said. He was an “absolute monster.”

The victim’s mother was still living overseas, waiting to move to the U.S. when this all happened. Imagine “getting that phone call,” the prosecutor said.

Barnes was remorseless, she argued, noting he said in pre-sentencing paperwork that he never should have been convicted. She asked for 115 years.

Defense lawyer Bob Varga said Barnes left home at 15 and spent a “great deal of his life” in prison. He had a heart attack in recent years and other health problems. He asked for “any leniency” possible.

Judge Samuel Cappas asked Barnes if he wanted to speak on his own behalf.

“No, sir,” he responded.

Cappas noted Barnes had rape or attempted rape cases from 1971, 1976, 1978 and 1984. He was on parole for the last rape case when the attack happened.

Barnes needed to be “separated from society” and was “every female’s nightmare,” he said.

“Unfortunately for him, this is going to be his death sentence, probably and rightfully so,” Cappas said. The sentence was “probably what he should have gotten a long time ago, so that this could never happen again.”
Unfortunately, the victims “didn’t know anything about the city of Gary,” Villarreal said.
Obviously. Gary ranks up there with East St. Louis as a place you never want to enter willingly.

Just another point reinforcing my belief that you have to kill rapists and child molesters after their first offense. The courts aren't going to protect the public, so the public has to turn to vigilantism.

The only time I've ever been in East St. Louis was fueling up off a highway off-ramp when I was on fumes. Anyone who's ever driven that particular stretch of highway here may have been to the very gas station. It was like a horror movie and I was like the dude in that "there could be niggers here" meme. Except more "there DEFINITELY are niggers here."

And I'm not hugely niggerphobic either. I've lived in majority-minority neighborhoods (and with no problem whatsoever with the neighbors) and cities on the level of Detroit (although the at least half-white parts).

East St. Louis, even at a minimal contact level, is SCARY.

A old man is convicted for a murder he commited in 1967.
92-year-old Ryland Headley was convicted at Bristol Crown Court of killing 75-year-old mother of two, Louisa Dunne, at her home back in June 1967.Matching palm prints taken at the scene almost 60 years ago led a jury to find Headley guilty on both charges.It's thought to be the UK's longest cold case to reach trial.
Imagine if we menaged to caught the real killer of JFK who's still alive at an old age... :story:

Yea the usual suspects... In the usual city... Chimping up with their pew pews. And it will not get any traction by the main stream liberal media except the usual "Guns are Bad" crowd.
