Florida Mayor Thursday Part Two
 

Arrested again: Ousted Port Richey mayor, with acting mayor, accused of intimidating police officer

This is tremendous!

A comedian literally died on stage, and the audience spent five minutes laughing, thinking it was part of the act.

Some member of my family visits this store at least once a week.

"I am sure you are already aware that this Sunday is also 2Pac's birthday" is a sentence I am pretty sure I will never receive in an email from my boss.

Whew.

I was worried my son may be gay, no chance of that now.

At least there's no indication she claimed "I don't know how it got there".

That'd make this next level disturbing.

Huh. Interesting one. Because of my years in close proximity to some high school football programs, my social media friend universe contains maybe a couple dozen high school and college coaches. At some point, just about every one of them has posted generic advice to young athletes about how their social media feed could cost them a scholarship and/or a job offer, and sometimes they use screen shots as example. I'm guessing that I see these sorts of "PSAs" once or twice a month. As a result, I probably have a bit of an inherent "she should have known better" bias that may not be fair in all cases. That said, if the potential employer asks you to follow their IG feed, shouldn't that be a least a yellow flag that they want you to make it easy for them to check out your online presence?

FWIW, a high enough percentage of my former YL kids use "altered" versions of their names on both FB and IG that I can only assume that it's a fairly well-known best practice to do so. This is the group that was in high school or college when FB first came out, and only high school kids, college kids, and people they invited had access to it. As a result, many of their feeds from back then are rampant with pics of drinking and/or weed smoking, profane rants, etc. I'm sure that if they don't want to delete their accounts, rather than trying to scrub stuff from 2005, it's just easier to change their names so that no potential employer can see that stuff. Examples: 31-year-old with initials of "T.M." now goes by "Taylor Made" on both FB and IG. Late-20s lawyer now goes by his first and middle names, last name nowhere to be found on social media. Even a certain former UT and Tucker High tailback who infamously shunned UGA because "UT plays for National Championships and Georgia goes to the Peach Bowl"--and then proceeded to play in and *lose* two Peach Bowls at UT--now uses a fake name despite his mug being easily recognizable to any serious SEC fan. ;) In every single one of these cases I've seen, the person used to use their first and last name, but changed it, so it seems fairly clear that it's to avoid this sort of thing.

I have a lot of students and former students that use first/middle as a way to hide from any unwanted attention.

WTF ??

Sounds like they used...poor judgement.

And Tommy Cooper. The video of whose death randomly surfaced after decades.

I know you never expect the comedian you're watching to die on stage, but, I'm not sure I'd think that falling over unconscious was "part of the show", as the audience did in all three cases.

Just watch ...

The title of the link makes me think that you're linking to a totally different (and more interesting) story.

Not that strange but kind of funny. Good reviews on Rotten Tomatoes so far but not one I would watch.

Well that sucks and is definitely a prickly situation that is probably hard to solve and hopefully none of those birds will choke when trying to swallow them.

You thought long and hard about this post didn't you. I'd hate to see the uncut version.

Not too long thankfully. :)

That's cute, they're like tiny little dicks.

Well played.
