Coachella Attendees Stunned by Festival’s ‘Diabolical’ Food and Drink Prices: ‘Miserable Money Trap’
People | 4/13/25 | Charlotte Phillipp

People attending the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival are stunned once again about the food prices — and many festivalgoers are turning to social media to highlight just how expensive everything is.

In videos shared on TikTok, Coachella attendees showed off what they ate and how much they paid for their meals or individual items.

TikToker Ruth Viveros shared in a April 11 video that she spend $102 for two plates of three tacos, a plate of loaded nachos and two lemonades, with each lemonade costing $17 per cup. “They’re not good, not good at all,” she said of the tacos. “The tortillas are like freezing cold.”

Do hippies now want to punch other hippies? Crapitalism!

Will they now make a giant intellectual leap and see that their Democrat-run governments do the same thing?

I guess IMAO won’t be moving to the UK any time soon.

Police make 30 arrests a day for offensive online messages
The Times of London | April 4, 2025 | Charlie Parker, Yennah Smart, George Willoughby

The police are making more than 30 arrests a day over offensive posts on social media and other platforms.

Thousands of people are being detained and questioned for sending messages that cause “annoyance”, “inconvenience” or “anxiety” to others via the internet, telephone or mail.

Custody data obtained by The Times shows that officers are making about 12,000 arrests a year under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 and section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988.

The acts make it illegal to cause distress by sending “grossly offensive” messages or sharing content of an “indecent, obscene or menacing character” on an electronic communications network.

Why not have Ring ™ cameras in every room of your house, saving screen shots every three seconds, so that if something happens they will have ‘before’ and ‘after’ photos — for your convenience and safety ™?

Or they can just make them live.

“Had I seen that” is too much to expect.

Please make a note of it. Thanks. It’ll make watching the news less stressful.

Helicopter crash in South Africa blamed on ‘unsecured’ penguin
UPI | 4/11/25 | Ben Hooper

…

The passenger riding in the front seat of the helicopter held the box containing the penguin on his lap, securing it with his hands, but he lost his grip just after take-off and the box slid into the pilot’s cyclic pitch control lever.

The lever was pushed to the far-right position, causing the helicopter to roll to the right and strike the ground with its rotors.

The report said the helicopter, which landed on its side, “sustained serious damage, but no human or penguin passengers were harmed.”

Well, that’s a headline you don’t see every day.

I wouldn’t even ride with an intern in my lap if I was in the passenger seat of a helicopter.
