Either the world is not doing enough crazy things to comment on,

or it’s become so crazy that one doesn’t know where to begin.

I’m not sure which.

But if this is from February, why am I just seeing it now?

This Actor Won’t Give Up Daily Prayer Time: ‘Most Important Thing’
MovieGuide | Feb 2025

Mark Wahlberg might take a day off from the gym, but he never lets a day go by without praying.

“That’s the most important thing,” the actor said in an interview. “I take a day off, I take two days a week off from the gym now. I don’t take a day off from getting on my hands and knees and reading my prayer book and my daily devotionals.”

“Everything derives from my prayer life and my pursuit of my faith and a relationship with God, of course, trying to live a purpose-filled life,” he told The Christian Post, adding that it’s especially helpful when he’s playing darker roles.

He explained, “If I act like a crazy person for 12 hours out of the day, I come back, and I say another little prayer, and I ask for forgiveness. We are trying to entertain people. We want to break up the monotony of everyday difficulty. A lot of people are having real struggles and hard times in life, and so to be able to give them something to escape and enjoy and laugh and cry and be at the edge of their seat with a movie like this, which is such a thrill ride.”

Wahlberg’s most recent project is FLIGHT RISK, a Mel Gibson-directed action movie that sees Wahlberg play the bad guy.

“It’s a blast,” he told FOX 5 of playing a villain.

This person posted insider advice on a news forum, and I learned something, but what to do with that knowledge? If you have to go to a certain airport, there’s not much you can do about it.

One is probably safer in a large commerical plane flying into US airports where the runways are parallel instead of criss-crossing. Atlanta has 5 east-west runways, DFW has 5 north south that they mainly use, but a couple NW-SE for smaller planes. O’Hare is mostly parallel, with a couple of crossing runways like Dallas. LAX they are all parallel.

All three major New York airports need to be re-designed or replaced. And I don’t know what they were thinking in Denver when they used a swastika to design the runways.

Heh. Swastika Denver. Tellurreich. Natskis. Allied with the Rising Sundance.

This comment was in response to this incident, incidentally:

Passenger jet had to abort takeoff to avoid runway collision at New York’s LaGuardia Airport
AP News | May 19, 2025 | Josh Funk

Federal officials are investigating why two planes got dangerously close on a runway at New York’s LaGuardia Airport earlier this month despite the airport being equipped with an advanced surface radar system that’s designed to help prevent such close calls.

Both the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board said Monday that they are investigating the May 6 incident when a Republic Airways jet had to abort takeoff because a United Airlines plane was still taxiing across the runway.

Oh, is that a problem?

In audio from the tower that ABC obtained from the website www.LiveATC.net, the air traffic control said to the pilot of the Republic Airways jet: “Sorry, I thought United had cleared well before that.”

… So I say, throw her in jail just out of spite.

“Norbotten”? More like “Verboten,” heh.

Arrested for Selling Cinnamon Buns
Euroweekly News | 18 May 2025 | Adam Woodward

A woman in her 70s in Norrbotten, Sweden, started selling homemade bread and pastries in 2019, but without a registered business and without having a government-approved kitchen for food production. Her cinnamon buns, in particular, became a hit with locals.

She was given a fine by the local council, but despite repeated pressure, she did not pay. The case first gained attention in autumn 2024 when the woman was ultimately sentenced to one month and 14 days in prison after continuing her sales and not paying any fines.

The verdict is being appealed to the Court of Appeal for Upper Norrland, which has heard the case and is now pondering the sentence: ‘She has a very hard time wondering what it is she has done that is so wrong and is unsure what spending six weeks in prison will look like,’ says the woman’s lawyer, Frida Larsson.

Larsson has previously explained that the woman had financial difficulties in paying the fine imposed, as she is a pensioner. The woman herself believes that her baking is not about profit and that she only sold baked goods to cover the costs of ingredients. She has described her interest in baking as a hobby that she likes to share with others on social media.

Everyone is aware that it is difficult to change the court’s decision, but she is still considering an appeal to the Supreme Court, says lawyer Frida Larsson.

Maybe she should make the Supreme Court a nice plate of cookies.

If I repaid Gramma for her cookies with a peck on the cheek, was she supposed to report that on her income tax?

Gingerbread House? 3:00 a.m. S.W.A.T. team raid and kick the damn gumdrop door in! Let the chocolate chips fall where they may!

Tessio:
Can you get me off the hook, Tom? For old times’ sake?

Tom Hagen:
Can’t do it, Sally Lunn.

The icing on the cake of a dictatorial society is that there will be no icing on the cake unless a permit is obtained. With ten percent for the Big Guy.

Apparently, when buns are outlawed only outlaws will have buns.
