Loose Ends (193)

It’s still early in the morning out here on the Left Coast, but I declare David Deeble to be the Winner of the Day on Twitter:

If you’re a fan, don’t be a free-rider: hit up David’s tip jar at BuyMeACoffee.

Shanghai Disney shuts over Covid, visitors unable to leave

Shanghai’s Disney Resort abruptly suspended operations on Monday to comply with Covid-19 prevention measures, with all visitors at the time of the announcement directed to stay in the park until they return a negative test for the virus.

Staten Island Sri Lankan beauty pageant descends into vicious brawl as women in ball gowns try to break up fight between suited men: Winner says clash had ‘nothing’ to do with event or contestants

A shocking viral video shows the moment a massive brawl erupted at an after-party for the first-ever Miss Sri Lanka beauty pageant in New York City.

Women in ball gowns can be seen trying to break up the violent fight. The suited men kicking and throwing punches, however, continue to pile-up.

The melee, which did not involve any contestants, took place on Friday at The Vanderbilt in Staten Island’s South Beach neighborhood, which is known for having a high population of Sri Lankan immigrants.

Trump would have put this on pay-per-view.
