Popeye’s Trolls Entitled, Fraudulent Dog Owners with Airport Packaging
Bravo, Popeye’s. Bravo.


For those of us who consider ourselves “dog people”, there are a few things within our current society that grind our gears like no other.
The first is Breed Specific Legislation, or the idea that certain breeds of dog should be legally discriminated against due to the perceived threat that they pose to human beings. Almost exclusively, this sort of asinine thinking tends to single out dogs with muscular heads and short coats, lumping them all into some make-believe breed called a “pitbull”. In reality, we understand that a dog’s aggressive behavior is almost exclusively a product of their interaction with human beings, and that so-called “pitbulls” are not responsible for a majority of dog attacks to begin with.
I could go on all day on this subject, as my Staffordshire Bull Terrier lays on the couch upstairs, sunning herself in the window and working on her thesis regarding the behavior of squirrels.
The other ridiculous issue that makes dog owners see red are the prevalence of phony “emotional support animals” everywhere we go. Restaurants, museums, Walmart, and especially on airplanes, we find ourselves surrounded by entitled owners who spent a few dollars online for a vest and a “certificate” that says that they can take their dog wherever they want.
And here why that is nonsense:
It only cost $35 for you to make some TSA agent’s day a living nightmare, and ruin the experience of everyone around you.
The prevalence of this nonsense has gotten so out of control as of late that even Popeye’s Chicken decided to poke fun at the entitled and arrogant ESA phonies with their latest airport packaging.
Popeyes is jumping on the controversial emotional support pet bandwagon with its latest promotion — a to-go container for its “Emotional Support Chicken.”
For a limited time, the fried chicken chain is offering travelers at Philadelphia International Airport an “Emotional Support Chicken” carrier when they purchase a 3-piece chicken tender combo meal.
The promotion, which starts Tuesday, will provide guests with a carry-on box in the shape of a chicken and a sign boasting about its chicken’s “comforting” effects for travelers.
And, because you have to see it to fully appreciate it:
Popeyes’ ‘Emotional Support Chicken’ is totally TSA-friendly https://t.co/YxUKOMPW3i pic.twitter.com/nBeeL2uYSC

Police Say Buffalo Supermarket Shooting was Racially Motivated
Local authorities described the crime as “pure evil”.


On Saturday, a young gunman walked into a quiet grocery store in Buffalo, New York and opened fire.
The scene was described as chaotic and “armageddon-like”, as the killer stalked through the store expressionless, cold, and live-streaming the whole thing to the internet. When the horror ended, ten were dead, several others injured, and the city of Buffalo was left scarred.
Now, in a deplorable revelation, police are disclosing that the crime was racially motivated.
An 18-year-old white gunman shot 10 people to death and wounded three on Saturday at a grocery store in a Black neighborhood of upstate New York, before surrendering after what authorities called an act of “racially motivated violent extremism.”
Authorities said the suspect, who was armed with an assault-style rifle and appeared to have acted alone, drove to Buffalo from his home several hours away to launch the afternoon attack that he broadcast in real time on social media platform Twitch, a live video service owned by Amazon.com.
Eleven of the 13 people struck by gunfire were Black, officials said. The two others were white. The racial breakdown of the dead was not made clear.
Hateful online content has been attributed to the killer.
A document circulating online that appeared to have been written by the killer sketched out a to-do list for the attack, including cleaning the gun and testing the livestream.
In addition, a 180-page manifesto outlining ‘The Great Replacement Theory’ – the idea that white people are being replaced by minorities in the United States and other countries – also circulated online, reportedly authored by Gendron.
The suspect has suggested that he chose this particular grocery store on account of the high minority demographics within the ZIP code, further corroborating his hateful basis.

While there are certainly plenty of reasons to worry about the never-ending march into the technological dystopia before us, we have to admit that some of what were seeing is still pretty darn cool.
For many of us, it’s as though we’re living in an episode of The Jetsons. Self-driving cars, video phone calls, apps that can tell you what song you’re listening to in the blink of an eye. These are all revolutionary pieces of technology that we have gained for ourselves in merely the last decade or so.
This week, however, Google may have just taken the cake on powerful consumer electronics, teasing a pair of glasses that can translate languages nearly in real-time.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Wednesday teased a pair of smart glasses capable of translating languages in real time.
Pichai showed a video demo of the glasses during Google’s I/O developer summit. While they’re still just a prototype, Google suggested the glasses can show live language translations to the person wearing them.
So, someone with the augmented reality glasses might be able to understand what another person is saying just by reading captions that are presented through the lenses while the other person speaks.
There was no indication as to whether or not the glasses would ever be available to the public, however.
