Gross reaction to woman’s viral gym bra fail: ‘Wear clothes’
A woman whose zip-up sports bra burst open at the gym has copped wild criticism from men who claim she should “wear clothes” to avoid the situation.
While women everywhere empathized with Canadian influencer Kylie Thompson after she shared a video of her recent wardrobe malfunction while she was working out, there were others who claimed Thompson should “wear clothes instead of undergarments” in public spaces.
Her unfortunate experience sparked a war of words between men and women after Thompson shared the clip on TikTok.
In the video, Thompson can be seen wearing a pair of grey bike shorts with a khaki top that features a zip that goes through the middle.
Despite the clasp being fully closed, the top bursts open as Thompson gets ready to lift weight using a machine, prompting her to clasp her chest.
“New gym fear unlocked: wardrobe malfunctions,” the popular gym-user wrote across the footage.
She also praised the “clasp on the inside” for protecting her from being fully exposed, as it kept the top held together while the middle split apart.
Thompson’s video quickly blew up, but as women shared their own wardrobe mishaps at the gym, the opposite sex appeared to have little sympathy for her plight.
“Maybe wear clothes instead of undergarments. I wish I was born 2000 years ago,” one bloke lamented.
“That’s why there’s something called shirts for public,” another scoffed.
One particularly rude bloke even made a completely unacceptable remark about Thompson’s bust size, while another echoed a similar sentiment one woman labelled “gross.”
That mean old mansplaining has struck again! How dare men suggest a woman wear a shirt when she is worried about her sports bra busting open! Harrumph, harrumph.
Just look at this cool motherfucker.
Oh noes! Not a man talking!
“We help your favorite Democratic candidates communicate more effectively. We influence influencers to write like us. Biden 2020 Digital Alum.”
LOL
Men who talk to women they don’t know in real life should be summarily executed.
“Texas woman Brandy Selim Roberson first shared the story in a viral Facebook post last year…
The story and photo have gone viral again online after being shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, by the account Call to Activism.”
She’s really milking it. If it ever happened at all.
A man spoke to her in a public place.
The horror, the horror.
It’s as if men are a lower caste who dare not speak to their betters without invitation.
So Islam is right about women?
Well, what did it say about Jews?
“Author Rachel Wilson wrote, “Feminism has created mass hysteria that men are nothing but violent assault machines, and that the only thing stopping them from enslaving the entire female sex is feminist activism and laws. It’s insanity and it must stop. Women’s studies departments should be shut down.””
Where’s the money in that? The VAWA is up to what, around $6B a year?
“But some said the negative reaction from “angry men” just proved the point.
“Men in the quotes giving us great examples of why the employees stepped in,” one said. “Y’all are not entitled to speak to women simply because you think you can or perceive yourself as no harm.””
Ah yes, the time honored “men in my mentions” technique.
Now do panhandlers.
‘Angry men.’
He probably violated Tom Brady’s Rules.
Poor flounder. To love is to suffer…

That’s cartoon frog green.
But if she wore clothes those mean old men wouldn’t want to talk to her and she couldn’t post TikToks complaining that they watch her so that she gets lots of attention!
Narcissism is rampant.
No, she could the get into the “Men don’t talk to women in the gym anymore. [sadface]” grift. (See the first story. It’s just a loop.)
Yep, aside from the fish, this set of links was worse than the noon post.
A zip up sports bra? There is only one “sport” for that.

“A man came up to her and started talking to her.”
Clearly no need to go into any details of why this interaction caused concern.
No need to because it didn’t happen and was contrived and written by whoever posted that silly Karen nonsense.
‘Do you want us to intervene?”
God forbid that poor terrified little flower should experience human interaction.
Gross reaction to woman’s viral gym bra fail: ‘Wear clothes’
Fucking influencer *wanted* it to happen for the attention.
And imagine if a man had a wardrobe “malfunction” that showed off his large erection.
He’d have to put his dress back on really quickly, that’s for sure.
It was such a terrible embarrassment she had to post it for the world to see and comment on.
A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.”
How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!
Side note: She felt safe and did not remove the lid, but let them know.
Why do I smell bullshit?
1) Name of account poster: CALL TO ACTIVISM
2) “This gave me goosebumps.”
3) Too fucking lazy to make up a single pertinent detail about why anyone would be concerned by a man talking to a woman.
4) How is a Starbucks barista gonna “intervene”? Coffee more burnt tasting than usual?
.
Re 3, loud and animated, apparently, so possible creep or weirdo.
Or maybe just too much coffee.
Too much Starbucks coffee? He may be eligible for a compensation.
4) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RzeQP1_j6U
Now I’m wondering how often Starbucks gets robbed. Lots of cash on site, plus lots of expensive laptops and phones. And zero possibility of effective resistance.
I doubt they have much cash. It has moved to a mostly frictionless business model.
This is how it is.
Why do I smell bullshit?
Because Starbucks coffee smells like bullshit?
I’m keeping our tradition of not linking directly to The Chive, but they had a gallery about “influencers” today. These people posting about how it’s amazing nobody in public knows who they are, or complaining because they’re in the middle of the street for a photo shoot and people want to use the street. Just as insufferable as bra girl.
Not even love can save us. Love is not real. Nor is hate. Only indifference exists.
Whatever.
Meh.
I’d argue with you if I cared.
Borrrrring.
Despite the clasp being fully closed, the top bursts open as Thompson gets ready to lift weight using a machine, prompting her to clasp her chest.
Huh. It’s open at the beginning of the video. Staged.
She zipped it up at the end. It did not “burst open”, it came unzipped. Or she unzipped it.
Mae Mordabito: [During the league’s publicity drive] What if at a key moment in the game my, my uniform bursts open and, uh, oops, my bosoms come flying out? That, that might draw a crowd, right?
Doris Murphy: You think there are men in this country who ain’t seen your bosoms?
Gym thots are tedious. I preferred the hot moms.
And yes. That is one cool motherfucker.

Re: ugly fish.
I was in St. Simons last week, hoping to catch some bull redfish as they came to the estuary to spawn. Alas, the reds were nowhere to be found, but I hooked an oyster toadfish. That’s one ugly sumbitch — though they’re supposedly delicious if you have the patience to filet one. The teeth on that thing (plus a venomous barb on its first dorsal fin) makes it a “just grab the hook with some pliers and shake the thing off” fish.
That’s definitely in the “someone must have been damned hungry” category, yeah.

57. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt on that one because he was talking about primaries, which might number 57 when you include Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands, DC, Samoa, superdelegates, etc.

“BREAKING: Twitter user Douglass Mackey sentenced to 7 months in prison after being found guilty of election interference for making memes disparaging Hillary Clinton
There was no evidence to suggest that any voter attempted to cast their ballot via text in response to Mackey’s meme.
“Tomorrow at 1130am,” said one supporter, “Doug Mackey will be sentenced in an NYC courtroom on a sham “conspiracy” conviction for sharing an anti-Hillary meme, all thanks to a bunch of lies and half-truths spewed by a morbidly obese fed informant who goes by the name Microchip.”
The meme that Mackey was convicted of disseminating was directed at Hillary Clinton voters, but other memes, also instructing people to vote for president via text, were distributed by social media users telling people to cast their vote for Trump via text. Mackey was convicted while no one else was even charged.”

The ever-present threat of neo-Nazi terror
Groups linked to Al Qaeda and American neo-Nazis have been seeking to exploit the ongoing war to encourage attacks, according to two separate intelligence products obtained by NBC News.
“You must attack them in their homes, shops, posts and places of amusement … Tear their bodies apart, let their blood flow and take revenge for your martyrs,” said one Al Qaeda post quoted in an intelligence bulletin by the New York Police Department, which has maintained a global intelligence network since 9/11.
The Al Qaeda branch in the Indian subcontinent, known as AQIS, is calling for attacks on Americans, British and French nationals, the bulletin said, while another Al Qaeda-aligned propagandist issued an online call for attacks using silencers, explosives and knives.
A Homeland Security official told NBC News that the DHS is monitoring a “heightened threat environment” in the United States and is concerned about attacks on Jewish-Americans, as well as Arab-Americans and Muslim-Americans.
“The intensity has gotten worse,” the official said, noting that DHS, the FBI and the National Counterterrorism Center are “constantly monitoring the threat environment,” including online chatter.
——-
The Institute for Strategic Dialogue also found that U.S.-based neo-Nazis had appropriated the language of Hamas and have been using the conflict in an effort to inspire attacks in the U.S. and on Jewish communities globally. The neo-Nazi accounts are spreading official terrorist content linked to the Qassem Brigades on Telegram, while also linking to “Resistance Axis” groups on the platform.
Several members of extremist groups in the United States and Canada — including members of the Proud Boys — have posted on Telegram expressing a desire to kill or harm Jewish people, according to Advance Democracy, which studies far-right rhetoric online.

People who can actually grow plants without killing them –
Today when I watered the pot where my lavendar seeds are germinating and something gray on the surface puffed out a cloud that looked like smoke but which was most likely spores. I can’t help but suspect I have a mold/fungus that has taken root in the peat meant to grow the lavender in.
I don’t know what type of invasive fungi it is, but I am looking for advice on how to get rid of it and not hurt my lavender seeds/seedlings.
First off, you are over-watering your seedlings. There is no wind indoors.
If they already have true leaves, I would transplant them into new soil, and put them in a different room.
Back in the old room, throw away the old soil, wash down everything with something that kills mold, and set up an air filter.
Nothing green has broken the surface.
I don’t have the option of alternate rooms, It’s at the office in my cube.
And there is no way I’m over-watering given that it’s once a week and maybe half a shot glass of liquid.
It was wet enough to grow mold. If they haven’t germinated, then I would just start over. I would use peat moss or jiffy pots.
It was peat.
So, is there a fungicide that won’t kill lavender?
You don’t have lavender yet. Although you might have seeds that are already dead. There are fungicides that won’t kill green plants, but this isn’t a fungus on a plant. It’s a mycelium in the peat. That’s very hard to kill.
something gray on the surface puffed out a cloud that looked like smoke but which was most likely spores.
It’s been nice knowing you.
A week from now, he will climb the tallest building he can find, lie down in top in the sun, and his stomach will burst and release a puff of grey smoke.

Why it’s impossible for right-wing governments to handle a crisis
***
President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously said, “Better the occasional faults of a government that lives in a spirit of charity than the consistent omissions of a government frozen in the ice of its own indifference” and Democratic administrations have taken it to heart ever since that 1933 speech.
When Democrats have control of Congress and the White House they pass all sorts of legislation to advance the public good, aid workers, care for the poor and disabled, strengthen public education, and provide for the needs of ordinary people. Occasionally they overreach or their programs don’t work or even backfire; they then fix them or try something different.
When rightwingers run our government, though, they pass laws like Taft-Hartley that gutted union rights, rip up voting rights, make it easier for fossil fuel companies to pollute and timber companies to clear-cut, and dial back people’s access to welfare and healthcare programs. And, of course, start wars (Grenada, Iraq/Kuwait, Afghanistan, Iraq) and pass tax cuts for their billionaire patrons.
Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Clinton, Obama, and Biden all proposed and put into law sweeping programs to build America and enhance the public good ranging from Social Security, the right to unionize, the minimum wage, Medicare, food stamps, Medicaid and greater funding for education.
Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Bush, and Trump all went for tax cuts for billionaires and worked to gut or privatize the agencies, infrastructure, and programs Democrats had set up.
There’s a reason for this.
— Leftwing governments believe in democracy, and so try to accomplish what’s best for the majority of people while protecting the rights of the minority; rightwing governments practice autocracy on behalf of the morbidly rich. Sometimes, like the old USSR or modern Venezuela, repressive and authoritarian rightwing governments pretend to be left-wing, but the police state aspects of their governance give the game away.
— Rightwingers don’t see democracy as a benefit or even an ideal; they see it as an impediment to further comforting the already-comfortable while enriching themselves in the process. Instead of building up disaster preparedness through strengthening, for example, FEMA, they work to redirect those government dollars back to their friends through things like $600 billion a year in oil industry subsidies and over $20 trillion (cumulatively) in Republican tax cuts to billionaires since 1981.
…
Rightwing governments rarely put the good of the people of a nation first; instead, it’s axiomatic that they achieve and wield power by scapegoating minority groups — usually racial or religious — and suppressing both voting rights and the rights of women to full participation in society.
While there have been a few self-declared left-wing authoritarian kleptocracies in history (most notably the USSR), the vast majority have been rightwing in their origin and nature. And, over time as their corruption becomes evident, their citizens grow to hate them.

Dinner was delicious. Had meatloaf, then an Alec Bradley Lineage cigar and a vodka martini with a garlic stuffed olive. Now back to folding laundry.
When I gained a washer & dryer recently, I forgot I had to fold the clothes myself. Ugh.
IT NEVER STOPS…
Dafuq folding clothes.
Have giant drawers you throw your all-matching socks and your underwear into. Fuck folding panties and bras and socks, man. Nope.
You are the anti-wife.
I threw away all of my socks except for one style, which I then bought plenty of. I don’t tie or fold them in pairs. I lay them on top of each other in a couple of piles in the drawer and just peel 2 off the stack each day.
For undies, I fold in half and stack. Same for bras.
Getting rid of every article of clothing that irked me in some way or another was very liberating.
Racist
A reporter of Chinese descent is speaking out, weeks after Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen dismissed her article on his company, Pillen Family Farms, because “the author is from Communist China.”
Yanqi Xu, 27, who is an immigrant from China and reports for the independent outlet Flatwater Free Press, told NBC News that Pillen’s comments were a form of “bias.” Pillen, a Republican, had made the remarks on Omaha radio station KFAB in September, after he was asked to respond to her article that found high levels of nitrate on his hog farms.
“Number 1, I didn’t read it. And I won’t,” Pillen said on the air about Xu’s article. “Number 2, all you got to do is look at the author. The author is from Communist China. What more do you need to know?”
This week — with Xu’s blessing and after consulting with immigration lawyers to ensure her visa status wouldn’t be compromised — Matt Wynn, executive director of the Nebraska Journalism Trust, which launched the Flatwater Free Press, published a column in her defense.
“Yanqi has been in the United States since 2017. … This, she said, is the first time anyone has written her off based on her origin. And it was broadcast, over the air, by the governor of Nebraska,” Wynn wrote. “As an employer, that infuriates me. As a believer in democracy and a free press, it saddens me. As a Nebraskan, it embarrasses me.”
Shocking.
What does it have to do with “democracy”?
Democracy is a synonym for all the good things right-thinking people believe in. Diversity is one of those things.
A Yanqi from China? What will they think of next?
