news "Explosive diarrhea" inside plane makes pilot to turn back & land, "sprayed all over"
Psylocke posted a topic in The Lounge
A Delta passenger sprayed diarrhea everywhere aboard a midair flight, forcing the plane to turn around and go back to the airport to deal. The holy s**t moment occurred Friday as the Delta flight was headed to Barcelona, Spain after taking off from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia. While the jet was over Virginia, the passenger's gastrointestinal issues exploded out in the open ... giving everyone on board a front-row seat to the disgusting aftermath. The flight captain radioed Air Traffic Control to report the incident and he seemed pretty calm under the circumstances. You can hear him on the recording say, "It's just a biohazard issue, we had a passenger who had diarrhea all the way through the airplane so they want us to come back to Atlanta." People on the flight were horrified and complained about it on social media. One person wrote, "My partner was on that flight! It was pretty bad. It was dribbled down the aisle, smelled horrible." Another said, "The vanilla scented disinfectant used on it only made it smell like vanilla s***." A third called it "a mess," but praised the pilot for making the right decision to turn back around and land. Delta issued a statement, "Our teams worked as quickly and safely as possible to thoroughly clean the airplane and get our customers to their final destination." No word yet on the condition of the passenger. Source and audio of the pilot here! -

This year I been to 2 concerts. Saw Charlie Puth at a 6k amphitheater in May. The traffic was limited the seating was spacious and u could actually hear him speak. It only took 5 mins to get in and out. Tonight I saw the Jonas Brothers at a 40k stadium. It took forever to get there. Lines for drinks were long there was so many people. Tbh the crowd was so loud O could not even hear them speak. And it took 2 hrs to leave the venue. In my opinion I had so much of a more fun time seeing Charlie even tho he's not a better performer but I just think small venues are WAYYY better. Thoughts?

news Spain's football chief to quit for forcibly kissing female player + other misbehavior
Talento posted a topic in The Lounge
Spanish football federation (RFEF) president Luis Rubiales plans to resign Friday after FIFA opened disciplinary proceedings against him over his unsolicited kiss of player Jenni Hermoso, sources have confirmed to ESPN's Rodrigo Faez. Rubiales' position had grown increasingly untenable since his behaviour after Spain won the World Cup by beating England in the final in Sydney this past Sunday. The kiss forced on the lips of Hermoso has garnered most of the headlines, but he was also seen effusively hugging other Spain players and kissing them on the cheek. Before that, immediately after Spain's victory, he had also grabbed his crotch in a victory gesture with 16-year-old Princess Infanta Sofía and Queen Letizia of Spain standing nearby. Rubiales' immediate response was to label those criticising his behaviour as "idiots," although as the backlash grew, he later published an apology. The incident sparked outrage within and outside Spain, with many, including government ministers, demanding his resignation. Spain's acting prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, said the apology was "insufficient and inadequate" as the pressure began to mount on Rubiales to step down from his role. Meanwhile, the acting second deputy prime minister, Yolanda Díaz, called for Rubiales to "resign" from his post after his actions. High-ranking figures across the government and Spanish sport expressed similar opinions. Irene Montero, the minister for equality, described it as a "form of sexual violence," with clubs also weighing in on the situation. Pressure continued to mount during the week after FIFA opened disciplinary proceedings against Rubiales and after Hermoso, in a joint statement with her union, said that such acts "should never go unpunished." Lower-league side Sant Andreu were the first to demand Rubiales' resignation via a statement, while Ángel Torres, president of LaLiga side Getafe, condemned his "deplorable behaviour" and said he should not remain as the RFEF president "for even a minute more." Internationally, Rubiales' behaviour was condemned by United States forward Megan Rapinoe, who said the incident shows a "deep level of misogyny and sexism in that federation and in that man." There have also been complaints, from his uncle and the former director of his cabinet, that he used RFEF money to organise sex parties, and an investigation is ongoing into allegations that he used federation cash to take a woman on a trip to New York. Last September, the RFEF was at the centre of a crisis when 15 players from the women's national team said that, because of the federation's lack of support and issues relating to the coaching team, they did not feel comfortable playing for Spain. Rubiales' response was to back the coach, Jorge Vilda, with the dispute disrupting Spain's preparation for the World Cup. In the end, three of the 15 returned for the tournament after certain changes were made, seven refused to do so and five were not selected. https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/38252085/spain-chief-rubiales-quit-hermoso-kiss-scandal-reports -

X This video (with subtitles) explains the entire situation : The recent surge in anti-LGBTQ rhetoric there is so disgusting and transparent. It is so clearly being pushed by political leaders/stakeholders to divert the public's attention from the ongoing economic crisis and they keep using the LGBTQ+ community as their new scapegoat for their sick propaganda -

Judges had previously ruled in 2019 that homophobic hate speech is a crime equivalent to racism, but earlier decisions pertained to the LGBTQ+ community as a whole rather than attacks on specific individuals. https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/08/24/brazil-high-court-supreme-court-homophobia/ -
