VIDEO: A meteor (or something) just landed in Detroit/Windsor area a few minutes ago, seeing reports that it shook houses. (?: IG/moorethrottle) pic.twitter.com/q8XSCG9JVr

Bring on the meteor open thread

I’m honestly surprised it took this long for Russia Insider to go full Golovinski. (From appropriately-horrified Russia Twitter).

Pity it didn’t hit DC. I can think of one occupant, in a house colored sort of white-ish, who – unlike the denizens Detroit – actually deserved to be hit by that meteor.

Until I clicked on that link, I thought Russian Insider was another nickname for Traitor Donald.

Edited to Add: And now, having read a little of it, I really wish I hadn’t clicked on that link. Ewww.

Any word from NASA on it?

The International Space Station may have gotten a look at it.

@JGabriel: Yeah, it’s what I was afraid it was. Come to think of it, wasn’t Russia the country that brought us the Protocols of the Elders of Zion?
Nothing like returning to the old standbys, huh? //

@planetjanet: Now that’s cool! It’s good to get some fun information these days.

@Scamp Dog: Hence the Golovinski reference.

@Butthurt Jordan Trombone (fka XTPD): I didn’t recognize the name–I had no idea we knew the name of the author. Now I know!

@Butthurt Jordan Trombone (fka XTPD): Thanks, now I have to sanitize my browser.

A link like that really needs more than an insidery joke. That is definitely NSFW. There needs to be a NSFW/racism/antisemitism acronym. Because I’ll click on plain old NSFW.

Here I’m all ready with a clever remark about Orson Welles and Grovers Corners, and the thread’s completely ignoring the meteor.

@JGabriel: ugh. Why? The worst part wasn’t the trite anti-Semitism: it was the awful abuse of commas.

Fuck this link. Not “fuck you,” because that’s too easy and I still have a little bit of hope for you based on past comments here. That’s a flat-out anti-Semitic, Elders-of-Zion, nasty-ass piece of shit. IF you’re going to link to that kind of deeply evil, harmful garbage, you need to say so up front. I’m a Jew. My husband is a Jew. My kid is a Jew. Many BJers are Jews. These Russia Insider motherfuckers want us to die horrible deaths because we’re Jews. I rely on YOU, my friend and fellow commenter, to understand that and to not give a free pass to provide (a) those genocidal bastards with the clicks and (b) me and my fellow Jew-humans with the deep-seated existential dread that results from knowing this horrifying evil is out there, and YOU THINK IT’S ALL JUST CLICKBAIT. Please, don’t use our existence and our status as a human beings just to gratify your ego and drag a few comment-thread responses on an almost-top-10,000 blog.
