When another poster asked, “Isn’t it possible that this was a deliberate terrorist attack rather than a tragic accident?,” Simon retorted, “It’s possible that you’re a useless shitheel rando on an internet hellsite speculating wildly and without regard to what is already known by authorities in Baltimore. Quick, have someone fund your podcast. You’ll go far.”
To a poster who called Baltimore a “mismanaged, failed state,” Simon offered a well-worded correction: “The port is a state-run entity and nothing whatsoever to do with Baltimore municipal government, you absolute submoron.”
To Anthony Sabatini, the former Florida congressman who wrote “DEI did this” – referring to diversity, equity and inclusion – Simon took no prisoners. “Your mother did you, but after a hard life of service on a truck-stop lot, can we really hold her loosened, battered womb responsible for dropping you head-first on the Winnebago floor and burdening our society with another empty, racist demagogue thereafter? We cannot.”
If this is indicative of The Wire, I should watch it.
Sheeeeeeeit. You should definitely watch it.
Idris Elba started out on it. As did Dominic West (Prince Charles in The Crown), and Aidan Gillen (Littlefinger in Game of Thrones). And Michael Kenneth Williams had some choice parts, he was always great.
Don’t forget Michael B. Jordan baby facing it up in the first season
Where Wallace at, yo?
“This…. Is bullshit.” RIP Lance Reddick
Yes. Yes you should. It is a very realistic portrayal of crime, politics, and the police in Baltimore.
Not just Baltimore. It represents most major American cities and their institutions.

Dude! The Wire is the one of the best shows ever created! Watch on Max, rent DVDs from the library, or just do some normal piracy. You owe yourself a watch of The Wire.
Absolutely brilliant show. And yes, this is indicative of The Wire. 😅
Damn that’s savage.
Holy shit man, that guy rips! I almost want to go piss him off to get my own!
Fucking savage.
And I’m gonna binge-watch the wire again.
Literally
Goddamn. Glorious.
I…I would like to wed this man.
I wish I had a mastery of the English language even half as good as this man. There’s fucking POETRY in this!
How is it that we’ve created a society where scientists are subordinate to lying narcissists and psychopaths?
And corporations, because of the money. These aspects impact choice of research directions and results so much that I feel like rectifying them would be enough to start a new scientific revolution.
It is high time that we rid ourselves of these carnival barkers.
The captain of the ship was Captain Ray Turner… That’s right, C.R.T. You can’t make this shit up.
I mean I made it up, but you can’t.
I’m still gonna try
Didn’t you get the memo? CRT is the old racist dogwhistle. Now they’re going after DEI: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Weird that you say that, because I didn’t even make the connection - the ship’s doctor… Dr. Erica Ingold. D.E.I.
I wish I was joking, dude… And oh, look? My wish came true!
Dang, adding that one to the arsenal.
This dude dropped some seriously well worded “your mama” jokes on some xitheads … damn he’s my hero.
Anthony Sabatini got murdered. Condolences to his truck stop mother.
A woman dedicated to her craft 🫡
I don’t think anyone would ever own up to creating Greene, she must be an accident. Like when a man jerks off in a cinema and a woman sits on the seat after.
Go on…
David Simon goes hard and I wish he’d do it more often.
Got 'em
I assume Madge blames the Jewish space lasers again.
Excuse me, it’s the Jewish navy and their stealth submarines powered by radioactive gold. They’re coming for our freedumb, and our kids.
No one really knows the whole story. But there are factors that lean into the side of conspiracy. Several redundant systems would need to have coincidentally failed in order for the ship to steer and stay off-course the way it did. All this in the backdrop of food plants blowing up, the Biden administration blowing up Nordstream, it’s not hard to be skeptical in such times.
Do the world a favor, go live in a cave and make sure to close off all entrances.
Sage advice, brother. Clearly they’re going to release another bio-weapon, crash the world economy, and trigger riots throughout the country. While all this is going on, nuclear war will start in the middle east, and from there spread all over the world. China and Russia will team up and try to take over a weakened United States.
Things are about to get real, for sure, but hiding only works very short term. I think the only way forward, after the initial attacks, is to link up with other like-minded people that share your values, and care for one another more than themselves. Even Mark Zuckerberg with his $100M bunker in Hawaii (with a submarine escape hatch) won’t stand a chance. It’s all delusion to think we’re going to survive what’s coming on material preparation alone.
You’re totally right though. We need to get out of the cities (they’re going to be death traps) and get as much storable food as you can.
Several things need to happen or fail in EVERY accident. Every car accident is a mix of multiple factors at once; weather, driver inattentiveness, other traffic or obstacles, etc. It doesn’t mean every car accident or plane or boat crash is a conspiracy.
Believe the true conspiracies. Disbelieve the false ones.
Several redundant systems would need to have coincidentally failed
Jeez, it just shows you have no fucking clue. Main engine problems happen regularly with a big enough fleet of vessels. Meaning, it doesn’t happen often, but with hundreds of vessels it happens often enough.
If you’d just have investigated the assumption how often main engines have issues you’d see this Google result: https://issuu.com/marinetrust/docs/w71/s/12145703
Meaning, it happens often.
Secondly, that “several redundant systems”. Wtf are you talking about here? A spare backup main engine?!?
You’re assuming.
Why are these people so eager to push one story or another?
The sane thing to do is to discuss the options.
Except there was literally a mayday call from the ship saying that they lost power and could not steer… So… That’s the only option worth descussing because that’s what happened. MJT or anybody else suggestion it was intentional is indeed a submoronic pirfall of a human being.
You guys really get into the whole persecution angle.
