I’m wondering if the organizers managed to buy insurance for the event. My thinking is probably, no.

The most heartbreaking part about this whole saga is that it may have forced a mediocre white tech dude to admit that he can’t do everything. I mean, can you imagine the pathos of that moment, when he realized that his misguided bravado and the penis swinging between his legs just weren’t enough anymore?

I can’t believe this guy thinks he’s going to have a next year. There isn’t going to be a next year.

I cannot get enough of this Fyre Festival Failure. Its SO funny to me. Keep the updates coming!

What is a 25 year old doing running a major event like this? I see this all the time when a company brings in some young overconfident kid who talks a big game, who went to a nice school, has the right connections and knows how to speak hipster. Almost every time they screw up so critically someone with experience has…

“We were a little naive”

(Stop me if I’ve already told this story) A good friend of mine who is a psychologist and I once had the idea to publish our own set of self-help books along the lines of the Demotivator posters:

I have nothing good to say about Jones but I hope his ex and kids are left alone by the media so they can begin to heal and move on.

If the world was fair, he would be followed for the rest of his days by people saying his kids weren’t real and were false flags.

Yeah my mom too. Her advice for my addiction? Just stop doing drugs! Jeez, thanks mom.

My wife has had serious depression for most of her life, and her mother said crap like that all the time. Sometimes one of us will tell the other “get over it” or “you should just snap out of it”. It’s usually good for a laugh.

I’m so sorry to hear that. Hugs and my condolences. It must be that much harder to bear knowing that there are a-holes out there like Baio spewing misconceptions about drug use.

Yeah and I’ve had friends die of an OD. A lot of times they’re using drugs for their undiagnosed and untreated mental illness. So knowing that makes it even more disgusting.

So he’s conditional with his heartbreak. Cancer yes drugs no. What a tool.

I remember when Dana Reeves died of lung cancer and it seemed like the media changed her name to “Dana Reeves, non smoker”. Like she’s even more dead because she died of lung cancer and never smoked.

“Oh, she died of a drug overdose? Well, that’s what happens when you’re too insecure and weak to resist drugs. Sorry not sorry, bye!. .... Oh wait, it was cancer? Oh man, that is so heartbreaking.”

I fly around 100 segments/year, mostly on Delta. When I have to take UAL or AA company protocol requires me, when I book, to notify my office of possible delays. UAL stranded me overnight 3 weeks ago.

Remember when you used to get special treatment when staff learned you were doing something neat like getting married, or going on your honeymoon?

Too many sold: You’re fucked

I was flying back from Chicago to Boston via Charlotte (cities may be a little off) when my father and I were bumped on our connecting flight leaving us stranded in Charlotte. The ticket agent was rude, and offered no help, even to the point of smiling and laughing at us and saying he couldn’t do anything but rebook…
