npr has had plenty of financial support from the left all along and never needed government funding.....pbs either.
Heck, every now and then they would even brag about it.

Getting a selfie is one way:

Or having an argument with your companion about driving in a wildlife preserve:

The girl in the top one might have escaped with bruises, but the bottom one...I doubt if the tiger in the one below would be deterred by a skinny Chinese guy running after it...

It is weird-we live in a culture now where people are imaged and videoed from the moment the crown of their head appears in the birth canal to their dying moment of expiration.
Nothing goes undocumented. It is a bit creepy to me, but...I am not wholly of this era, either.
There are people who barely see life except through the viewer of a phone camera.

I love those animated GIF files-I have thousands of them, I see them as little cultural snapshots of the world today! (I collect them, and have created a few myself...)

I’m not saying we should kill all the stupid people. I’m just saying we should remove all the warning labels and let things sort themselves out.

Yeah...poor guy charged after, then, sheepishly (I sure don’t blame him) back away a bit, from the preying tiger taking his gal/dinner. 😳

I thought of it before I got to that line in the article: it does seem like a disproportionate number of these stories come out of India

“The U.S. ranked second with 45 cases...”
And 44 of the cases were Asian tourists.

“”Last week, the Barber Law Firm released findings from its analysis of google news accounts of selfies that results in injury or death, beginning in March 2014 through May 2025.””
Glad to see that - I was going to ask if anyone was keeping track of these incidents...since they pop up now and then...For some - never again!
