Boris Johnson, World Contender to-date for Most Stupid Comment of The Year.

India Today: Putin would not have embarked on Ukraine war if he were a woman: British PM Boris Johnson.

Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have embarked on a “crazy, macho war” against Ukraine if he were a woman, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.

In an interview with the German media at the end of the G7 Summit in Schloss Elmau this week, Johnson pointed to Putin’s machismo as a contributory factor in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

“If Putin was a woman, which he obviously isn’t, if he were, I really don’t think he would have embarked on a crazy, macho war of invasion and violence in the way that he has,” Johnson told broadcaster ZDF.

"Boris is assigning gender identity based on appearance! REEEEE! What he said is typical of the patriarchal sexist heteronormative gender-intolerance! REEEEE! He's saying women can't wage war! REEEEE!"

 

“If Putin was a woman, which he obviously isn’t..." - Brilliant observation Cap'N Obvious.

David Hogg Survives #TargetApocalypse

C|NET: Target down (then back up) as cash registers fail and leave long lines.

Target's payment systems appeared to be missing the mark the day before Father's Day, as terminals went AWOL for a couple of hours in a number of the company's US retail outlets. The outage caused long lines but prompted an encouraging show of sympathy for Target employees from people on Twitter. And there were some jokes too, of course.

"We're aware that guests are currently unable to make purchases at Target stores," the company said in its own tweet Saturday morning. "Our teams are troubleshooting now and we apologize for the inconvenience. We will provide an update as soon as possible."

Then on Saturday afternoon, a Target spokeswoman said registers were "fully back online" and that the outage was caused by an "internal technology issue."

"After an initial but thorough review, we can confirm that this was not a data breach or security-related issue, and no guest information was compromised at any time," the spokeswoman said in a statement.

 "I was home watching reruns of 'Saved By The Bell' when I heard the news Target cash registers crashed. I got on my bike, rode to the nearest Target store and immediately rendered aid to traumatized shoppers. They were standing in long lines. They couldn't check-out. It was chaos. Madness! We need  more common-sense cash register laws!"

In a matter of a few hours, Target determined it was not a data-breach or security-related issue. In a few hours?

We know who did this...
