Local Baltimore News Exposes Kids for Breaking into a Public Pool and Swimming, But Everyone Has Their Backs
It would be stranger if there weren’t kids sneaking into the pool.

On Tuesday, Baltimore news radio WBAL filmed and reported on multiple children who broke into and swam in a closed public pool. “Several children were caught breaking into one of the many Baltimore City pools that remain closed with their gates chained,” they tweeted.

The tweet was framed to make the kids look like criminals, but the rest of Twitter quickly rose to their defense. “So we’re supposed to think the problem is kids swimming in a pool, and not cities defunding kids’ summer activities and lifeguards and enrichment?” @JoshuaPHilll argued.
Public backlash against the report was so strong, that WBAL quickly posted another tweet clarifying their position.
We are upset that kids have to go through such lengths to go for a swim.

The tweet came just a day after multiple outlets reported on the extended closure of many public pools in Baltimore throughout the summer months. “It hasn’t been open all summer,” one local resident told CBS News. “I moved here before the summer so I thought they were working on it and preparing it for the summer, but there’s been no updates.”
@RGSahawneh was happy to point out how WBAL could better hone their judgment: “Closing pools while harassing kids with helicopters? Yeah, that’s definitely newsworthy. Kids wanting to go swimming in an abnormally hot summer, is not.”
In the end then, it was really the news station that needed to cool down.
Car Detailer Calls BS on Tesla’s Alleged Stain-Resistant White Seats
"This seat would be stained red almost instantly."
Published 1 year ago in Funny
Just like its CEO, Tesla loves using its Twitter account to sing its own praises. That, however, means that every post is met with hoards of real people exposing its lies and half-truths in the comments — also just like the replies to its CEO’s account.
Case in point: Yesterday, Tesla shared a video to promote its stain-resistant white seats by pouring red wine all over them. But while the video shows someone easily wiping away the mess with paper towels, a real-life car detailer called BS. “I’ve detailed these cars before,” @TheWapplehouse tweeted, “and the only way this video is real is if they’ve put multiple layers of hydrophobic protectant on the seat first.”
Absolute bullshit. I’ve detailed these cars before and the only way this video is real is if they’ve put multiple layers of hydrophobic protectant on the seat first. The white stitching is made of thread and would not just return to white by absorbing it with a napkin. https://t.co/83dMQr5jmT

This seat would be stained red almost instantly and you’d likely scrub the dye off the material before getting the wine completely out

Meanwhile, other viewers took the video as an invitation to critique Tesla’s interiors overall. “The entire car feels cheap,” @MamboFloof commented. “You are paying for the name like it’s a luxury brand, when in fact you are buying what’s essentially an Electric Mitsubishi.”
The standard interiors are soooo incredibly cheap feeling. I’ve had get denim blue off multiple driver’s seats.

I don’t think they drive badly for the most part. The interior materials are just dogshit tho.

Then there were the commenters who just wanted to know why Tesla thought a bottle of red wine was the best choice for its demonstration. “Thank goodness,” @b01dface tweeted sarcastically. “I can’t drive ANYWHERE without spilling a glass of wine.”
No word on how well the stain-resistant seats handle blood in the driverless Tesla models.
This is also stain resistant. pic.twitter.com/mypnPug124
