The 32 people on the vessel were rescued without injury, a U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson said. The yacht in question may have had a much lower passenger capacity.

    I never really understood the idea of the popular kids in high school. I wasn’t popular but wasn’t unpopular, just sorta a regular dude.

    I remember thinking how odd it was that people liked people simply because a lot of people liked that person. Or that those people felt like they were better than others because a lot of people liked them.

    Then I graduated and got into the real world and there were celebrities but beyond that there were no popular kids anymore. And celebrities were generally well known for some actual thing they could do exceptionally well, acting, singing, sports, etc.

    Then social media gave us influencers which are just popular kids for adults. People follow them because lots of people follow them and some of them are genuinely talented but a lot of them are just flexing with wealth (or pretending to) or just attractive.

    I remember being relieved that the “popular kids” was a thing people grew out of, and kinda appalled that we somehow engineered it back into adulthood.

    Waters there might have been too warm for their liking, but I’m wondering if killer whales might have otherwise enjoyed facilitating the process.

    Take your bets on how long until one of the idiots tries to monetize it. You just know that several of them began filming before taking any action to save themselves.

      I wonder if there’s any footage of any of them shoving the women and children out of the way to get on a lifeboat.
