    Watching that United Health Care CEO Brian whoever getting shot like a professional hit was so delicious. The unidentified shooter walking up and immediately taking him down without pause for all the evil shit he wrought upon people for insurance they pay for was wondrous.

    Muammar Gaddafi was dragged out of a drainage ditch by Misrata militia members, partially stripped, and repeatedly stabbed in the ass with something sharp (it’s tough to tell from the video, but it’s some kind of stick or knife). They then chucked him onto the back of a truck, but he fell off onto the ground as they pulled away. They then stuck him into an ambulance. He was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later.

      Leaving morality to one side for a second, I just want to say Gaddafi was the GOAT dictator though

    Thomas Midgley Jr. has been named a “one-man environmental disaster” for two big reasons. He was one of the early pioneers of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) – compounds that became widely used in industry – and which were destroying the ozone layer. He also invented leaded gasoline and insisted that it was safe to use.

    In 1940, at the age of 51, Midgley contracted polio and was left severely disabled. He devised an elaborate system of ropes and pulleys to lift himself out of bed. On November 2, 1944, at the age of 55, he was found dead at his home in Worthington, Ohio. He had been killed by his own device after he became entangled in it and died of strangulation.
