iPhone users still freaked out by Amber Alerts; toddler in Flint, MI found

Back in January, Twitchy noted that iPhone users were flooding Twitter with complaints and concerns about Amber Alerts:

iPhone users with the iOS 6 operating system received the message. Many Twitter users were awoken by the loud sound; a disturbing number of iPhone owners didn’t know what the nationwide warnings of abducted/missing children even were. Even more were unaware that their iPhones carried the alerts. For the ignorant: The messages are part of a new national cell phone emergency alert system “relying on Broadcast SMS to push notifications to smartphones for weather threats, Amber alerts and Presidential alerts. The system went live in New York City at the end of 2011, and should be live in most of the United States.”

Well, it happened again tonight.

RT if you just got that Amber alert. #WTF

O-Bam! Stacey Dash blasts Obama with single snark-word [video]

http://twitter.com/#!/Wellfonder/status/428567604995710976

As Twitchy readers know, actress Stacey Dash is still on receiving end of vicious hate and demise desires. The reason why? mainly because she actually is a Republican. That doesn’t suit the oh-so-tolerant Left.

Ms. Dash isn’t cowed and continues to talk truth.

http://twitter.com/#!/REALStaceyDash/status/430542486571069440

O-Bam! We come across everything you performed here, Ms. Dash! The @BarackObama Twitter account incessantly tweets away lies aided by the term “FACT” before all of them, as if which makes the lies real. Nailing with one well-placed snark word? Achieved!

Ms. Dash in addition weighed in on what she agrees had been best elements of Sunday night’s Super Bowl.

http://twitter.com/#!/REALStaceyDash/status/430148909642825728

Amen.

http://twitter.com/#!/smiles813/status/429044738528772097

Hold speaking genuine truth to energy, Ms. Dash.

Relevant:

‘Like pajama-clad pantywaists?’ REALITY! These replies to @BarackObama tend to be full of win

FACT! Mary Katharine Ham has slogan for President Pants unstoppable and lying liar Jarrett

Lesson not learned: Obama utilizing ‘FACT’ once again; people respond with truth

Reality to power: people turn Obama’s Romney ‘fact’ untrue narratives into pesky information about Obama

Clubhouse Cancer: Baseball fans bash Josh Beckett

http://twitter.com/#!/AnthonySabatin0/status/200962420095725569

Boston Red Sox star pitcher Josh Beckett is at the center of another baseball controversy. Just one day after the team announced the right-hander would miss a game due to a strained latissimus muscle, he was seen playing a game of golf as if he had never been injured at all.

To make matters worse Beckett continues to deny seeing anything wrong with his actions. When asked about it he became arrogant and refused to apologize.

“We get 18 off days a year,” Beckett said. “I think we deserve a little time to ourselves.

“I’ll spend my off days how I want to spend them.”

Fans were not at all pleased with Beckett’s attitude.

Not sure what Josh Beckett doesnt get. You make millions, when you are hurt you dont golf. Couldn't say I dont care louder if he screamed it

— Cameron Ginder (@cdginder2) May 11, 2012

Beckett doesn't seem to understand that the issue isn't just golf. It's playing golf while you're "hurt" enough to miss a start. Dope.

— Mike McMahon (@MikeMcMahonCHN) May 11, 2012

Beckett clearly doesn't get it!! If u r too injured to pitch and help ur team u have no business on a golf course!! #truth

— Lori (@lomartin33) May 11, 2012

Really Josh Beckett? What a typical #RedSox player

— Gage Fairleigh (@GageFair) May 11, 2012

Josh Beckett's remarks shows what is wrong with the #RedSox right now. No accountability. No discipline.

— the Don (@DonnieBeezer) May 11, 2012

Josh Beckett playing golf doesn't just "look bad". It IS bad. tells us he wasn't hurt, or doesn't care if he got hurt worse.

— Bob Halloran (@BobWCVB) May 11, 2012

Is it really news any more that Josh Beckett is a dumbass?

— Fake Craig Counsell (@craigcounsell) May 11, 2012

Josh Beckett says he only gets 18 off days a year. Apparently he is not aware of this "offseason" thing that most jobs don't have #redsox

— Dan Ivers (@DanIversNJ) May 11, 2012

Everytime someone plays hooky from work to play golf & then messes up beyond belief it will be referred to as pulling a Josh Beckett. #MLB

Wait for it! Charles C.W. Cooke predicts lefty reaction to Seattle minimum wage BACKFIRE

The city of Seattle recently decided to establish a $15-per-hour minimum wage to be implemented over time. The wage hasn’t yet reached that level and there are already problems:

Her Dogs Were Barking At Something In The Yard When A Grizzly Jumped Onto Her Fence

Nine times out of 10, if I hear a dog barking, I usually ignore it.

Not all canines are cut out to be guard dogs, so when my dog would start barking, it usually meant there was either a squirrel nearby or he saw his own reflection in a window.

This unsuspecting woman didn’t think twice when her two pooches started going crazy in the backyard. Nothing more than a little woodland creature, she thought…until the beast revealed itself to be a full-grown grizzly bear. But you’ll never guess what happens next.

If these dogs can scare away a grizzly bear with just their bark, I’d sure hate to see their bites. (Just kidding. I’m sure they’re sweeties.)

Step Inside Any Of These 25 Places… If You Have The Guts. They’re Fascinating Nightmares.

Each day we are distracted by our own lives, too busy to notice what is going on around us. However, most people aren’t disturbed by the chaos. Instead, we only feel fear when there is utter, terrible silence. Stillness is unnerving, not chaos. That’s probably why abandoned buildings, former hotspots of humanity, are so intriguing. It’s addictive to think about the lives that passed through these doors, only to eventually move on and forget.

1.) Reflections at an abandoned institution.

2.) A bus being silently overcome by Mother Nature.

3.) This quiet old mill, nestled in the Bavarian Forest in Germany.

4.) Sand dunes that have overtaken houses in Southern Namibia, Africa.

5.) A cold and desolate mine in Wales.

6.) Santa Maria della Pietà, Abruzzo Italy.

7.) A chilling ghost town in Megargel, Texas.

8.) A fairy door, tucked away in Calcata, Italy.

9.) The stern and haunting School for Girls in New York.

10.) The abandoned Chamber of Commerce in Belgium.

11.) The beautiful and isolated Bokor Mountain church in Cambodia.

12.) This abandoned steel mill control room from Detroit, Michigan.

13.) The majestic Kilchurn castle in Loch Awe, Scotland.

14.) An abandoned Chevrolet truck, abandoned in the middle of a forest.

15.) St. Bonaventure Church in Philadelphia.

16.) This swiftly abandoned beach volleyball arena from the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.

17.) A beautiful stained glass window in Belgium, made more beautiful when humans left.

18.) An abandoned power plant’s control room.

19.) The eerie Buzludzha monument in Bulgaria, at the Balkan Mountains.

20.) Hotel Del Salto in San Antonio del Tequendama, Colombia.

21.) The Dunlewy Church ruins, overlooking the Poisoned Glen in Ireland.

22.) This bright, but strange, abandoned yellow house in Nova Scotia.

23.) A rusting schoolhouse, sitting abandoned in the countryside.

24.) The overgrown Nupstadur Farm in Iceland.

25.) An old Graphotype machine found in an abandoned hospital in California.

Life will pass all of us by in just a blink, but the legacies we build on this earth will stay behind us as a monument to our lives. That’s what each of these images are, a testament to what life used to be like for others. It’s something we can only dream about.

When You Realize The Truth About What’s In Space, You’ll Be Terrified.

“Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.” –Douglas Adams

What the brilliant Mr. Adams had to say about space (and the number 42) is absolutely true… most people just don’t realize it. You may think you know just how large our sun or our galaxy is, but when you see the comparisons to other heavenly bodies? 

Just make room for your jaw on the floor.

Space? It’s big.

Really, really, REALLY big.

Watching the video below will make you realize just how small and insignificant our SUN is, let alone Planet Earth:

(via YouTube / morn1415)

If you suddenly feel frightened and alone, you’re not the only one. Space is a huge place and we know very little about it (and can see very little of it). Just sit back, relax and know that you’re already aware of the most important things in your life. Share this mind-blowing video with others by clicking below.
