    3 brothers drown in flooded basement

    According to the victims’ elder brother, Erwin, who serves as caretaker of the building, Marlo – who lives with him – went missing at around 1 p.m. Wednesday while fixing a chicken coop at the dry portion of the basement. Thinking that Marlo could have slipped into the water, Edwin went underwater but failed to surface. Erwin said he called up Arnulfo from Imus, Cavite, who also dived into the water upon arriving at the building past 6 p.m. He also did not surface.

    It was only then that Erwin and his mother, Editha, sought assistance from the police, who called up the BFP and the MMDA.


  • I frequented Something Awful Forums and Television Without Pity between 2000-08 and it’s interesting to see the contrast on the type of users that posted there.

    While SA was into a lot of racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic humor (that admittedly I found funny), TWoP’s “woke” (I mean that in a good way) outlook confused me at the time. Nowadays, TWoP is how the internet (well, mostly) conduct themselves and SA adopted that too over the years. I too find my SA antics (that I carried over to other forums and social media) shameful.

    That said, it’s no surprise that when the more recent Lowtax fiascos happened, he never received any sympathy from the forums and they quickly moved to oust him. Compared to when the first instances of his bad behavior bubbled up the surface (how his engagement with Emily ended) from 2002 wherein he got plenty of support. He even wrote a lengthy piece about it despite proclaiming his hatred for what he calls E/N.
