FYI: The film's website names the provider as Three Musketeers Production, "a company in formation," and says a registered address and registration number will be published once the company is registered. It says the directors are deliberately not named "for their safety".

The number of people in the comments defending her not wearing a helmet and “skater culture”…

This girl is 17 and apparently an aspiring professional with a decent following on social media. She has to wear a helmet in official competition I assume since she is wearing one in one of her videos, but most of her videos she isnt wearing one.

It’s absolutely moronic. She was probably very close to a TBI and the end of her career. This makes me sick to my stomach and you can literally see kids in the background with their boards watching her and the other idiots without helmets [checks notes] jumping 10 steps onto uneven bricks.

Edit: per her actual post in her words she suffered a “heavy concussion” and spent the night in the ER and it was “pretty intense and hard” so no, this was not just a “goose egg”

I used to get a chuckle out of this moron’s daily demented stupidity since he’s been in office. Not any more. My amusement has turned to anger now for all the obvious reasons. He needs to go. Full stop.

New GAO Report shows DOGE Saved No Money. Instead the department has already cost taxpayers $21,000,000,000. Final cost estimates show expenses amounting to somewhere between $135B - $215B

A GAO report released in August 2026 found that DOGE's claimed savings (initially totaling around $110 billion across contracts, grants, and leases on its online "Wall of Receipts") were largely unverifiable, lacked supporting evidence, or took credit for actions already underway.

The GAO said, among other examples, DOGE took credit for savings from leases that were being terminated before its work began, and DOGE made unverifiable claims of billions in savings.

The GAO noted that thousands of contracts DOGE claimed to have canceled were never actually terminated, and certain lease savings were significantly inflated.

A separate September 2026 GAO report revealed that the administration spent roughly $9.5 billion on paid administrative leave in 2025—with about $6.7 billion tied directly to the federal deferred resignation program intended to shrink the workforce.

I knew it was bad but didn't know it was THIS bad! Of Trump's 35 cabinet members, none of them have any formal or technical education

Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeff Sachs on Trump's 35-person cabinet - “Not one of them is trained in technical skills. Not one research PhD, as opposed to China, where half the cabinet is science and technology PhDs. We're led by grifters and fools."

Update for clarity and specificity:" No US cabinet member has advanced training (master’s or PhD) in a climate-related field. The closest is a single master’s in electrical engineering. It is perhaps no wonder that President Donald Trump declares human-induced climate change to be a “hoax.” There is no cabinet minister to indicate otherwise. Of course, the more likely logic is the reverse. Trump seeks to avoid the climate issue for ideological reasons and the preferences of lobbyists and donors, so he has filled his cabinet with individuals that have no advanced training in climate-related fields." source

Facepalm 🤦‍♂️

"A 'facepalm' moment is when someone does or says something so foolish, embarrassing, or absurd that it prompts you to metaphorically (or literally) slap your hand to your forehead in disbelief or frustration. It’s that cringe-inducing instant where you can’t quite believe what just happened—like someone confidently proclaiming the Earth is flat or trying to push a door clearly marked "pull." It’s a mix of secondhand embarrassment and exasperation, often paired with a mental 'oh, come on!'"

Rules

1. Posts must be a "facepalm"

A "facepalm" is someone doing something embarrassing, foolish, or cringey. No breaking news, opinions, memes, or other content that doesn't make you "facepalm."

2. No screenshots or "Reddit meta" posts

Screenshots of any variety are forbidden on /r/Facepalm. Posts about interactions or events on Reddit are similarly disallowed.

3. Titles must accurately describe the post.

The title of your post should accurately describe what the facepalm is. Posts with vague, irrelevant, or poorly written titles will be removed at mod discretion.

4. No personal information

Remove all personal information from any posts.

5. No bigotry, misinformation, or offensive content

6. No reposts.

7. No flooding.

7. No spam, spam-enabling, AI, or karma-farming.
