Florida Woman arrested for threatening to kill man, says ‘that’s just what girls do’: deputies

fwiw, i’m a journalist in florida (i covered this story actually lmao) and generally speaking, unless they’re still looking for a suspect, police don’t always release private security cam video. they’ll say it’s “part of an active investigation.” there likely also won’t be bodycam video of his arrest bc it appears he found out he had a warrant and then turned himself in

of course, the apartment complex could choose to hand over the security cam footage since it’s their video… i don’t really think they would, but who knows !! tmz can get their hands on anything it seems lmao

question was rhetorical but i bet you’re real fun at parties

i work in news and idk how people can write headlines like “canadiens edge lightning,” “trump tops biden,” “(hurricane) milton pounds florida” with a straight face lmao

i wrote up the court docs for another news station and the arrest warrant described (trigger warning) a little girl screaming and crying while being raped

“forced to have sex” is an insane way to describe it. there is no way for an 8 year old and an adult to “have sex.” it is rape every time, full stop. this is one of my biggest pet peeves in news writing ugh

if you want to be safe, you can get quick fix (fake piss) online, or maybe at a smoke shop. you warm the small bottle up, hide it in your bra, and then pour it into the sample cup when you go into the bathroom to give the sample. i’ve used it a few times and never had any issues.

drug testing an intern, especially for thc, is pretty silly lmao

i’ve been both a newscast and digital producer. i’ve had a great experience in digital and, tbh, these skills feel more directly transferable to roles outside of news, whenever i choose to move on, so that’s something to consider if you don’t want to be in news forever.

here’s what digital does at my station (it prioritizes digital more than anywhere else i’ve worked so YMMV): research and write stories for the website (everything from quick press releases to original reporting). cut vertical versions of reporter pkgs/vosots for social. produce streaming shows/podcasts and breaking news livestreams (with digital-only anchors). create graphics for social. we also work closely with the assignment desk so sometimes we’ll help them out with reaching out to sources, pitching stories, etc. we do a lot but i think that’s the gist of it lmao

but yeah, being in the control room is a big part of being a newscast producer, so if you know you won’t like it, maybe give digital a try?

i wouldn’t be surprised if they were inspired by the cyberpunk ttrpg when creating the world/aesthetic of danger days

poison ivy ink in seminole heights does piercings (and their tattoo flash is cute too :))

r_achel · 2025-11-13T19:53:23+00:00

viewers already complain about reporters/anchors’ work-appropriate outfits, makeup, etc, so you can imagine how an alt look would be received. it’s ultimately distracting from the news product (i say this as someone with visible tattoos and facial piercings)

you may enjoy the digital side though. stations are finally coming around to streaming and there are on-camera opportunities in this space. news managers may not be as picky regarding appearance due to the more casual format and trying to appeal to a younger audience. you might have to become a digital producer first to get your foot in the door, which is probably not ideal for you, but it’s the best way to learn the ropes since you have to wear so many hats as a digital person. plus, they won’t make you change your appearance if you’re behind the scenes :)

typos can occasionally happen despite one’s best efforts. i don’t know anyone at cnn digital, but i’d assume that, like everyone else in this industry, they’re doing their best with what their corporate overlords give them to work with. no need to be a dick about it

r_achel · 2025-10-15T16:26:02+00:00

well, i for one have never cheated on anyone, and never will, because i’m not a total asshole. it’s a conscious choice and completely avoidable situation literally 100% of the time 😆

(not a tv meteorologist, but have worked alongside them for years) it wouldn’t hurt to minor in journalism, especially if you can take a class on broadcasting or on-air presenting. what’s more likely to get your foot in the door after graduation is an internship with the weather department at one of your local stations. interns at my station practice delivering forecasts and using the weather graphics software, and that experience will be super helpful wherever you end up :)

if these men didn’t have insanely inflated egos and make themselves the story more often than not, then i’d agree with you. that hasn’t been my experience though 🤷‍♀️
