LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

I have only about 200 of this which leaves about 3.1k and need to knock as much of this out before court on the 16th so I don't lose my housing.

Okay somewhat decent news.
I actually only owe 3.3k in total and they said they're going to let the courts know I've made payments and we will reach on some kind of payment plan.
So still urgent but slightly less urgent

Spirit Halloween Dani 🎃 @djamiempls.meatjacker.social · 6d

Well just when I was feeling okay, I got the court hearing notice that I have to pay $5.7k in order to keep my home (not including what I owe already and paid today).

Here's the proof and court is the 16th of October.

I need so much more help than I realized.

mcdonal is doing the monopoly thing again and if you didn't know, it's considered a sweepstakes which means they need what's called an "alternative method of entry" for people who don't want to pay. you can request free game pieces (which occasionally are free food) 5 times per day here

Insane that the Supreme Court didn't immediately stop the tariffs and let this drag on for 6 months. Even the most sacrosanct, load bearing pillar of this country-the interests of capital-must submit to the whims of one old doofus. And we love to see it

McCain Zippin! (1997-1997): A line of sports-themed fruit "cooler" drink juice boxes, promoted by then-Chicago Bulls forward, Scottie Pippen. Available in flavors like Super Skatin' Citrus, Slam Jammin' Strawberry, Grand Slammin' Punch, & Goal Kickin' Grape.

Scottie Pippen wears a white jersey with an image of himself dribbling a ball on it. He holds a basketball in one hand, and "spins" a blue and purple box that reads "Zippin!" on the index finger of the other, as he looks up, amused

It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”

It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

Good reporting, HOWEVER!!! I hate the phrase “school choice.” What it really means is “forced resegregation”

Megan O'Matz @megomatz.bsky.social · 1d

The Trump administration is working to dramatically expand school choice, moving kids to a range of private & religious schools or homeschooling. Ultimately, what percentage of children would remain in public schools? A Moms for Liberty co-founder told me: “I hope zero. I hope to get to zero.”

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

“I got into blues in my late teens. I knew about Robert Johnson from the bands that covered him. And when I heard him, I thought it was OK. Then I heard Son House’s a cappella song “Grinning in Your Face” [from the 1965 Columbia album Father of Folk Blues]. That was a transformative moment. There’s nothing there, just that voice. And what he was singing made so much sense to me.”

Charges dropped
In June 2007, Perverted-Justice was criticized following a sting operation in Collin County, Texas, after charges against 23 suspected online sex predators were dropped. Collin County Assistant District Attorney Greg Davis claimed the cases were dropped after Perverted-Justice failed to provide enough usable evidence that crimes were committed within the county's jurisdiction. (691 Perverted-Justice responded by stating that the district attorney's office was changing its explanation for dropping the charges and "could not defend the claim that the evidence was 'inadequate''.

Thank goodness he lost this. The precedent would have basically been that rap battles are now illegal.

Imo the worst part of this lawsuit was not that he did something so embarrassing as file it, but that he was willing to imperil an entire genre of rap music’s legality to soothe his own ego.
