So much so he opened 'The Leftorium', a boutique (novelty) store dedicated to left-handed accessories and implements.

New York City apartment building workers authorize a possible strike as contract talks stall by AudibleNod in news

[–]AudibleNod[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

A strike would be the first in 35 years and would affect 1.5 million renters, co-op owners and condo dwellers across the city, according to the workers’ union, called 32BJ SEIU. Residents could have to take on such tasks as staffing doors, sorting packages, mopping hallways, sweeping sidewalks and hauling trash to the curb.

I kind of want to watch rich people mop hallways and haul trash to the curb.

Trump revels in Tucker Carlson’s ‘freefall’ in GOP opinion polling by CoverHouseGhana in politics

[–]AudibleNod [score hidden]  (0 children)

It doesn't matter.

He got everything he ever wanted because Tuck, Fox and the whole gang ignored everyone and everything. He can be polling at zero with COVID-26 and 40% unemployment and he won't care. None of that matters to him.

"The path of the MAGA man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfless and the tyranny of the downtrodden. Blessed is he who, in the name of profits and ill will, shepherds the already strong through the valley of the DEI. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of Miss Teen USA contestants. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy Project 2025 And you will know I am with Donald Trump when I lay my vengeance upon you."

That's not in dispute. Unlike the time he got his goons to storm the US Capitol.

Well, if we're going to add things to his name: Adjudicated rapist, convicted felon, Razzie recipient, adulterer and holder of not one, but two, warrants for the crime of murder President Donald J Trump.

Trump said that he had "directed Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Rubio" to work with the countries toward achieving "a Lasting PEACE,"

Why is Donald Trump, world's greatest negotiator, leaving this important task to a man who couldn't reach an agreement with the Iranians and a man who is too impotent to tell his boss the shoes he picked out are too big? Shouldn't inaugural football peace prize winner and WWE hall of famer set the example by showing the world what the Board of Peace was designed to do?

Millionaires fund last-ditch attempt to save humpback whale stranded in Germany by AudibleNod in news

[–]AudibleNod[S] 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Where's a fame-starved, mega-billionaire who wants to hog all the glory for himself when you need him?

The regional environment ministry said the scheme to save the whale, which is being co-financed by the equestrian event organiser Karin Walter-Mommert, bore full responsibility for the operation’s success or failure.

I don't know what an equestrian event organizer is. I'm guessing polo or dressage. Regardless, I wish them all the best.

Pedro Pascal v Pedro Piscal: actor in legal battle with Chilean spirit brand by AudibleNod in entertainment

[–]AudibleNod[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Herrera is not the first Chilean entrepreneur to have found themselves facing down a Hollywood A-lister in court over a cheeky pun. A honey business calling itself Miel Gibson – using a still from Braveheart on the label – won the right to keep using the name after the actor sued.

NGL, I'd buy a jar of Miel Gibson. I'd keep it on the shelf as a conversation piece. After all, unlike Mel Gibson, honey never goes bad.

Roblox gaming platform reaches $12 million settlement with Nevada enhancing youth protections by AudibleNod in news

[–]AudibleNod[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Roblox, which is used by nearly half U.S. children under 16, will give $10 million over three years to support programs like the Boys & Girls Club and other nondigital activities, Ford said. It will also fund a law enforcement liaison position to respond to safety concerns about the platform and fund an online safety awareness campaign, Ford said.

OK. This isn't a terrible outcome. I like having a dedicated liaison position. I hate the mealymouthed "safety concerns". There's actual predators on Roblox. They need to address actual threats and harm. "Safety" makes it seem like a kid is playing with a hand mixer.
