Part-time nerd. You'd never believe the movies and TV shows that I haven't watched.

Probably an unnecessary reminder, but parents: please keep your children away from creeps who know the various ages of consent of individual states.

A short story collection is a great opportunity for me to use my diagram of the early storyline to place them in the timeline! I made it to describe the series to my friend and encourage her to start reading it. I stopped at
~2/3rds because if that wasn't enough, she'd never start it anyway.

On May 1, Proven filed a federal lawsuit against McNally in the Middle District of Florida, charging him with a huge array of offenses: (1) copyright infringement, (2) defamation by implication, (3) false advertising, (4) violating the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, (5) tortious interference with business relationships, (6) unjust enrichment, (7) civil conspiracy, and (8) trade libel. Remarkably, the claims stemmed from a video that all sides admit was accurate and in which McNally himself said nothing.

Not sure how "we want people to talk about this, so we made sure people know that they won't get in trouble for talking about this" is going to work in their favor...
And in a sea-change for UMG’s internal policy, UMG removed the Song’s copyright restrictions on YouTube and Twitch, thereby “whitelisting” the Song (for the first time in UMG history), which further incentivized influencers to spread the Song

LMAO. Not sure how this article leads to the premise in paragraph 10. "On information and belief" should have some sort of evidence leading to the conclusion, right? Because the article lays out a realistic explanation that's not mentioned.
UMG appears to have used similar tactics with other streaming services. On information and belief, UMG paid, or approved payments to, Apple Inc. to have its voice-activated digital assistant “Siri” purposely misdirect users to “Not Like Us.”15 Online sources reported that when users asked Siri to play the album “Certified Loverboy” by recording artist Aubrey Drake Graham d/b/a Drake, Siri instead played “Not Like Us,” which contains the lyric “certified pedophile,” an allegation against Drake.16 HipHopDX‘s Jeremy Hecht revealed the interesting tidbit in a video this past Wednesday (July 10). As fans saw the video and tried it out for themselves, they realized that it was happening to them as well. Eventually, they all concluded that this was happening because Siri utilizes lyrics, along with albums and titles, to play what was requested via a vocal command in case the user does not know the actual song title. Given the fact “Not Like Us” came out two months ago, in comparison to Drizzy’s 2021 LP, and the song has reached massive heights on the streaming platform, it is safe to assume that it would be prioritized in their algorithms. However, K. Dot also uses the Certified Lover Boy album title in the lyrics, which would make “Not Like Us” even more likely to be the suggested song when a fan says the title.

Amish Give Up Published June 18, 1996 "This is bullshit," Elders Say LANCASTER, PA—After centuries of enduring harsh, spare living conditions and voluntarily shunning modern amenities such as microwave ovens and red clothing, Amish leaders announced Monday that Amish across the U.S. will abandon their traditional ways and adapt to modern American life. Inline picture of a bearded man driving a buggy. “Fuck that,” said Amish Father Ezekiel Schmid at a Lancaster press conference. “This is pure bullshit.” Schmid recounted the hard Amish life, in which many long hours are spent toiling under the hot sun in heavy black clothing without any refrigerated drinks or gas-powered farm machines. He spoke of the arduous task of raising barns by hand from dawn until dusk, and of laboriously churning his own butter without electrical power. “I can’t believe we were such suckers,” Schmid said. “I feel like a fool.” Loved Ones Recall Local Man's Cowardly Battle With Cancer Published February 24, 1999 Logo image labeled "Profiles in Fear" On Jan. 26, just four days after visiting the doctor for what he thought was severe indigestion or maybe an ulcer, Russ Kunkel got the dreaded news: A malignant, fist-sized tumor had metastasized between his stomach and liver. It was cancer. Family photo of Russ Kunkel with wife Judith and son Jake. Right then and there, faced with the prospect of a life-threatening disease, the 34-year-old Florissant, MO, husband and father of three drew a deep breath and made a firm resolution to himself: I am not going to fight this. I am a dead man. On Feb. 20, less than a month after he was first diagnosed, Kunkel died following a brief, cowardly battle with stomach cancer.
