@AchesAndPains Praise Cheeses!
Lawyer refused to remove his concealed weapon while accompanying a family member into an MRI.
He was warned to remove any and all metal. He chose not to disclose that he was carrying the ferro-magnetic weapon.
No innocent people were injured.
He was killed.
@TruthSandwich @ceoln Looks like another troll, possibly a bot.
Prigozhin is wanted by the FBI here in the states for helping trump get elected in 2016. Mueller indicted him. The republicans wish you didn’t know that. They want you to believe Russian conspiracy to install their shill is a hoax. Russia installed Trump with the help of stupid, hateful Americans.
Just a reminder re. Prigozhin and the Internet Research Agency troll farms:
“I was never just a financier of the Internet Research Agency. I invented it, I created it, I ran it for a long time.”
Invention idea for an anti-paparazzi jacket that is covered in QR codes so that, whenever anybody tries to photograph you, it keeps trying to pull up the Applebee's menu.

@MattD Ah yes, when the false narrative encounters reality, violently.
Kenya is among a number of African states reportedly looking to introduce sweeping anti-homosexuality laws, with politician Mohamed Ali saying he wanted to “kick LGBT people out of Kenya completely”.

@Adam_Cadmon1 @carrideen Yeah, this has gone on since forever. Royalty would sometimes do the same thing to try and polish their public image, especially if they sensed that the people were thinking about getting a rope.
Billionaires are today's royalty.
I've been a PayPal user for 20 years. It used to be that cash transfers from you bank account into PayPal were instant. This made sense because ACH transfers are instant. But nowadays, the ACH transfer takes place immediately but PayPal holds onto the cash for two weeks before releasing it into your account.
Doing this with checks is a crime called check kiting. This allows the recipient to make use of the time-value of money for free, without paying interest. But it's legal in this setting simply because there's no law against it.
@KarpKan Welcome to Mastodon. Just two suggestions. There's no algorithm here. Likes are only visible to the post's author so boost liberally. Boost things that you like. Also, hashtags are important in original posts but can be skipped in conversational posts like this one.
Hello #Mastodon! This is my very first post. I'm still a little confused on how this all works, but as Reddit continues to destroy itself I'm finding a new home 🏡
I love it. Russia's prospects just got worse thanks to a Pentagon accounting error that results in a $6 billion defense boost for Ukraine.
@mollyjongfast Hmm, trying to misdirect our attention from the real question by focusing on a minor detail. Standard PR tactic.
#SCOTUS Justice Samuel Alito took a luxury fishing vacation to #Alaska with a hedge fund billionaire who later had at least 10 cases before the court. https://www.propublica.org/article/samuel-alito-luxury-fishing-trip-paul-singer-scotus-supreme-court
@ai6yr Hmm. I drink a triple shot of espresso every morning and grind my own. I never grind more than two or three days worth at a time so it's nice and fresh. I LOVE coffee and want the maximum flavor from what little I drink.
I though I’d learn #Morse code and #AVR programming at the same time. I started with an ATmega48P gating a 555 generating a tone. But that’s boring. So, I extended my code to generate #MIDI messages toggling D#6 on and off. #hamradio #electronics (This was originally posted July 24, 2022 on my now-defunct twitter account.)
