YouTube star Mikayla Raines dies by suicide at 29, husband blames online abuse

I would also like to add another perspective.

I think its important to bear in mind that there are plenty of examples of animal rights and environmental organisations that have been the target of harrasment campaigns bankrolled by corporate and political interests.

I'm not suggesting this is what happened here. I think we have to scrutinize any possible conspiracy -- I really want to make that clear. If you look through the other comments, there's a lot to delve through here.

But I would suggest bearing in mind that smear campaigns aimed at cultivating a kind of political nihilism is something that does happen.

The best you can do, if you care about these causes, is to continue to support them in whatever ways you can.

In my opinion, all animals deserve a hell of a lot better than this.

From Nancy's wiki:

Mace worked for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign,[4] but strongly condemned his actions surrounding the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack. She asserted that Trump's legacy had been "wiped out" and that he should be held "accountable" for his actions. She later voted against impeaching him,[5][6] and, in 2024, endorsed him in the Republican presidential primary.

In case you're wondering about the kind of spineless sack of shit Nancy is.

In 2004, she earned a master's degree in journalism and mass communication from the Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia.[12][13]

In case you're wondering whether her discrimination is the product of stupidity or calculated malice.

Do we know how the age verification process is gonna work or is this gonna be one of those neoliberal dystopian spystate kinda deals where the means of data collection is left to corporations only to be subsequently tapped by the state when the want to target individuals?

Frank is on some sort of magical flyin contraption that drops him on his head. His corpse is found by an Ogre who sells it for meat. A chicken buys the corpse who proceeds to drag it along. The devil appears, however, rather than dragging frank to hell/afterlife, he decides it would be better to be dragged around by the chicken in a car. As such, frank does not pass on into the next life and gets up. He bumps into the ogre who dies of shock at the sight of him. The ogres body collapses right by the sign, where frank - whose luck has ultimately taken quite a turn - sits and awaits a customer.

I think there could be some more lore to the devil and his behaviour since it's pretty hard to understand otherwise.

Hahahaha. God they really are so fucking stupid.

Like I love how nobody seems to question the expertise of CEOs. Like, I know the board structure, they consult experts and make decisions. That makes sense (I mean it has problems but it makes sense). But if you're choosing a CEO for a Telecoms company, and the last job he did was being the CEO of a successful kitchenware company, I'm gonna question the degree to which this person can do their job well. There are so many CEOs who seem completely disconnected from the company they are in charge of.

Man burns 100 Beachwood Public Library books on Jewish, African American, LGBTQ+ education: report

On Monday, Heights Christian Church, which describes itself as “open to and affirming of all people, celebrating and finding strength in our diversity + affirming the dignity + worth of every person,” hosted an Action and Press Conference “against this hateful act.”

HCC said the event joins forces with Interfaith Group Against Hate to condemn the action.

Besides condemning the action, IGAH will be promoting support for our libraries. We will also be presenting a plan of action that will include partnering with local bookshops to purchase books, as well as community readings and discussion on topics that promote diversity and free speech. Heights Christian Church

Honestly, pretty good response from the community and church.
