“3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico,” Mr Trump wrote on Twitter, without offering evidence for the claim. He accused Democrats of inflating the official death toll to “make me look as bad as possible”.
Mr Long told Thursday morning’s news conference that while Florence’s wind speed had dipped, its wind field had expanded and total rainfall predictions were unchanged.
one of my insurance covered prescriptions is at the pharmacy that is a walk that is currently too far for me to take due to my plantar fasciitis if anyone could toss me $20 for uber money so the run can take me 6 minutes vs 60 i would be super appreciative
Hey my state wont give me food stamps unless im employed and i have no job prospects unless things suddenly change please donate so I can buy my dumb gluten free food
Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and my cupboards bare, I have some food but it will not last and I still do not know how I will cover all the utility bills.
I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.
I have the opportunity to move, and this is something I desperately need to do for my health and well being, I will have better access to medical care and the services I require. To make this work I am going to need to be bringing more funds than my disability payment, I really need to get some art together and get more things on my redbubble, I would love to do something like a patreon but I don’t think I can put out timely content at this time.
I have a scanner now, I am desperately in need of a new computer, I have been using a borrowed computer for the last few months and will have to give it back before I move, and it is not compatible with my scanner and I am unable to add editing software to it even if I could.
I am trying to raise at least $1000 at this time, for moving expenses and a new laptop, I am trying to move forward but there is so much holding me back and I need help.
Perfect setup again to drive myself crazy: Mr. C is running late home without getting in touch (again). So, I delay finishing putting supper together–and crash my blood sugar (again)! 😈
Cue some shaky OCD fun.
As many times as variations on this exact same bullshit have happened, it still took me a while to recognize what was going on. (Again.)
Now at least I am fed and sitting down for a while. And I am already getting less looping garbage. Rationally pretty sure he’s fine, but just shit at remembering to text me once he’s caught up in something and/or after a couple of drinks. I’m not very happy with him right now, assuming he is fine.
Frustrating how this stuff can keep sneaking up on you, though.
The European Parliament voted to adopt an extremely controversial copyright reform on Wednesday that could have profound ramifications for how the internet works. (And, yes, maybe make memes illegal.)
The reform is called the Copyright Directive and it was first proposed in 2016. On Wednesday, members of European Parliament voted 438–226 in favor of adopting the directive. The law is meant to be an overhaul of copyright rules, aimed at making sure publishers and artists are compensated by platforms like Google or Facebook.
The directive has been in the works since July, when it was announced that parliament would move forward with the copyright legislation. Wednesday’s vote was the last chance for any amendments.
The controversial directive contains two articles that open internet and free speech advocates believe could fundamentally alter the way the internet works. Here’s what they mean.
UK followers, to contact your MEP, go to “writetothem.com” and type in your postcode. this will bring up your mp, local councillors, and members of European parliament. Then you can write and express your concerns over freedom of speech as outlined above. Mention perhaps that internet censorship by the back door as a means of suppressing dissent will remove the moral high ground Europe keeps trying to take about China. Mention that this article i s open to exploitation by hostile foreign powers. Bring up the cairncross review on press sustainability and ask if a sustainable online press can be run under these conditions.
The median annual income for a person right after they are released
from prison is $6,500, so it’s understandable why 70% of them receive
food assistance of about $200 a month. This summer the House passed a
bill that will deny food stamps to people who have served their
sentences for violent crimes.
