Is "learnt" now proper journalistic English? @bitdefender.bsky.social
When Cameron Curry discovered that his contract as a data analyst wasn't going to be renewed, he could have updated his Linkedin profile. He could have started sending out his resume.
But what the 27-year-old from Charlotte, North Carolina, did instead was turn to extortion.
And this week, he learnt that that wasn't the best idea he had ever had - as he was sentenced to 24 months in a federal prison, after being convicted on six counts of transmitting interstate communications with intent to extort.

System working as designed
Wall Street is galloping as
U.S. economy hobbles along
BY AARON GREGG
Unemployment is going up, with worker pessimism at its highest in years. Inflation is creeping higher. The U.S. deficit is climbing. Consumer sentiment is down. And many key issues facing the economy — such as the fate of President Donald Trump's tariffs, and interest rate decisions by the Federal Reserve - are still up in the air.

Bro needs to learn how to use the word “remorseful” correctly.
"I'm not repenting," Santos said. "I'm not remorseful of exercise in my first amendment rights. I will never be remorseful of my first amendment rights and the prosecution's overzealous 87-month request is overkill. I remain believing it’s overkill, and that's why I'm going to seek recourse elsewhere."
