This feels super accurate. Yes France, we're looking at you.

Red countries are "wow I mean congrats but why would you put yourself through that" and include Iceland, most of eastern and central Europe, Russia, the Baltics, Balkans and Finland) 
Dark blue is "omg You just said one word in my languages we're officially now BFFs" and that's Spain, Italy, Croatia, Turkey and Greece 
Pale blue "Oh that's cute but let's speak in English though" - Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway
UK - no reaction
France - "Please don't do that"

RIP Dolly Parton ❤️ Here's a lovely Dolly story: We worked together on "Transamerica." She told me that the bible passage that used to puzzle her the most was, "the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." She said, "How the heck do you sin against the Holy Ghost, and-

In 2004, Playboy interviewed "the google guys."
PAGE: We built a business on the opposite message. We want you to come to Google and quickly find what you want. Then we're happy to send you to other sites. In fact, that's the point. The portal strategy tries to own all the information. 
PLAYBOY: Portals attempt to create what they call sticky content to keep a user as long as possible. 
PAGE: That's the problem. Most portals show their own content above content elsewhere on the web. We feel that's a conflict of interest, analogous to taking money for search results. Their search engine doesn't necessarily provide the best results; it provides the portal's results. Google conscientiously tries to stay away from that. We want to get you out of Google and to the right place as fast as possible. It's a very different model.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

Please share this one.
HEY YOU! YES YOU!

TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!

example.com/article{?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=emai} /youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcC{?si=Aa1Uc_fRHXC0ay85}

These are source identifiers

Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site.Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity.

When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers.

Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them.
Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm _source="

ideally the court would not say “confusingly” about your motion
On August 25, 2025, Collier and Scott, with Scott representing both herself
and Collier, filed a Motion to Dismiss or, in the Alternative, Motion for Summary
Judgment. (Doc. #13). Therein, Collier and Scott argue that civil extortion is not a recognized cause of action under Ohio law. (Id. at PAGEID 507, citing Simpson v.
Voiture Nationale La Société des Quarante Hommes, 2d Dist. Montgomery No.
29016, 2021-Ohio-2131, 19l 13-15 (Jun. 25, 2021); First Fed. Bank of Ohio v.
Angelini, 3d Dist. Crawford No. 3-11-16, 2012-Ohio-2136, 11 6 (May 14, 2012);
Heskett v. Van Horn Title Agency, Inc., 10th Dist. Franklin No. 06-AP-549 2006-
Ohio-6900, 1l (Dec. (Dec. 2006)). Confusingly, Collier and Scott then set forth elements of a civil extortion claim "[u]nder Ohio law and federal precedents,"
which Kettering had alleged against Scott-wrongful threat; intent to obtain value
or coerce; no legitimate claim or privilege; causation; and damages. (Id. at
PAGEID 508, citing United States v. Pendergraft, 297 F.3d 1198, 1205 (11th Cir.
2002); Kenty v. Transamerica Prem. Ins. Co., 72 Ohio St.3d 415, 419 (1995); State v.
Milam, 2022-Ohio-3965 (10th Dist.); State v. Carter, 72 Ohio App.3d 553 (2d Dist.
1991)).
3 Collier and Scott cite to the incorrect paragraphs in both Simpson and Angelini. While it appears that Collier and Scott relied upon the citation to Angelini in Simpson, the Simpson citation of Angelini was itself inaccurate. The Court reminds the parties of the importance of independently verifying internal citations.
