Hey legal and finance Bluesky: I just got a court notice of a class action trial verdict against Elon Musk for manipulating the stock price of Twitter in 2022. If you sold shares (or bought puts or sold calls) from May-Oct 2022, you can get some of Elon Musk's money. Here are the docs.
Court-ordered class action lawsuit trial verdict notice informing individuals of a jury verdict against Elon Musk entitling individuals who sold Twitter stock (and/or bought put options or sold call options) during the period of May-October 2022 that they are entitled to monetary compensation due to the trial verdict finding that Musk illegally manipulated the stock price of Twitter.

Glad about the result, but I don’t think it speaks well of us as a country that after two years of human rights violations, war crimes, naked gangster corruption, and contempt for the Constitution, he’s finally unpopular because gas got expensive.

If someone posted this about a Jewish Senator, it would be rightly condemned as anti-semitism. El-Sayed was born and raised in Michigan, but because he is Muslim he is perpetually foreign and under suspicion.

If you're so self-righteous that you think anyone who's active on Twitter and here is an infidel--go ahead & unfriend or unfollow or block me. I follow over 500 great Twitter folks, some of whom are not here, all of whom are great! Life is beautiful and good people can be found in both places.

The irony is hard to miss: The same movement constantly warning that immigration threatens “Christian America” might want to look at who is actually keeping Christianity’s numbers from falling even faster.

Things that happen in a male supremacist regime that no one will acknowledge exists. For those who may not be aware, marital rape was NOT a thing until fairly recently. Marriage meant a man purchased a sex toy for his exclusive use 24/7; her consent was as irrelevant as asking consent of a toaster.

People whinging about NYC's Muslim mayor have it backwards:
2-frame screen shot from the daily show.  First frame shows the lights in the sky representing the twin towers, and the second shows Mayor Mamdani.  Captions read:   "The idea that 9/11 is about 'Muslims vs America"  isn't just wrong, it's accepting Osama Bin Laden's vision of the world.  And the fact that 25 years later after 9/11, we have a New-York grown, Muslim mayor leading our remembrance, proves to the world that Al Qaeda didn't win; New York won."

Islam doesn’t “allow men to murder their children,” and feminism doesn’t “allow women to murder their children.” But a whole lot of us atheists became atheists precisely because of our experiences with those supposedly “protective and nurturing” Christian parents.
