A self-inflating symbol of capitalism running on a faceless machine producing zero accountability is NOT REALLY appropriate here.

That is to say, fuck cryptocurrency. Do they think a civil rights attorney is going to accept that shit? Fuck off.

Also fuck URL squatters.

I swear there is a secret chain email between CEOs that says if you don't do a knee photo op or donate to BLM and forward this to 10 other CEOs, the ghost of George Floyd will set fire to your business.

Well if the AI was really so great, it'd write the news story explaining itself.

While the IRS says checks sent to jail inmates also should be returned, the sheer number of jails and detention centers across the U.S. makes it difficult to tell if many are following those instructions.

I'd pay admission to watch Nintex work in one of those. I'd even eat a Stroopwafel and make faces while I did it.

Maybe not the most obvious fit but I'd rather not mix real news with the mud in other threads he could be posted into :

Ellen Pao, former CEO Reddit, say Ghislaine Maxwell was invited to a Silicon Valley party despite her alleged trafficking of underage girls being common knowledge among guests and organisers.

I guess it's another dime for the "everyone knew" pile.

Just saw that in June the average detached house in Toronto (includes the old suburbs of Etobicoke, East York, North York, Scarborough) sold for an average price of $1,523,770, +14.3% YoY.

"The report, released Tuesday, defines "affordable" as spending no more than 30% of monthly income on rent"

Using that criteria and a two bedroom rental (per the article and report), the minimum wage in Toronto would need to be $56.25, which would be tough as the average hourly wage in Canada (can't find Toronto data) is $27.26.
