Donate to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, The Carter Center, and/or Alliance for Middle East Peace.
Y’all hear about this?..
The Supreme Court ruled that presidents are “absolutely” immune from criminal prosecution when their actions involve allegedly official acts while they were in office. Meaning Biden can stop telling his dogs to bite secret service and start biting them himself.
Miami Beach is distancing itself from Sean “Diddy” Combs, with a resolution to rescind their declaration of October 13th as “Sean Diddy Combs Day.” They’ve also banned any official celebrations that might honor his other recognized names, like: Puffy, Puff Daddy, and Diddy. In addition to any future monikers, like: P. Za, PeePee, Guilty, and On All Counts.
A piece of metal from a SpaceX spacecraft was found on a private hiking trail in North Carolina. A private trail?! Wow, even Elon Musk’s space debris is classist.
Two managers at the World Economic Forum, which hosts the glitzy Davos conference, said the N-word in front of staff. Just goes to show… no matter how rich you are — the most precious metal of all is the ability to say the N word unscathed. I believe they call it “unobtanium” in the Avatar films.
Finally…
The iPhone 16 is less than 3 months away. However, the company has no intention of revealing its gender, stating, “It will be locked in the cloud until it chooses to come out.”
