A Nova Scotia excavation company has been fined $80,000 after a worker died when scaffolding collapsed on one of its job sites. In a decision released Wednesday, a Nova Scotia provincial court judge in Pictou, N.S., found the failure by Blaine MacLane Excavation Ltd. to ensure scaffolding was properly installed led to the 2020 death of Jeff MacDonald, a self-employed electrician. The sentence was delivered after the excavation company was earlier found guilty of an infraction under the province’s Occupational Health and Safety Act. Judge Bryna Hatt said in her decision she found the company “failed in its duty” to ensure that pins essential to the scaffolding’s stability were present at the work site.

Currently so shocked I’m finding it hard to type.

I was watching a show, you may have heard of, New Amsterdam. Season 5 was finally released on Netflix. This is how I find out that child marriage is legal in 44 US states.

Ima let that sink in for a sec. Child marriage is legal in fourty-four states in America.

Hold on.

Child marriage is legal in fourty four out of fifty states in the USA.

This statistic was when the show was made, in 2022.

This is not the 1600s. Nor 1800s. This is today. 21st century. How the fuck has it been this long to rectify? And even with the laws in place there’s room for exceptions? Tf?

As of June 2024, per Wikipedia, there are currently 37 states where child marriage is completely LEGAL.

How the absolute fuck am I only now finding out about this. Not to mention the trillion billion other things that’s fucked up in the US.

Why is this not on every news station in America? Not to mention all the other legal issues that aren’t protected. There’s not a law to protect gender equality, or in fact any equality. They overturned RVW. The president should be in jail, also. Can’t follow his own laws, and yet now he’s protected by them.

I’m not American but I am terrified for all the people out there in danger. For everyone vulnerable to these laws, and the future that might be created.

I can’t even begin to imagine how many children are affected by this right now but I’m more concerned why it’s kept so quiet. Why aren’t there protests? Riots? Why am I finding out about this through a tv show? And not the news? Internet? Anything?

I’m so disturbed right now. Please tell people. Nothing will change if no one is even aware of it.

And yes, I’m not American. But I feel like this should have global attention. I know there’s lots of countries out there with many issues like this but for america? Honestly.. I shouldn’t be surprised but I feel sick. Spread the word.

Confronting Transgender Genocide: A Priest's Struggle to Advocate for Justice

I could tell you the story about me, a cisgender woman, and my transgender wife. I could tell you that we both feel that we’ve lost our home countries because transgender people are no longer welcome there. I could tell you our story, and you’d sympathize, maybe comment on how we had the privilege of leaving but that less-fortunate others did not, then scroll on by. Some people who read this will…

Romana's parents have new lawyers

Y'all have seen me talk about Romana before — my dear friend who's fighting her absolutely terrible parents who are trying to force her into guardianship. At this point she's spent a year and a half living on her own, but they still are trying to take that right away from her. The legal fight continues and she still needs donations to pay her lawyers and other bills.

I've previously talked about the parents' lawyers tricking a judge into signing the guardianship order without reading it, and using it to "legally" kidnap her to their house, which was back on December 22nd of 2022. Her lawyers got a stay on the 23rd, but the parents kept her there until the stay came out in writing on the 29th. Since that time, the parents have hired new lawyers. We're not clear whether this is because the old ones got in trouble for the trickery, or whether the old ones realized the case was untenable, or something else entirely.

Unfortunately this means an uptick in case activity and more billable hours for Romana's lawyers, which means we have to raise more money to cover it. So if any of you can spare some cash, or at least signal boost, it would be really really appreciated. Romana is a sweetheart who just wants to put all this behind her. She's relentlessly supportive and caring to her friends and loved ones, even while she's dealing with all this madness. Romana deserves better than this. Can you help her fight for it?

Hi if anyone can donate and help us that would be amazing. Thank you so much

Things people would do in the Purge but that haven't been explored in the movies because the writers are too weak:

1. Have same-sex weddings before they were legal.

2. Marry objects, concepts or anime characters (a lot of rednecks marry their guns).

3. Steal stuff, a lot of stuff, literally just getting a truck and getting a new kitchen set.

4. Being naked outside.

5. Fully on kink gear (probably pretty naked as well).

6. Entering the U.S. no law, no immigration laws.

7. Just leaving detention centers.

8. Leaving jail.

9. Adopting children as a same-sex couple.

10. Have an abortion in states where it isn't legal.

11. Stealing expensive medicines.

12. Break dumb laws just because.

13. Buying, selling and using drugs, lots of drugs.

14. Fire.

15. Commit a lot of piracy, I'd be downloading so many games and movies.

Please include more ideas, I'd like to see what other people could come up with.

Nowadays you can't really escape AI Art. It is everywhere on social media and the news. And it's a super divisive topic. A lot of things like the legal aspects and the technical limitations are quite unsure. So I tried to bring some clarity and did a crap-ton of research, looking at this situation from all sorts of angles, and made a long, informative video out of it.

AI song featuring fake Drake and The Weeknd removed due to copyright issues

The AI-generated song featuring fake Drake and The Weeknd's vocals was removed from streaming platforms after the label Universal Music Group (UMG) complained of a "violation of copyright law." The song was removed from multiple platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon, SoundCloud, Tidal, Deezer, and TikTok. The user behind the upload, Ghostwriter977, said the rap song was produced using artificial intelligence. UMG claimed the use of their artists' music for training generative AI was "both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law." While it's unclear if traditional copyright law applies in this case, it highlights the legal minefield of generative AI.

Hey, guys, I'm boosting this because I started using it when my father was showing signs of dementia. I was fifty years old, and a pretty competent adult - and I STILL got lots of help with this. Things I wouldn't have thought of, things most of us only go through once or twice in a lifetime. Having a complete list of his utilities, passwords, understanding his banking while he was still competent to explain it*. While I only used a fraction of the resources in the book, it was still worth its weight in gold. Do yourself a favor and keep a copy somewhere; the day will come when you need it.

.* and also Thank HEAVENS he was sensible about sharing info with me and introducing me personally to his accountant, lawyer, and such. I know every elder isn't going to be that responsible.

While I'm on the topic, @ms-demeanor do you have a ko-fi or something? Because I would love to throw a few bucks your way. Also having a swearing and a nonswearing version is *chef's kiss* brilliant. I may share this with a cousin who is very, very nonswearing.

Hey you know how I said I was going to make a workbook on the kind of bullshit you need to do when someone you love dies? I actually did that.

HERE IS THE VERSION WITH LOTS OF SWEARING AT THE USELESS, SHITTY SITUATION YOU’RE IN.

HERE IS THE VERSION WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF BLACK HUMOR BUT NO CURSEWORDS.

So you suddenly have to become some sort of hacker or some shit

This is an eighteen page book that you can print out, download, share, and give away; it is meant to be used to collect information about funeral planning and account management after a death OR you can use it BEFORE you die and give people information so they’re not stuck playing Nancy Fucking Drew while trying to keep seventeen cousins who crawled out of the woodwork from gutting each other in front of the fucking casket as they argue about who’s inheriting grandma’s favorite dentures.

It’s not exactly cheerful and it’s full of things that are probably going to feel really fucking raw if you’re processing a fresh death.

I’m sorry! I love you! Death is shitty! I’m trying to laugh about it a little and I hope you can laugh a little too because otherwise we’re all just going to cry together.

Good luck!

(in memory of my weirdo mother and her weirdo siblings who all died too fucking young and left me holding this flaming bag of dogshit)
