I love how this dude is such a tone-deaf piece of shit, that he actually thought that saying he fired his employee for having premarital sex was a defense against being accused of firing her for for being pregnant.

Bill and Melinda Gates announce they are getting divorced

Bill and Melinda Gates say they're divorcing. The Microsoft co-founder and his wife said Monday that they would continue to work together at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the world’s largest private charitable foundation.
apnews.com apnews.com

even with their foundation being in large part a tax thing this is a huge story because they still end up doing a lot of good work and putting a ton of money out there every year. They're saying their charity won't be effected but we'll see. It's sad so much relies on billionaires donating their wealth but that's where we are lol.

Don Lemon has left CNN Tonight. He's still staying with the network in some capacity but for the time being, wonder where Maff Chat is going to get their news from now.

That's a crazy tweet but I don't agree with the mayor's stance about refusing one on one interview's with white reporters. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...-lightfoot-journalists-interviews/5192857001/ It's being condemned by a lot of minority reporters and politicians as well. I understand wanting to try and get more minority reporters but anytime a politician tries to determine who can report on them like that (and in such a heavy handed way) is a dangerous precedent. There are also (as said in the article) minority reporters saying they can't get access anyway.

$18,300 Invisible Sculpture “I Am” Is Basically a Void That Kicks NFT Butt

NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens) artwork has taken over, to the point where industry watchers are talking about a new trend for investors to jump on. We have NFT houses, NFT artwork like videos, paintings and music, NFT luxury watches, and even NFT artwork done by humanoid robots.

An 'invisible sculpture' consisting of absolutely nothing whatsoever has sold for a ridiculous price at auction.
Modern art can sometimes be a contentious subject, with everything from piles of rubbish to mundane objects selling for whopping great sums simply because such pieces have been defined as 'art'.

Sardinia-born artist Salvatore Garau however has now taken things one step further - perhaps as far as it is possible to go - by presenting and selling an 'invisible sculpture' at auction.

Entitled "I Am", the piece, which fills an area of totally empty space measuring 150x150cm, is literally nothing at all, with the only physical component being the owner's certificate of authenticity.

And the price for this piece of absolutely nothing whatsoever ? $18,300.

Mike Gravel, former US senator for Alaska, dies at 91

Mike Gravel, a former U.S. senator from Alaska who read the Pentagon Papers into the Congressional Record and later ran for president twice, has died. He was 91.

What a strange, strange political career. He unfortunately kind of flirted with the galaxy brained left/libertarians during his political comeback in the '00s/early 2010s but I think him reading the Pentagon Papers in the '70s will be remembered more than that. What will be remembered most though is the weird early viral videos in '08.
