A lawsuit against JP Morgan-Chase -- the nation's largest bank -- asserts that the institution paid off the $4,200,000,000 in mortgage forgiveness that it agreed to as a settlement for widescale mortgage and foreclosure fraud by committing a lot more mortgage fraud, in which homeowners, ethical lenders, and American cities were stuck with the bill.

hey folks if you got a moment and are comfortable doing so join me in filling in some info to tell Starbucks not to sponsor a Betsy DeVos fundraiser - they can't court billionaires who are homophobic and transphobic and also claim to host a safe space for LGBT+ folks

yep, that's definitely Scruffy--zie came back and was trotting around the field while being scolded by crows. yay Scruffy!
no, the Rick and Morty thing wasn't just about Szechuan sauce... https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/oct/04/i-loathe-these-people-rick-and-morty-and-the-brilliant-backlash-against-tvs-bad-fans?CMP=fb_gu
So, given that the NSA exists, and can be considered to have hypervisor root to all US clouds, and that some extremely *motivated* forces on the US far right with access to the White House would love to have the NSA's capability (as yet they don't - but I expect eventually they'll get that)...
... the world is in the position of actual Nazis and just plain ruthless people having at least read access to *all* corporate clouds.
Expect this. Understand it. Imagine what it means.
Please.
glanced out the window in time to see Scruffy* trotting rapidly across the field. zie's from the old pack, so I'm hopeful that means the rest of the pack is still around somewhere.
* it might have been a different coyote--with the same messed-up tail, grey markings like a husky, and general overall scruffiness--but it seems more likely it's the same Scruffy.
so I found reddit.com/r/surrealmemes for the first time and I remembered a conversation with @green from a few weeks ago and I couldn't stop myself https://awoo.space/media/1s_y54-ZuDNr_XvnMOY
@Kistaro yessssss XD
oh also I saw Blade Runner 2043 (whatever the year is) yesterday, and it's good. engaging, visually stunning; the sound effects and soundtrack are *fabulous* and really lend a lot to create the atmosphere. I had no idea what to expect from the plot other than "it's thirty years later and Harrison Ford is in it at some point," and I enjoyed seeing the story unfold.

@noelle it's annoying as hell, and if it goes on too long it can get painful, but the "spoonful of sugar" trick fixes it (though it may take a couple of tries). but at least I don't pass out! much, much empathy. *fistbump*

@noelle oh yikes, that sounds really upsetting and unpleasant. D: helps me put my recurring bouts of violent hiccups in perspective. :(
