A judge heard arguments last week on one accused man’s request to remove James but said he wouldn’t rule without knowing if the six other lawsuit defendants backed the effort. He gave the man’s lawyers until Thursday to try to get them to join.

Four agreed to join, including one whose lawyers had previously filed court papers seeking to have James removed. The two others didn’t have lawyers and did not respond, court filings said.

James’ office declined to comment.

James, a Democrat, posted about the case on X and Facebook on Sept. 28, linking to a news article about the lawsuit. “I’m holding her in my heart and in my prayers. To her, and to all survivors: you’re not alone. We stand with you.”

It's true. I voted. Did all my fellow Americans also vote today or earlier?

The Archdiocese of New York and attorneys for about 1,300 parishioners who said they were sexually abused by clergy have agreed to an $800 million settlement of their legal claims, the second-largest involving a Catholic archdiocese in the U.S.

Archbishop Ronald Hicks sent an email Saturday to clergy confirming the settlement after attorneys for the survivors of alleged abuse announced it. Hicks said the agreement will not be final until the parties sign it, an action scheduled for the week of Nov. 6.

The only larger settlement over sexual abuse claims in the U.S. was by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, which agreed in 2024 to pay $880 million to 1,000 abuse victims, in addition to $740 million in claims it had paid previously. In June, the Archdiocese of San Francisco agreed to a $395 million settlement over about 500 lawsuits filed over clergy abuse, and in December 2025, a federal judge approved a settlement in which the Archdiocese of New Orleans agreed to pay at least $230 million to abuse victims.

It was pretty good.

You seen any good movies lately?

The “Cornell 7” Jane Doe dropped a man from her lawsuit whom she wrongly identified as president of the school’s Chi Phi fraternity — whose members she claims gang raped her.

Doe, who has accused seven Chi Phi brothers of sexually assaulting her at a party in October 2024, initially named Orazio Petito in her civil lawsuit, which she filed last month.

Petito, who was mistakenly identified as the chapter’s president, was not accused of sexual assault.

So i went to the bathroom earlier, and when i sat down my toilet seat broke in half. I was like, shit, okay, need a new toilet seat.

So I run off to the only place open at the time (Walmart) and as I'm getting out of the car I see an acquaintance sitting there with the hood open on their car, he's disabled and quite old so he isn't able to get it going. I work on cars as a hobby and I took the chance to catch up with him and try to help him out.

There were 2 other guys there as well, some skinny guy, and another one who was a retired mechanic but didn't work on this style of car. So we crack at it for about 30 minutes, can't figure it out, it has a new starter, a new alternator, and a brand new battery, all 3 replaced last month by his nephew, so I tell him that if we can't get his car running I'll drive him and his wife home to get them out of the cold. The 2 guys have to leave to pick up their kids, the mechanic gives me his number and says he'll be back with a dually and a trailer, and I quickly go inside the stor to get the toilet seat.

When I finished buying the seat I go and try some other stuff to see if we can get it to start. The issue is that the starter wasn't even trying to engage, it would crank if we jumped it but that would trip the anti-theft and prevent it from sparking. I'm no stranger to weird electrical problems so, while chatting with him, I pluck around the wiring loom, and notice a wire is a bit pulled out, I push it into the connector, reach around the steering wheel, and the car starts no problem (Wire was most likely the key_crank signal imo but I didn't want to mess with it much further atm).

He gives me his thanks and I tell him to take it to a shop tomorrow so they can fix the harness correctly, it was raining at this point so I wanted him to get home first thing.

Anyway I call the retired mechanic up and tell him he doesn't have to come back down as I got the car running. He lights up, tells me he's impressed that someone young was willing to stay and help, and actually get the thing going, and that I used reassuring language to help calm them down when they were (obviously) having a pretty bad time.

Turns out he owns a fairly large construction company in the area, told me to call him back if I need anything, and he invited me to a gathering he's hosting out at the nearby lake with a bunch of other business owners... So I just accidentally made an influential friend? Started because my fat ass broke my toilet seat????

IDK, was a very unique day

Well "new" for me. I bought a used 2016 Chevy that used to be a fleet vehicle. Got it for like $8000 and it gets 33mpg which I love.

I did seriously consider getting an electric, but since I need a car for long term road trips? I don't think an electric would be good right now.

Lke if I need to drive from Idaho to Wisconsin, how would I do that with an electric?

I'm seriously confused. More I learn about it more I'm like, what? How do these scenarios and stuff work? What are the rules?

Can someone help me?

I filed for an extension and yes it really took me this long to do mostly because of bad luck and my own really bad, impulsive choices.

As someone who went through abuse by his teachers along with bullying in high school i think i have an idea about what's the story is basically my idea is that the game is a dream of a child with the dream being a manifestation of his school life Baldi does not beat him physically but actively mentally tortures him (which is what happened to me) and the rest of the Kids either dont mind what happens or actively using the situation to their advantage to hurt the kid more the priniciple is a representation of how Higher ups would rather defend the teacher then the student even if the teacher is undoubtedly in the wrong

I'm getting fucking sick of this orange fuck lying and causing the United States to fall behind. END THE TARIFFS. If you don't vote you're a part of the problem.

I didn't get it. It was pretty good and had a lot of scary moments, but so much of the movie made no sense to me and the ending kinda sucked.

7/10

Active Matrix Rooms maintains a live index of public Matrix rooms across the federation. The search engine matches your query against each room’s name, alias, topic, and homeserver domain. Results are ranked by messages per hour rather than by total members, which can be inflated by abandoned accounts.

I built this and it’s been live for over 3 months stable at this point, used every day by people to help find the rooms that have active users. I created it after joining several rooms that didn’t have anyone active, and I was seeing many other users do the same. It should never be the case that you need to join blindly to know whether there are messages being sent in it.

If you have any suggestions, issues, or feedback please let me know, thanks.

I been loving boomer shooters lately because I'm old and fat and gay and employed, sadly, and this game I got about a week ago on Steam.

That final boss with Tumulus Samael was rough, dude. You gotta kill him 3 times and there's hoards of enemies there. It took a lot of thinking and planning out to beat.

My one downside to it is where are the Orks? I get it, them with their belief ability might be hard to implement, but still I'd love to see the Orks.

You played any good games recently?

I think we have an obligation to halt any development of data centers in space. While climate change is set to destroy our future, we can't afford to be focused on that bullshit.

A woman who accused Jay-Z of raping her when she was 13 years old has formally withdrawn her allegation, saying that she has never met the rap superstar.

The unnamed woman had originally made the allegation in a lawsuit filed in 2024, claiming that Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, had drugged and raped her with Sean Combs, known as P Diddy. The incident was alleged to have happened at a party after an MTV awards ceremony in 2000.

Jay-Z denied the allegations, describing them as a blackmail attempt, and Combs also denied them. Jay-Z’s lawyer maintained the events relied on an “impossible timeline”. The woman dropped the lawsuit in 2025, and Jay-Z filed a counter suit.

As that lawsuit progresses, the woman has now said her claims were false. “Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter never raped me. I have never met or spoken to Mr Carter. Mr Carter never engaged in any inappropriate conduct toward me whatsoever,” she said in a declaration obtained by Rolling Stone.

It seriously is like a post about how they've burned their money just to get a few views.

I was literally about to quit this week. I don't hate my job. But it's nothing special, just another fumbling company run by greedy owners trying to make a buck off the backs of others. So kind of standard. I'm so very, very, burnt out. It's been very difficult to get up and go do bullshit every day but, y'know, homelessness.

I've got undeveloped property I've been trying to get to for a while now. It's in the middle of nowhere but I want to put a storage unit on it and camper and live off grid for as long as I can. I'm only about to be 50 soon so still got a few years left (hopefully) but I've got health issues and can't keep doing what I have been for work. At least not full time, so I have to get creative.

And I have nothing left to stay for in the state I am in anymore. I could go now but keep putting it off. I've just been paying off debt and killing time.

Anyway, long story short. Manager texted me 'I hear you're trying to leave me' and I swear I thought he was talking about me quitting, since I had been pretty open about my plans with coworkers. Thankfully I replied with something neutral instead of blabbing out right. Little while later one of the owners called to offer a position recently vacated.

It wasn't a surprise, the guy leaving recommended me to the position and I indicated I was interested. Didn't hear anything else about it and kind of forgot about it.

I get to be my own boss, more or less, do more of the work I like and got a raise.

At some point earlier in my life I would have been ecstatic. But I'm so ready for this chapter to be over that I don't even care. I mean, it's nice, I'm a little optimistic about it but in the spot where gratitude should be there is only emptiness. Feels like this is a reflection of the general state of things. With me. The world.

Guess I will hold off the move until spring.

Thanks for reading my rambling. I haven't told anyone else.

Like it was bad, but that cursed kind of forgettably bad. Like 4.5 outta 10, you know?

Like I almost feel like it would be better if the show was worse because then it'd at least have something to stand on.

As it is, it's just a dime a dozen needlessly vulgar adult animated show. A drop in the ocean cursed to be forgotten in a month when Netflix inevitably cancels it.

New to this thing. Just got piefed and Blorp 🌙✨
