Quote from an article: "But as Meiselas tells it, there was a time when Ben wasn't certain he even wanted to graduate from college - the son, like father, was seduced by the biz. "He was introduced to the music scene at a very early age," says the elder Meiselas, noting that Ben's bar mitzvah party was held at Justin's, Combs' now-defunct restaurant in Manhattan."

Excerpt from an article: 2003 Bad Boy Entertainment cofounder and former president Kirk Burrowes sued Combs in July, alleging Combs coerced him into signing over his stake in the company. Burrowes claims Combs and his lawyer Kenneth Meiselas entered his office and threatened him with a baseball bat to give up his 25% stake in the company. Burrowes was fired from Bad Boy in 1997 and alleges he did not receive his shares of the company's profit from before he was terminated. Combs denied the allegations, and the $25 million lawsuit was tossed in 2006 because the events outlined in the case exceeded the statute of limitations.

Quote from an article: From Variety in 2019, as told by lawyer Ben Meiselas, whose father Kenny Meiselas represented Diddy for 20 years through music/Hollywood powerhouse Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks (the firm recently dropped Diddy): "Sean Combs gave me an internship which changed my life when I was in high school. For those who don't know, Bad Boy Records is the Seal Team 6 of internships. It prepared me for everything, being under Puff's tutelage. Which is why I think when judges yell at me... it's nothing compared to Puff." After graduating from Georgetown, he met Mark Geragos, "who I think truthfully liked me because no matter how hard he yelled at me, I was willing to take it, based on everything I had experienced with Puffy."

Quote from an article: Variety, ever intrepid, even solicited an ad from Diddy to congratulate Kenny Meiselas on his "Power of Law" honor. We know this because Kenny's wife, publicist Beth Katz Meiselas, posted it on her social media, which is flooded with laudatory posts mentioning Diddy. Below the quote is a photo of the social media post that shows the ad with the quotes. The copy reads: "KENNY AND BEN Kenny, for the last two decades you have been more than my lawyer and trusted advisor, you have become family. You are the best in the business. KEEP CHANGING THE WORLD WITH YOUR AUTHENTICITY AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS HONOR. ALL MY BEST, SEAN"

Just a suggestion from someone who's been a longtime supporter of yours -- maybe dial down the "like father like son" stuff when your new biz partners are sons of the guy who enabled Diddy for 20 yrs and allowed them to work for him and/or spend a bunch of vacation/leisure time with him.

Any ETA on when a broader group of invites for beta testers will go out? Like many, I've been waiting (as patiently as possible 😉😆). Been working in the digital space for 30 yrs (since the olden days, even before www) so I can't wait to see what you're building.

Just adding to the chorus of replies to ensure that the international contingent is on record that we too (a) realize it, and (b) have zero qualms about acknowledging we hold those specific Americans with the deepest contempt and disrespect.

To the PM's social media team -- putting only an #alttext description of a text doc is insufficient. If the post is just an image of a text doc you need to copy/paste the entire text into the alt text field. Otherwise, screen readers will not be able to translate what is in the image. #accessibility

Just a reminder to #boycott Fiverr as it is Israeli with HQ in Yafa which the #zionists call Tel Aviv.

You want change in the #US - then stop #Israel and #aipac and elect people with a moral core. Maybe then it can be about America instead of Israel First and Foremost.

I know your heart is in the right place, but in future please resist the temptation to make a punchline out of the very real crime of children being raped. Imagine you were one of his victims or their family reading that post.

Umm, yeah, we're all good up here, thanks. Our PM doesn't have syphilis dementia and our citizens aren't going bankrupt if we need to go to the emergency room. And since we have the most men's hockey Olympic medals and you haven't won gold in 45 yrs, we're okay with letting you have this one.

ANALYSIS | Danielle Smith says court 'skewed' to Liberal donors, but UCP picks have political ties just as often | CBC News CBC analysis suggests about one-fifth of federally named judges match with Liberal donor lists. About as many judges picked by the province likely gave to UCP.

When Danielle Smith claimed 80% of federally picked judges had donated to Liberals, that was way higher than any figure I'd researched.
I dug into it. Could confidently write here:
"It is not true. The single media source Smith got that fact from has since corrected it."

It's all of men's organized hockey...from youth leagues to the pros. The culture of ignorance, violence, prejudice, and misogyny escalates steadily until it's so indoctrinated that people are blind to how toxic it is. And they're not going to change until their profits are affected.

The New York Rangers expect me, a woman, to come back and watch the rest of the season after I watched the people who run the organization and two of its players laugh at female athletes. I think I’m good on hockey for the rest of the season. It’s been, like, really ruined.

US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show Shooting death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, in Texas was not publicly disclosed by Department of Homeland Security

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

Fact check: Is Stephen Harper in the Epstein files? CBC’s fact-check team debunks the claim that former prime minister Stephen Harper received a wire transfer from Jeffrey Epstein.

CBC News fact-checked references to “Harper & Associates” in the Epstein Files, suggests it could be a different US company, but ultimately confirms nothing

I contacted Harper & Associates twice last week asking if they could clarify but they never replied

(CBC had no comment from Harper either)
