"My grandmother was paid to recite material, it's literally theft of my heritage that I, her grandchild, do not own the distribution rights to that specific recording"

If they were trying to copyright the stories or the language that would be one thing but it's just their recordings and material they've produced. He probably shouldn't have used his position at the school as part of his slander campaign if he didn't want to risk losing it. If there was no professional misconduct then his licensure isn't at much risk.

All he had to do to avoid consequences was not double down on saying "a non-profit paying someone to talk into a microphone is literally theft in a criminal sense". If he wants to ignore a reasonable cease and desist so he can continue to lie about a nonprofit he should pay his own legal fees about it.

Ok sure you can say that but when somebody receives payment in exchange for being recorded reciting a story signs over the rights to the recording you, the grandchild of the person who actually did the performance for the recording, do not own the rights to that recording.

If you actually read the SDDE complaint (link from the fundraiser) or the C&D they're pretty damning. This guy sucks, don't give him money.

You can power a datacenter with solar panels and hydro, there is no green way to raise cattle.

Yeah that's incredibly rude to waste that much of someone's time because you're too selfish to just pay attention to the road. 'I want to look at my phone for 10 more seconds so I'm going to make a stranger lose 3 minutes of their day' is absurdly selfish.

Except it's not "1 second" you're costing people minutes of their time when you prevent multiple additional cars from making the green because you're too selfish to just pay attention to the light.

And then they get mad when we call them flyover country. God what a shit hole.

That's what the majority of (sedans masquerading as) trucks are used for anyway.

Yeah but nobody retired a marginally profitable fuel refinery that became unprofitable during covid because they knew demand would return soon. The effect isn't instantaneous, but all the infrastructure has operation and maintenance costs. With fewer overall consumers all the overhead has to go somewhere eventually.

“When you do see a police car in the bike lane and they walk out of a Tim Horton’s, that’s not a good look,” she said. “I personally think that those police officers should be held accountable because that’s not right. But again, it’s not my job to police the police.”

Your job title is "parking enforcement officer" who the fuck else is going to do it

It's never too late to do reconstruction.
