James McGrath stabbing: Party-hosting parents get probation

January 10, 2024 Web Shared Hosting News 0

The Connecticut parents who hosted a drunken high school house party that preceded the fatal stabbing of a 17-year-old were sentenced Wednesday to probation for allowing underage drinking.

Paul Leifer, 59, and Susanna Leifer, 52, will have their cases dismissed if they meet certain conditions, the Connecticut Post reported. Those conditions include not getting arrested again in the next two years, completing 50 hours of community service each, making $250 charitable donations and not hosting any parties that may include underage drinking.

A party at the Leifers’ house on May 14, 2022 ended in a fight, and some of the combatants met later that night down the road and brawled again. During the second confrontation, 17-year-old James McGrath was stabbed to death.

I’m a big fan of the Samsung SSD’s as well, after having extensively used the Intel entry level SSD’s (5xx series) for specific clients around a decade ago, and having experienced a perpetually worsening failure rates as model #’s climbed. We pivoted to the Samsung 860 Pro’s at the time, and had very positive experiences.

That said, I’d be very careful about using the current generation of Samsung EVO’s: We have a customer who deploys considerable numbers of these drives, and has done so for awhile. I’ve observed on several occasions said customer having to replace the SSD’s in bulk (by which I mean, dozens per visit) after…

Greta Gerwig on Jo Koy's Golden Globes 'Barbie' Joke: “He's Not Wrong”

January 10, 2024 Web Shared Hosting News 0

Greta Gerwig says she got the joke when Jo Koy told the Golden Globes audience on Sunday that Oppenheimer was based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning book but Barbie is about “a plastic doll with big boobies.”

The writer-director addressed the quip he delivered during his first Globes hosting gig while appearing on BBC Radio 4 Today. The joke has been criticized by some for being reductive or sexist, but Gerwig offered host Martha Kearney a different take on Koy’s joke.

“Well, he’s not wrong. She’s the first doll that was mass-produced with breasts, so he was right on,” she said. “And you know, I think that so much of the project of the movie was unlikely because it is about a plastic doll.”

Cement truck has not been classed as an antisemitic hate symbol by ADL

Posts circulating online claim “an image of a cement truck” has been declared an antisemitic hate symbol by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). This is false.

The claim appears to have come from a screenshot supposedly showing the ADL’s website where a “Cement Truck” is listed under “General Hate Symbols”. The ADL is an organisation with headquarters in the US campaigning against antisemitism, hate and extremism. 

In the screenshot, there is an illustrated image of a cement truck with text below saying: “The image of a cement truck is an antisemitic symbol used by white supremacists to imply that Jews dig tunnels to be used for child trafficking. This comes after a tunnel was discovered under a New York synagogue.”

While the screenshot may have been…
