Photographer don win fight for ‘monkey selfie’

Trouble start for 2011 after one monkey wey dem dey call Naruto di macaque snap imself inside one jungle for Indonesia with David Slater camera.

Slater bin tell BBC say im bin make £2,000 from di photo before Wikipedia come publish am for dia site for anybody wey want am, free of charge.

Di website say no be him get di picture because na di monkey snap imsef. Slater come dey insist say na im set di camera on top tripod after im don already pally with di monkeys for three days inside di jungle.

Slater tell Wikipedia say make dem pay am for di picture or comot am from dia website but di website no give am face.
One animal rights campaign group wey dem dey call People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) na dem carry di case go court for 2015, say na di monkey suppose get di ownership of di picture.

That PETA was found to have any standing in the case in the first place makes the whole thing a farce. And “monkey selfie” should be the name of an unspeakable sex act.

Pizza Hut threatens evacuating Florida employees with disciplinary action

Hurricane Irma caused massive destruction to Florida. But before the storm made landfall, more than 5 million residents – about one-third of the state’s population – were told to evacuate for their own safety. Governor Rick Scott even issued a plea for residents to “leave now, don’t wait.”

As people heeded Governor Scott’s orders and fled the state, a Pizza Hut restaurant in the storm’s path issued a much different warning to its crew.

In a now-viral post on Twitter, a Pizza Hut team member shared a photo of a printout pinned to a cork board that advised Pizza Hut employees on hurricane “guidelines.”

The paper, addressed “To all Team members,” starts with expectations “as hurricane Irma approaches Florida,” stating “our #1 priority is the safety and security of our team. But, we also have a responsibility and commitment to our community to be there when they need us. With that said, I/we need some guidelines in place to ensure both of those expectations are met.”

The sheet continued with general rules – the store will close 6-12 hours before a storm – and that if a team member plans to evacuate, they must alert a manager and let them know when they plan to return, citing that a member is only allowed a “24-hour period before storm ‘grace period’” and must be back from an evacuation within 72 hours.

I spent one of the worst couple of weeks of my entire life working at a Pizza Hut. The job didn’t have all that much to do with it but certainly didn’t help. I can never forget the little weaselly-looking guy who ordered a small, thin crust, double extra cheese, double extra anchovy. The rest of the crew said he had been coming in every Monday and ordered the same thing for as long as anyone could remember.

Leftist denies anything bad happens because of leftists; circle jerk really a rhombus: Measuring the Mizzou Effect

Washington’s Evergreen State College, where raucous student protests and disturbing threats of violence made national headlines this spring, has fallen several million dollars in the hole, according to a recent memo from its public administrators. The memo blames the shortfall on both changes in state funding and a 5 percent decline in the school’s enrollment since fall 2016. Right-wing media outlets have another, simpler explanation: They’ve linked the woes at Evergreen to those at the University of Missouri, where a similar bout of campus turmoil in 2015 preceded an enrollment drop. Like Missouri, these sources argue, Evergreen is being punished for giving in to leftist thugs. “SHOCKER: Evergreen State Faces $2.1 MILLION Budget Crisis After Radical Students Go Berserk,” announced the Daily Caller. “Evergreen State College Wakes Up to the Cost of Wokeness,” wrote the website Ricochet. The alleged backlash to modern-day student protests even has a name: They’re calling it the “Mizzou Effect.”
