Even funnier, some spreadsheet users don’t even realize you can do math inside them. When Robinson and his wife hired a contractor to build their house, the guy showed them a spreadsheet of costs–but then whipped out a calculator to tote up the figures manually. When Robinson showed him how the spreadsheet could do it automatically, he was floored. | |

A funeral ceremony for murdered American rapper Markelle Morrow, popularly known as Goonew, is being seen as a creepy event after fans had a rude awakening that his body was used as a prop on stage. Photos and videos from the event hosted at a nightclub in Washington DC have left netizens freaking out online.
A dance party called “The Last Show” was hosted at a club, at bliss, on Sunday to honour Goonew, who was killed last month after being shot at in a District Heights parking lot. The venue itself left people baffled and many said they were “feeling sick” after discovering that it was his embalmed body on the stage wearing designer clothes and a crown.
The event was organised by the rapper’s family and friends as his going-away party. Videos posted by several attendees on social media showed people singing and dancing as the singer’s body was on display. | |

NEWTOWN — Four Sandy Hook parents who won two defamation suits against Alex Jones in Texas last year have sued him, claiming that he “transferred millions of dollars from his fortune” to shield his assets from them.
“During the defamation cases, the Jones debtors doomsday prepped for these eventual judgments by diverting assets,” reads a lawsuit filed this week in 200th District Court in Austin, Texas by the parents of two children who were slain in the Sandy Hook shooting.
“This fact is only confirmed by the jaw-dropping amount in transfers the Jones debtors made during the defamation cases. In 2021 alone, the Jones debtors transferred from Free Speech Systems tens of millions more than it cost to operate that year,” the lawsuit reads. “These transfers started just four months after the last appellate court decision was issued that allowed the defamation cases to proceed.” | |

The Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general and his top aides directed staff members to remove damaging findings from investigative reports on domestic violence and sexual misconduct by officers in the department’s law enforcement agencies, according to documents obtained by The New York Times and two government officials familiar with the inquiries.
One investigation found that more than 10,000 employees of Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Secret Service and the Transportation Security Administration had experienced sexual harassment or sexual misconduct at work — more than one-third of those surveyed, according to an unpublished draft report dated December 2020.
The draft report also described a pattern of the agencies using cash payments, with payouts as high as $255,000, to settle sexual harassment complaints without investigating or disciplining the perpetrators. But senior officials in the inspector general’s office objected to that finding, suggesting in written comments that it be removed from the report, which has never been published.
The inspector general, Joseph V. Cuffari, also directed his staff to remove parts of another draft report showing internal investigations had found that dozens of officers working at the agencies had committed domestic violence, but that they had received “little to no discipline.” Mr. Cuffari also wanted a section removed that said the agencies had “put victims and the public at risk of further violence” by allowing the perpetrators to keep their firearms; including such findings, he wrote in an internal memo, would make his office look like it was “second-guessing D.H.S. disciplinary decisions without full facts.”
The internal documents were first obtained by the Project on Government Oversight, an independent watchdog group in Washington. The organization brought the information to The Times, which confirmed its authenticity with two government officials familiar with the investigations. The draft report on sexual misconduct notes that fieldwork for the inquiry ended in October 2019, but the agency has not published the findings. | |

Conservative state lawmakers across the country are considering new legislation that would bar teachers from introducing concepts of sexual orientation or gender identity to young students, imitating a new Florida law that opponents have dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
Lawmakers in Ohio and Louisiana have filed legislation that mimics the Florida law, signed last month by Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). In Texas, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R), who controls the state Senate, said he would make his state’s version of the bill a top priority in the next legislative session.
The specifics of the measures vary between states, but they largely contain provisions that mirror the Florida law. The bills would bar schools from using curriculum that includes topics about sexual orientation and gender identity.
The Louisiana version would bar educators and school employees from discussing their own sexual orientation or gender identity with any student through 12th grade. | |
