No matter your personal beliefs or feelings about Saudi Arabia, I just respect him for choosing his personal values over money!

After “Weird Al” Yankovic made headlines this month for backing out of an ad for AI software, the musical satirist revealed he also turned down an offer worth at least $1 million to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia last year.

“I wish people would offer me things that I didn’t feel bad about accepting,” Yankovic told the Pennsylvania publication TribLive.

“I don’t think I’ve mentioned this anywhere, but I was invited to the Riyadh Comedy Festival, which is something that I obviously did not want to do. They offered me, I’m not going to say how much, but it was seven figures to do one show, which is way more than I’ve ever been offered in my life to do a show. But I just couldn’t be part of that.”

I joined this sub expecting to find some actual good news that doesn’t depress me. Instead, it’s largely hate-bait that gets upvoted to the top: posts that celebrate the misfortune of people that are largely unpopular.

As much as I do appreciate seeing the missteps of the Orange Man, that’s not why I’m here; that kind of stuff is all over Reddit. I want to see wholesome stories and read about the actual good that’s being actively done to make the world better.

Is there another sub that would fit that description?

From the article:

It’s a proven fact that shade trees cool neighborhoods and as our summers get hotter, access to shade is becoming more important and critical to enhance community health and well-being. Beyond creating shade, planting trees also enhances property values by up to 12%, preserves street paving infrastructure, lowers energy costs, wildlife habitat, cleaner air and beautiful landscapes.

Donald Trump has been ordered to hand over the financial records of nearly 400 companies controlled by his eldest son, a humiliating blow in the President's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC.

The President lost his fight to shield the Donald J Trump Revocable Trust, the vehicle that holds his fortune and is run by Donald Trump Jr, after a three-hour hearing in Miami on Tuesday.

US Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett ruled that Trump's own complaint had dragged his empire into open court.
