We donated about $1000 to a member earlier on and then $500 each to Andy Lee and Sheldon.
The third nominee was the Coutts Three and it turned out that that the way to contribute is to their lawyers who also defend a wide range of freedom-related suits. Somehow I never got around to sending them the money and about then Stripe stopped paying out the money due to new government regulations and forms that I had difficulty filling out because they assume this is a business, which The Lions definiotely is not.
I'll have to look at that again because it looks as if we have accumulated some money to donate. I hate government forms.
Getting Stripe working again will also make it easier for people who want to subscribe because I think credit cards might work again, although I never have figured out how the coins and credit card thing works and there have been a number of changes. It appears that some people have figured it out anyhow.
I'm not particularly fond of how Locals operates but that's what we have. When I vist other Locals, I find that in the ones I looked many or most posts are for paid members only, making them useless to me because I can't afford to pay for each site just to see what's in there from time to time.
I'm happy that The Lions is almost entirely open to everyone. I think, though, that non-paying subscribers may not be able to participate in the comments and sometimes that's the most interesting part of any post.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments or PM me if you don't have access to comments.
And, thanks to those who post interesting things here, things we might not see otherwise.
As 50,000+ bureaucrats, lobbyists and politicians jet into Belém to tell you to “cut back,” we’re sending Sheila Gunn Reid and Kian Simone to show the luxury, the VIP perks — and Canada’s role — that the UN doesn’t want you to see.

Not just Climate Alarmism and Gender Nonsense anymore.In a nation once defined by hard work, innovation, and shared prosperity, Canada is sleepwalking into fiscal and social ruin under the banner of performative “reconciliation.” We’ve seen the warning signs globally: companies like Bud Light hemorrhaging $1.4 billion in sales after its ill-fated Dylan Mulvaney campaign alienated core customers; Jaguar’s cringeworthy 2024 rebrand pushing electric cars and “inclusivity” that bombed so hard it was scrapped amid plummeting stock; Harley-Davidson retreating from DEI mandates after backlash from riders who just wanted motorcycles, not lectures. These weren’t isolated fumbles, they were self-inflicted wounds from chasing social justice optics at the expense of reality. Now, Canada is the latest casualty, with “woke” poli...
