Last I had heard (and this may be outdated) is that you had to actively protect your copyright by looking for infringements. If that is still the case, then giving people copyright over their likenesses will only make women and children (or parents of children) have to troll these quagmires...

This is the biggest part. Twitter is making more money in advertisers than they are in paid subscribers. Even if all the paid subscribers left (which they won't, because they're the ones that are Nazis, pedophiles, and bigots), then it wouldn't make an appreciable difference so long as...

Well, you'll clearly never have a career in the NFL 😉

I mean, he included Duke Ellington in the list, so he's at least paying lip service to non-whites. I doubt it's anything more than lip service, and I doubt he could tell you a single thing Ellington has done. But he did a search for "famous historical Black American musicians" and he got the...

Welcome to the sisterhood. Women have long been accused of being hysterical, overly emotional, irrational, and a whole host of other--nastier--slurs every time we've predicted horrific abuses. See: every woman who was creeped out by Musk prior to all his overt Nazi, eugenics bullshit and before...

This is an interesting one and I would be fascinated to see some psychological studies done. As a woman who had two children and a miscarriage, I can say that we (women) are socially constructed to accept the blame for anything that goes wrong with the pregnancy. "What did I do wrong?" or "What...

This precisely was my thought. The wording of it was ambiguous (and I do not know if that is from the author of the article's doing or from the original study). We know without a doubt that since 2000 the general populous has shifted far more conservative/regressive. I posit that it's not that...

I can't imagine where they would get this idea from.

I'm curious as to--if this does make it to the SCOTUS--how they tailor the wording of both the suit brought and the ruling handed down (even if by shadow docket). Because abortion medication is but one contentious medication available. There is also medicinal cannabis that is legal in some...

What I would truly love to see is Colbert or Kimmel to book a GOP guest because the FCC says they have to. During the monologue that night, make it clear to the audience that they have the fascist apologist on only because the FCC is making them do it. Then have the questions be absolute...

I suspect you would have been downvoted less if you'd left off the last two sentences. As soon as you "both sides" it, you lose credibility on several politically charged issues currently facing our nation. Yes, pharma companies do price gouge. Biden had tried to negotiate that down on some...

Much like Mitch McConnell being solidified in his legacy as the one who corrupted the Supreme Court, I truly hope that Cassidy's legacy will forever be set as only the final say that led to the Pestilence Horseman gaining power.

I feel like the next Democratic administration (should we ever have that again) needs to look at all the companies that bribed this administration and penalize them. For ISPs, telco companies, and their ilk, it'll be easy: tell them they're now regulated utilities and their profits are...

I sure am sick of this gilding-the-turd trend. This is how the director's statement should have gone: "The new name reflects the Trump administration's abhorrence of renewable energy and a shift from that traditional focus for our laboratory. The new name honors the fact that we're based in...

I personally think that the binary nature of Hanlon's Razor has made it irrelevant now. I think we're safely at the point where it is both malice and stupidity/incompetence. Maybe not equal parts, but both are heartily represented. Ergo, both need to be attributed as the cause.

I'm not sure "coward" is the right word for Cassidy. I think it's "disingenuous toady". I have no doubt that he knew--knew--RFK Jr. was lying when he said he'd not go after vaccines in order to get confirmed. But he Susan Collins-ed it and went along because Big Orange Daddy wanted RFK Jr. in...

Yes! I really hope that Kenvue does file vexatious litigation countersuit because of this. Both Trump and RFK Jr. need to be named since they both specifically went on national television to damage the brand's reputation and use the government's force to harm them financially. If there is any...

This was my precise thought. We never see reductions of prices, even in ideal (or average) economic situations. US corporations and companies have the expectation of ever-increasing year-over-year profit margins. That's what US capitalism has ingrained into the system. Even if the SCOTUS rules...

Two years ago I got them both and prayed for death. Last year I got them both (at the same time, of course) and felt no different than when I'd get just one. I strongly suspect it's dependent upon the flu strain being vaccinated against. I always do Moderna for COVID, so that's the only thing...

From what I can tell, it's not mandatory for government employees to handle the travel expenses up front, but it's an option. Here's what I know for a fact from having a PHS Officer spouse who has to do CE to maintain his optometry license: 1) he can have the government fund all of it, where...
