  "a similar endeavor on Disney’s part to legally excise John Oliver out of HBO" Why would they even try? They'd just sue for copyright/trademark infringement. Ayyadurai was trying to destroy Techdirt. Disney has no interest in destroying John Oliver or his show or HBO.

  American police (and a lot of other police) are out of control. No politicians have the ovaries to face them down :(

  A number of republicans have mistakenly told people the wrong date to vote, and much mockery was made of this because, well, it only helps the other side. Oh look, even tfg did it in 2016 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2016/oct/12/donald-trump-tells-supporters-to-vote-on-wrong-date-video Cindi Hyde Smith did in 2018 https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/gop-senate-candidate-tells-supporters-wrong-date-to-vote-for-her-1376603203984 And Trump Jr did it repeatedly: https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-jr-got-election-day-wrong-2018-10 Was Ms Wong making fun of that kind of mistake? Almost certainly. Was she serious? Not a bloody chance.

  That sounds completely fake. If Biden had said anything like that, there would have been a nine-alarm response from the reich wing media. In fact he has gone out of his way to say nothing about the indictments, for that very reason.

  The Mouse has been known to come after people decorating walls with Disney characters in homes hosting kids' parties. They really don't care when it comes to Ameros.

  Disney has been getting away with this bullshit for decades.* But god forbid a German court should rule unlicensed reproduction of art is a copyright violation. Them damn furriners are the unenlightened copyright maximalists, right? In other words, mote and beam, chums, mote and beam. *I am utterly against the current copyright time limits, or their expansion. You won't get any sensible discussion about it though while Disney operates in any form.

  I'm going to propose the idea that they said they were using an AirTag - which seems ill-suited to this purpose - instead whatever they were really using.

  Musk has the absolute right to be an incompetent hypocrite in running his own company. Americans (though not Australians) has the absolute right to mock the everloving crap out of him for it - and to take their business elsewhere because he's (a) loathsome (b) useless (c) embarrassing or; (d) all of the above Please note, none of this has anything to do with fucking cake, trans people, gay people, black people, people with or without physics degrees, people with or without superior intelligence, Ron DeSantis, doxxing, Elon's fucking het, or censorship. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

  "get a list of governors senators and congressman from both political parties" Here's a thought - how about you do that and get back to us with it?

  Little Matty should watch his mouth because that kind of libel is likely to be defamation per se But Stephen, you might still have a problem, because I don't know if you can sue a child for defamation. You might be able to sue his employer, but I don't think you'll be able to serve Uncle Vlad without a lot of help from the military.

  "The fact that you fail to see these nuances in my position proves my point." Mate, I say this with love, and as someone who recently made the same mistake: Don't you have better ways to spend a weekend than arguing with this ignorant turd?
