• On the post: Hillary Clinton Joins The Chorus Of Ignorant Pundits Insisting Section 230 Must Go

  Hillary Clinton is on the right-wing side of neoliberalism. She is more invested in the preservation of the regime than the will or best interests of the American public.

  I had her as my state's senator. I can confirm what you said with over 9000% clarity.

  If your [sic] a politician running for office, it is a reasonable assumption that you understand the laws and frameworks in place.

  But Hillary isn't a politician running for office. She ran and lost in both 2008 and 2016, and was the first lady from 1993-2001, The US Senator for New York State from 2001-2009, and the Secretary of Defense from 2009-2013. She's basically a Politica Emerita now. She's no longer going to run for president after her humiliating loss to Trumpy in 2016. That being said, this is actually worse, because even with all this experience she doesn't see anything that was actually good she and her husband did and wants to exacerbate the evil she and her husband did.

  and yet another

  I forgot the year, but there was once a google doodle where you would zoom in on google maps and play pac-man with it. IMHO, that was the best April Fool's gift from Google.

  That's two times I agree with Gorsuch!

  So the first time I agreed with Gorsuch is on Native American Tribal issues. The second time is this, when he's fed up with Kacsmaryk's bullshit. That's not to say I'm a fan of Gorsuch or anything like that, but strange times make for strange bedfellows (and I don't mean in the way some of our trolls want to fuck Elon).

• On the post: Updated: Take-Two Opposed Trademark, But Settled It

  Having worked for a Take-Two company…

  When I was testing a Where's-Waldo-like minigame in TwoDots when I was working at PlayDots (the studio had been shut down since January 13, 2023), I was worried since in the minigame, there were recreations of copyrighted artwork of Réné Magritte and Salvador Dali. I asked it it was © infringement, and I got word from Take-Two's legal team that it was fair use. So I have a feeling that Take-Two knows what they're doing, legally speaking. They may not have the acumen of Nintendo, but they have a good legal team. That being said, they did take down a game called NotGTAV for trademark infringement. I mean, seriously, the game is literally called "not [big AA game]"; how the fuck will I think it is [big AAA game]? The name was changed to "notthenamewewanted" and eventually delisted from Steam, but the damage was done. So my conclusions? My former employer is being a bully rather than fools. That being said, I wouldn't trade my time working for them for anything (especially since one of the employee perks were free Steam and Nintendo Switch codes for Take-Two games!)!

  Considering the other bills the Justin Trudeau administration passed vis-à-vis the Internet, I think this is going to go down a very dark road.

  You say the owner is "anti-Semitic" when he is, in fact, Jewish and has been on the receiving end of anti-Semitic abuse (in fact, the most anti-Semitic thing I ever heard in my life was directed at him). Get fucked, clown.

  corporations running landlord businesses buying up all the residences and charging exorbitant rents has got to stop sometime as it is getting untenable.

  Of course, it becomes a problem when said corporations own the government…

  Do tell what this “heavy-handed response” would better have been.

  I don't know, SOMETHING OTHER THAN KILLING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT CHILDREN, perhaps?!?!?
