His name was Robert Paulson.

“There was poison in the air, and on the ground, and in the window sills, and in your air conditioners and covering your pets and your clothes, and it stayed there for months. Everyone knew. Now it’s very clear that the city knew as well,” Stewart said.

Wait wait wait… no… so it ain’t so Jon. Rudy Gulliani, Americas Mayor… is a lying piece of shit?!?

Oh no, we need to encourage Zuck to keep going! It’s been a string of failures one after another lately, he could tank the whole company at this rate.

Don’t let the haters win Mark! You’re a genius! NFT’s are due for a comeback, you could corner the market if you reinvest!

You’re going full keyboard warrior in this thread despite acknowledging Rowlings bigotry. They are children books, no one needs you to defend every plot hole, racist caricature or political grievance she decided to include. You’re an adult, why are you putting this much effort into defending a terrible person and her terrible writing?

Surely you have better things to do. There are better books to read. There are better authors to stan.

Charlton Farm Produce owner David Addison said that Abbott’s consumption of the onion “put us off guard a bit”, and that “I mean, I’m an onion grower, so occasionally I see people eat them. But you don’t really expect the PM to walk in, bite on an onion and eat it, leaf and all.”

And of course, the video.

Honestly looks like something from a cheesy superhero. Poor man, but fascinating image.

Video of the ad.

It’s such a gross concept. Wild anyone thought this was a funny, gotta be pretty deep in bro to not see red flags.

Dear leader says food and fuel is cheap! We love him!

Dear leader says it’s gulf of amercia! We love him!

Dear leaders trade war isn’t hurting farmers! We love him!

Dear leader says it is Lake of America now! We love him!

Dear leader says he isn’t a pedophile! We love him!

Yes. :/

There were other similar things he did but those are harder to talk about. This memory is just so absurd that it feels less personal.

In his ruling, Hittner mentioned Dolly Parton, whose death was announced Tuesday, and criticized the law’s definition of banning performances that “[appeal] to the prurient interest,” citing people who would chastise Parton “as a voluptuous sex symbol because of her big hair, flamboyant clothes and breast exposure.”

“There are ‘erotic’ elements in countless popular performances that could be subject to both civil and criminal penalties under S.B. 12,” he wrote.

One of the plaintiffs in the case, a drag queen who performs under the name Brigitte Bandit, impersonates Parton in her performances. Bandit celebrated the ruling on social media Tuesday, posting a screenshot of the decision and captioning it, “Drag is free speech, bitch.” She announced she would also perform as Parton, who gave her a rhinestone guitar as a gift in 2023, at an Austin bar Saturday in her honor.

Even from the grave, Dolly is making the world a better place.

When I was 15 or so I get home from school and get a AIM message from an account I don’t know claiming to be a girl at my school who has a crush on me, but too shy to reveal who she is. Which was weird all by itself because I didn’t use AIM often.

At first I’m delighted, but she quickly becomes sexual. Talking about masturbating to me in very explicit detail. I get freaked out and stop responding. Which prompts an angry phone call from my Dad saying the account is messaging him now and bothering him at work. How she got my account info wss confusing, but i didn’t even know my dad had an account.

So I respond a few more times, and very quickly “she” starts sending me porn, which then turns to sending CSAM saying I need to masturbate to it too. I’m freaking tf out and block the account. Which prompts another angry phone call. I tell my dad I don’t know this person and tell him to just block the account to stop him getting bothered. He calls me a pussy and hangs up.

When he gets home, I tell him that the account was sending me freaky stuff. He stomps over to the computer, opens an terminal and typed a long string of characters that returns our IP address. “If it happens again, do this and we can catch this freak”. He then abruptly closes the window before I can even read what he typed, much less remember it. He slams his bedroom door and that’s the last I see of him for the night.

Took me a long time to fully understand and accept what happened that night, but I never looked at my dad the same again. There were a few more odd situations where he put CSAM in front of me or sent it to my step-dad getting him fired. But he died before I gathered the courage to confront him.

Don’t try to chat up women at night. There is no scenario of a strange man being interested in me while it’s dark that I’ll be receptive to. It’s impossible for your line to be so good I’ll stop seeing you as dangerous.

When you’re one of the numerous groups being demonized and persecuted by fascism then advocating for your own rights isn’t an choice, it’s a necessity for safety. Indifference is a privilege.

True, which sucks. All your suffergates and labor union heroes were anarchist. It’s decades upon decades of propaganda demonizing legalized equality as essentially rioting. We only have a 5 day work week because of anarchism.

It honestly is onion style satire.

The collector was listed for $18 on Liquid Death’s website and quickly sold out. Despite the campaign telling customers to send the contents to “the data center of your choice,” the company includes a disclaimer making it clear people shouldn’t actually mail their pee.

It is also an easy way to make $18.

and no conservative

Well it’s more than that, a core tenant of anarchism is opposition to heirachry. Seeing others as subhuman could not be further from that ideal.

think of as people

Super weird that you’re on anarchist instance.

Well, I don’t want to argue so it seems like we’re gonna have to agree to disagree. But I do feel like you are misunderstanding how trademark works.

Trademark only protects against customer confusion, not other projects becoming popular. Reasonable people looking for the band who instead find links to the movie are not likely to think the movie and the band are the same project or brand.

Look at the examples from the patent office .

When a consumer knows what goods or services you offer, what other goods or services might they reasonably expect you to offer?× For example, if you sell hot dog buns, a consumer may expect you to sell hamburger buns and loaves of bread.

It’s irrelevant that the movie is now showing higher on search results. The relevance of trademark will apply to other touring bands selling music under the name Demon Hunter, or names like “D. Hunter” / “Demons Hunted” or if the movie characters were styled after the IRL band, they might have a case. But an all male metal using Christian imagery and prayer band is quite different than a fictional all female pop band that does dance fighting. The content of the 90+ minute film is sustainably different than the content of 3-4 minute religious metal song.

However I’ve said my piece and I don’t wish to belabour the point further. Time will tell who wins, but according to actual mechanics of trademark law the court will only rule for the band if they can show reasonable people confuse the musicians for a movie, which I think would be an unrealistic accomplishment.
