As for public domain, that could be successfully argued using their numerous attempts to give it to the public. Which is very much what erecting a monument on state grounds is. Educate yourself.

Yes, the statues are similar

Why not? This artist has a right to retain ownership of his work, and to be compensated for that work if someone else chooses to license it. The fact that they’re a religious organization and the artwork depicts a religious symbol is irrelevant.  Netflix is illegally profiting off of someone else’s work without…

They aren’t copyrighting all depictions of Baphomet. They have a copyright on that very specific depiction of him. The statue in the show is a 1:1 replica of a piece that was originally commissioned by the temple.

I am loosely connected to the people who made the statue originally, and I can tell you that the thing is massive, took a very long time to fabricate, and was made with great care. It’s an art piece more than anything. It is truly mind boggling that the Sabrina producers thought they could just copy the whole thing…

Preteens just repeat the things they hear around them. It’s completely unreasonable to hold things against them years later. That’s even true of things like arson and armed robbery (which most justice systems in the US believe are juvenile court matters and should be remained sealed.)

I’d never heard of this guy until today, and he deserves to be smacked in the face for that haircut alone, but I’m having a hard time coming up with any fucks to give about what someone tweeted when they were 12/13 years old. Do people really have nothing better to do with their time?

I got about 3 episodes into this show and just couldn’t continue watching. Everything Megan describes here is accurate based on my limited viewing (“fluffy” is right). The campy 1950s nostalgia made me feel like I was watching a play at times and I guess that’s what Sherman-Palladino was going for? Not my thing but…

Idiot

Why is a sworn officer of the law in the backseat of his car with a sex worker? What possibly could a sworn officer of the law want with someone in that situation? Would this law enforcement professional be in the back seat of his car with someone suspected of burglary or assault? No, he wouldn’t. Andrew Mitchell is…

Uh, no, it’s not. You don’t have to be a botanist to harvest mushrooms. FFS. What a world we live in. 

Saying that a writer got an important and very simple fact wrong - when it’s his job and the job of several layers of editors to not get important and very simple facts wrong - isn’t an “ad hominem attack on an irrelevant detail.”

That’s weird.  Your map shows current voting machines in Washington State, yet Washington State went to all mail-in ballots years ago. In fact your map even show the area in which I vote has new machines and I’ve been all mail-in for at least 10 years.

The only logical explanation that could possibly explain why Russians did not change votes in Georgia is to somehow believe an international cabal of hackers got into the system, found instructions, voter registrations and passwords to voting machines and yet somehow decided not to do it, just because.

Referring to the Russians as “the Soviets,” repeatedly, is a pretty good indicator that he has no idea what he’s talking about.

The repeated use of the word “Soviet” when referring to Russia is strong circumstantial evidence that this is the case.

For once, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Haters gonna hate. This season was great, and Thandie Newton is everything.

That argument would hold water if Crowley ever came back to his Brooklyn address. But given that none of his NY neighbors have ever seen anyone go in or out of that address, it just proves that Crowley really resides in Virginia. 

Crowley, his wife, and his kids have lived in Virginia since 2004.
