Not that long ago, The Mouse made the news for fucking over Alan Dean Foster on royalties - their argument was that when they bought up companies, they purchased the assets but not the liabilities. Which is not how any of that works.

Oh no, it’s absolutely a bullcrap excuse, and irrelevant to Chauvin’s culpability. I’m pretty sure that’s what the defense is going for, though.
IIRC, they initially tried to blame drugs for his death, rather than Chauvin’s knee on his neck. The ‘pattern of behaviour’ is trying to establish that this was a guy who probably popped unknown drugs into his mouth when the cops rolled up, and that was what killed him, not putting pressure on his neck for nearly 10…
I’ve loved sour foods since I was small. I ate raw lemons, and I drank vinegar (like, a paper cup’s worth at a time). I also, to this day, love a French’s mustard & old cheddar cheese sandwich on white bread.
No.
She was job hunting, wasn’t she? Maybe she locked down some promising interviews.
It’s about representation, not whether your identity is a 100% match for the role.
Except that the common understanding of what constitutes ‘firm [human] biology’, especially among TERFs, isn’t generally correct. ‘There’s XX and XY,’ except, no, there’s more than that. ‘There’s male and female based on gonads’, except those are neither mutually exclusive nor exhaustive categories. ‘Woman and men as…
One of the later patches to the game removed the need for multiplayer to unlock the high-point-value ending. I’m a completionist, but I was well in excess of the final point total, IIRC. I expect they’ll keep that allocation system.
I appreciate your optimism in these trying times. (This is not sarcasm.)
It’s been less than 40 years since Reagan’s last day in office, and the US just built on everything that asshole did. If past performance indicates future effort, it’s going to be at least a century.
True. I concede, I’m still trying to really internalize the fact that he doesn’t feel shame and thus can’t suffer the way I think he should.
Turd Blossom said “should”, not “will”.
“...mobilized a politically disaffected group of people...”
He’s always been a narcissist, he’s always been vindictive, and he’s always been kind of dumb. He’s just in decline.
I feel you. Then I remember Mitch McConnell.
I’m well aware that politicians generally try to appeal to (or at least not alienate) what they consider a solid, reliable bloc, and that tends to be older voters. You asked why young people didn’t vote in great numbers, and I offered an educated guess.
Something similar happened when I worked graveyard at a donut shop. It was a customer - a tiny lady with sleeves past her hands and turtleneck pulled up to her nose. Not really too weird, since it was winter on the prairie, but notable since she left it like that indoors. She came in with a big, mean looking guy; he…
It typically helps that retirees have buckets of free time, and I believe it’s midterms for a lot of college students. When your options are a 6 hour line to vote or 20% of your final grade, you’ll probably bail on a primary. Also, if memory serves, a lot of red states have done their best to limit the ability of…
IIRC, the ‘ageist’ bit is because of the age of the blastocyst/embryo/fetus. They’re saying that you wouldn’t consider murdering a child or an adult, but you’re fine as long as it’s younger than a newborn.
