YES! Please, creative people, register your designs, words, music, photographs with the copyright office. It’s inexpensive and NECESSARY if you want to take legal action.

This wouldn’t fall under fair use. Especially if she had the design copyrighted, which I hope she did. And she has the email exchanges. Fair use my ass.

The plastic bag that someone left in my bike basket because they’re too lazy to put it in a garbage can is a badder bitch than Taylor Swift.

Ding ding ding. It’s a miracle he hasn’t been called out yet. The rumors around him have been fierce for years.

Lauer’s wife had ample opportunity and reason to leave for years and she cho$e not to. Sorry if I feel no love lost for her.

Long awaited? By who? Who are the morons who actually see these films? Wasn’t there one released a week or two ago that was a total bomb with Wonder Woman in it? For the love of all things holy, stop making these piece of shit comic revivals.

ALLLLL the way from Wisconsin in the Midwest to Mizzou in the Midwest? 7.5 hours. I hope she packed a snack for the LOOOOOONG drive down.

Thank you. I had to stop reading half-way through.

Thank God about Captain Marvel. I was jus thinking, “Jeez, it’s been ages since we’ve had a Marvel movie.”

Actually, if you’re cooking it properly, it isn’t cooked for long at all. The “slow and long” approach is what ruins it. You’re suppose to roast it same as you do a chicken. And dear God, don’t baste it. Do. Not. Open. That oven door.

Don’t sweat it. It seems many people on this thread don’t understand the economy, the real estate market and the larger forces at play. The problem is not people buying vacant, run down houses and fixing them up to sell. The problem is that we’ve had stagnant wages, dying industries and skyrocketing education costs…

Oh, I didn’t read that part. Can you link that article?
