Or where they make it seem like it’s a reply email or part of a continued email string.  Not cool that I have to hover over the email address sometimes to see if it’s a fake.

Mind you, it’s feigned ignorance for political purposes. Ted Cruz is as likely to say the same sort of b.s. first amendment comments about social media companies... even though he’s got a juris doctor degree from Harvard. He knows the difference. He just knows that his base does not know the difference and likes to…

That might not be about the same thing at all though. Everyone born in PR is a US citizen by birth. Someone born in TX can move to PR and someone in PR can move to TX without any trouble at all in terms of immigration. PR is even part of the US customs zone. (If you go to the US Virgin Islands, though, you’ll have to…

You literally can’t be a trusted source of information if you have been selling yourself as the one who will bring “free speech” to Twitter. The right was furious that blatant lies and conspiracy theories were flagged or blocked on Twitter and FB. If you remove moderation, how can you be the most trusted source of…

artistic expression is not an exception to defamation to my knowledge.  Putting a defamatory statement in a rhyming couplet will not immunize you from liability.  Also, it would almost certainly be filed in Canada, where he resides and where the defamation hurdle is lower.

But what would possess him to literally claim she lied about being shot when he wasn’t a witness? He doesn’t know what happened. He knows prosecutors and police have investigated sufficiently to confirm (to their satisfaction that it would result in a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt) it DID happen, which…

The important thing to note is (according to this article) the only allegation they bother denying is the racial one... not the climbing out windows or the being refused the use of the maintenance restroom or the UTI... just the part they can deny based on what they claim was in the head of Bezos, et al. when they…

More importantly, there’s no way a GOP President would have nominated him to the Supreme Court if he wasn’t supposed to replace the deceased Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, who was black. At that point, his skin was the #1 qualification in the eyes of that GOP President followed closely by his being a…

Anyone who wants to be on a panel like that should have their entire lives picked through with a fine tooth comb, because the only person who would want to spend day after day carefully examining and hearing testimony and cross examining all of the victims of rape and incest in their neighborhood are people who are…

Fame is simply part of the value an actor brings to a role to get people to pay to watch the movie. There’s one or two examples of a definitely unjustified discrepancy in this article, but there are several where it’s clear the male actor was substantially more famous and more likely to attract viewers than the female…

I read somewhere that he had used Twitter cleaning up the bot problem shortly before his offer as part of the basis for making the offer in the first place. If so, that was definitely just a fake excuse to try to back out... and the timing was to prevent a deposition he would have to give two days later and the…

Yeah I did a google search right after I posted that and then posted a follow up confirming I got it wrong.  It was for the full $44B.  Crazy.

Wow... ok I was mistaken. He’s an idiot. Bought it for $44B. Unbelievable. Either his attorneys did a terrible job with that contract or he failed to be completely honest with his attorneys from the start and let a critical deadline lapse that created an unwinnable case in court, where the ultimate result would have…

There was almost certainly a settlement. There’s about a 0% chance he paid the full $44B. His problem was twofold: they were trying to force him to complete the purchase (that’s what the lawsuit was about), and his pride would not let him admit he’d made a mistake and he couldn’t simply back out without paying a big…

“A probable cause statement confirmed that over the course of the last month, Carpenter had been harassing Hammond despite the fact that she repeatedly rejected his advances.” It looks like she said no repeatedly. The guy probably didn’t do it around the boss/management. The question is whether anyone told the…

He is absolutely NOT “essentially correct” if his “essential” point is that the higher mortality rates for pregnancy in the U.S. is all due to obesity. Especially, when his initial premise is built on first excluding the leading cause of mortality in pregnancy. He also didn’t say that obesity “can and likely will…
