Trump calls for Harris to be 'impeached and prosecuted' at Pennsylvania rally
  • Immigration

    Which makes zero sense. What authority does anyone think she has in making any decisions about immigration policy? He's the one that convinced his allies in congress to tank the border security bill that had bipartisan support, in order to intentionally create a "crisis".

  • Artist is Suing Copyright Office For Refusing to Register His AI Image
  • There is no legally defined basis for "who gets credit." An artist is not a tool that you used to produce art. The artist produced the artwork. They own the artwork and copyrights (that is, the right to make and distribute copies) unless there is some legal arrangement that says otherwise. The fact that you paid them and told them what to do, by itself, means nothing in a legal context. That's why, if you're paying an artist to do creative work, or if you're an artist being paid to do creative work, you should always have a contract that defines, among other things, what everyone's rights are with regard to the final product.

  • Court revives lawsuit of Black pastor who was arrested while watering his neighbor's flowers
  • She clearly lied and wasted everyone’s time.

    That is false reporting. The problem is then you have to prove that she knowingly lied, and the police/DA are rarely interested in taking the time to do that. It doesn't "get criminals off the street."

  • Artist is Suing Copyright Office For Refusing to Register His AI Image
  • Normally, if you're commissioning a piece of art for commercial purposes, you would have some sort of contract with the artist that gives you the copyrights. Otherwise, the copyright belongs to the artist that produced the work, even if you buy the product.

  • California's 'click to cancel' subscription bill is signed into law
  • I'd like to say that companies will just make this the standard for everyone, like they did with California emissions standards for cars, but the reality is that it will be very difficult to take action against a company that doesn't have their headquarters in California. This isn't like GDPR where a large federal government will fine you into oblivion if you fail to comply while doing business in their jurisdiction. A lot of companies will probably just ignore this.

  • Mark Robinson, endorsed by Trump for Governor of North Carolina, called himself a “black Nazi,” endorsed slavery, and described spying on women in public showers in porn forum comments: report
  • Presented with the details re: how CNN determined the comments came from him, Robinson responded: “I’m not going to get into the minutia of how somebody manufactured this, these salacious tabloid lies.”

    Sure, buddy. Somebody in 2008 spent 4 years writing posts on an obscure web forum using an account registered to your email address, just so they could have a "gotcha!" moment when you decided to run for governor over a decade later.

  • Earth will get a second "mini-moon" for 2 months this year
  • The closest approach is about 600,000 Km away. That's more than twice the distance to the moon. At that distance, to be (just barely) visible to the naked eye, it would have to be about 170km across, which would put it among the largest asteroids in the solar system. In fact, 2024 PT5 is only about 11m across (~36ft). You would need quite a powerful telescope, indeed, to see an object that small at that distance.

  • The Associated Press: Days after posting mugshot of a boy accused of school threat, sheriff puts video of 2 teens online
  • Here's what happened at my daughter's school last week:

    • Child 1 made a sarcastic remark to child 2, suggesting that child 3 might bring a gun to school the next day.
    • Child 4 overheard the remark and reported it.
    • Police showed up, in full force, at child 3's home. Child 3 had made no such threat, did not own a gun, and had no idea what was going on.
    • The district assured everyone that there was no credible threat.
    • Social media blew up with distraught parents wanting to know why the school hadn't been immediately shut down and everyone notified, kids arrested, etc.

    If police made the identities of any of these children public knowledge, their parents would be rightfully pissed off and well within their rights to sue for damages, because I assure you that those kids and their parents would be made social pariahs and would probably have to leave the district, even though the only thing that happened was someone made a very ill-advised joke that someone else overheard and took seriously.

  • Secret Service: Suspect in apparent assassination attempt did not have a line of sight on Trump, never fired his weapon
  • To be completely fair here: the reports are all saying that Trump's location that day was not public information. So either this guy got real lucky to show up on a day Trump was playing golf, or else he had some information that very few other people had. Okay, granted, Trump plays golf a lot, so it could just be a coincidence. Still, it would be kind of ironic if it turned out someone in his own campaign was leaking info to the crazies.

  • Beware this fatal design of automatic litter boxes from ali express or amazon or similar - they can be DEADLY
  • There are several options out there, and most of them don't have a failure mode that could potentially harm your fur babies. They just stop working when something goes wrong. The one in the video has a design that is just inherently dangerous.

  • California inmate's wife who was sexually violated during strip search wins $5.6 million in settlement, lawyers say
  • After traveling four hours to see her husband at a correctional facility in Tehachapi, California, on Sept. 6, 2019, Christina Cardenas was subject to a strip search by prison officials, drug and pregnancy tests, X-ray and CT scans at a hospital, and another strip search by a male doctor who sexually violated her, a lawsuit said.

    What the hell kind of facility is this? Are they holding Magneto in the basement?
