20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.

Artist Rachel Kenaston shared an email with me saying UnitedHealth Group filed a DMCA claim to stop her from selling a merchandise with HER artwork of Luigi Mangione. There was no United logo on the design, just Luigi.
How does that infringe on UnitedHealth IP or copyright at all?

We don’t talk about it enough in #ttrpg spaces but sometimes it’s ok to not let someone join your table as the DM, and there should be no further explanation needed besides that.

AYO! I've made my 1ST Starter Pack for Bluesky!
And I got plans for this list ! 😉🤗😇
Reminder: whether a person makes it on the list isn't a sign of me endorsing a person's views, but rather, an expression from me that I think it'd be interesting for me to play some games or chat on stream w/them!

Crashing out. One of my cats pissed in hidden areas overnight even though I just cleaned her box. I cleaned them all up and started getting ready to leave to catch a train which I’m now late for. She looks me dead in the eyes from her litter box and takes a fat piss. She just wanted to being a dick.

OK, BlueSky... Let's go!
We'll start with some miniscaled Ents 🌳
"[…] Hroom, hmm, come, my friends. The Ents are going to war. It is likely that we go to our doom. The last march of the Ents."
Goose bumps! Everytime. Same now. 🥰
