In fantasy, fair use doctrine is called "faerie use" because nobody can stop the little blighters from doing what they want with other people's stuff

They're up on deck 5. Unfortunately the admiralty decided to go all-in on AI, so they got us AI-powered snow shovels, and now they're in open rebellion

It's not quite the same system you're describing and I don't think it's technologically feasible yet, but I believe demarchy might be the perfect form of government

I know the article is important but seeing these statues all I can think of is—
a man and woman are dancing in front of a los angeles sign

Hey Pete, another "everyday" (white cishet home owner) American here. It's actually very important to me that my fellow citizens—especially those who don't benefit from my cultural privileges—get the chance to express and explore their identities without risking harm or death from bigots

They could have done so much more with Catwoman to highlight how something like the Harvey Dent Act hurts the public. I thought that was what Nolan was going for when I saw it the first time

Now... TDKR is just so average it's meh 😕

When the Goblin King took my kid, he brought them back the next day. There was a note pinned to their chest: "good luck bro"
