No, because as always it's about the money. I looked it up and it was a C&D against them for using the name, and they want a percentage of the money the game has made. Rockstar told them to gently caress off, because it's fair use.

Either way gently caress those union busting assholes.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

quote:

UK lawmakers rejected a move to support a second referendum on Brexit by 334 votes to 85. It’s a blow to campaigners for a so-called People’s Vote

The cross-party proposal was the first time the House of Commons has held a formal vote on whether to endorse another referendum.

also, in local news

quote:

HARTFORD, Conn. – Gunmaker Remington can be sued over how it marketed the Bushmaster rifle used to kill 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, a divided Connecticut Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
Justices issued a 4-3 decision that reinstated a wrongful death lawsuit and overturned a lower court ruling that the lawsuit was prohibited by a 2005 federal law that shields gun manufacturers from liability in most cases when their products are used in crimes.
The plaintiffs include a survivor and relatives of nine people killed in the massacre. They argue the AR-15-style rifle used by shooter Adam Lanza is too dangerous for the public and Remington glorified the weapon in marketing it to young people.
Remington has denied wrongdoing and previously insisted it can’t be sued under the federal law.
The majority of the high court agreed with most of the lower court’s ruling and dismissed most of the lawsuit’s allegations, but allowed a wrongful marketing claim to proceed

At least the article ends on a positive note:

quote:

Protests broke out earlier this month after an appeals court in Bologna nearly cut in half the sentence for a man who admitted to killing his partner. The court cited as one of its reasons for the reduction the “emotional storm” of jealousy that the killer experienced.

Not quite at Texas's level of "killing a prostitute who accepted your money but tried to leave your car without having sex with you is justifiable self-defense" but still a strong showing on the misogymurder leaderboards.

Yeah, this.

Also pod save the world is one of the best pod casts out there. It is bringing real national security and International Relations news and information to the masses. People who otherwise wouldn't really know. It also does a great job of showing how Trump's actions are harming national security. Which is something podcasts like The Cypher Brief, Spycast, etc sometimes have a hard time explicitly saying.

I agree with the idea that the DSA/Rose twitter people are out there winning elections but the actual number of rose twitter brigade people winning elections is significantly smaller than the number of rose twitter brigaders that endlessly circle jerk or circular fire squad themselves.

Like, I agree that DSA members on the ground actually doing stuff are loving killing it right now and are getting some amazing work done, but you also get a ton of dipshits on twitter that throw roses in their handle and contribute nothing but easy dunks and circular firing squads to the conversation at large.

I mean even Natalie Wynn (contrapoints) has called it out,
