Okay, fine, here’s a drawing
Sorry I don't have a funny drawing of Mickey Mouse swearing for this one, just pretend I do
The problem with the DMCA and modern copyright law is that widespread access to computer technology gave common people an unprecedented ability to discover and create and share all sorts of ideas and information and media without the involvement of monied interests, which threatened corporate power.
In reaction to this, they've started cracking down on free access to information and are destroying an unimaginable amount of irreplaceable media. So, so many books and movies and games and albums and works of art can only be found on unofficial archives created by people that want to preserve history or allow access to foreign cultures unless you want to spend a lifetime searching for exceedingly rare, expensive, out-of-print, rapidly decaying artifacts.
The Peasants taught themselves how to read, and the Powers That Be have started burning books in response.
#copyright#fuck disney#not the main point here but still. fuck disney is an appropriate sentiment no matter the occasion

I think it's kinda funny how chuds get so worked up over """wokeism""" spreading when every day feels like the momentous dawn of a new golden age for treating women and queer people as subhuman

This entire trial is gonna be a massive sham, every step of this is just a complete bastardization of due process. They're gonna find him guilty without any semblance of a real trial because they want to make a gruesome example of him. They don't care about whether or not he's actually the guy that did it as long as he can be used to send a message.
The US government is not and should not be treated as an entity that acts for anything other than the interests of oligarchs and Nazis at this point.
Remember Luigi is currently innocent

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST NOT AGAIN
In July, the bird flu spread from dairies in Colorado to poultry farms. To contain it, two poultry operations employed about 650 temporary workers — Spanish-speaking immigrants as young as 15 — to cull flocks. Inside hot barns, they caught infected birds, gassed them with carbon dioxide, and disposed of the carcasses. Many did the hazardous job without goggles, face masks, and gloves. By the time Colorado’s health department asked if workers felt sick, five women and four men had been infected. They all had red, swollen eyes — conjunctivitis — and several had such symptoms as fevers, body aches, and nausea. State health departments posted online notices offering farms protective gear, but dairy workers in several states told KFF Health News that they had none. They also hadn’t heard about the bird flu, never mind tests for it. [...] Farmworker advocates also pressed the CDC for money to offset workers’ financial concerns about testing, including paying for medical care, sick leave, and the risk of being fired. This amounted to an offer of $75 each. “Outreach is clearly not a huge priority,” Boggess said. “I hear over and over from workers, ‘The cows are more valuable than us.’”

Don’t let Chrome’s big redesign distract you from the fact that Chrome’s invasive new ad platform, ridiculously branded the “Privacy Sandbox,” is also getting a widespread rollout in Chrome today. If you haven’t been following this, this feature will track the web pages you visit and generate a list of advertising topics that it will share with web pages whenever they ask, and it’s built directly into the Chrome browser. It’s been in the news previously as “FLoC” and then the “Topics API,” and despite widespread opposition from just about every non-advertiser in the world, Google owns Chrome and is one of the world’s biggest advertising companies, so this is being railroaded into the production builds.
Use Firefox.

Referred to as “the Dusseldorf patient” to protect his privacy, researchers said he is the fifth confirmed case of an HIV cure. Although the details of his successful treatment were first announced at a conference in 2019, researchers could not confirm he had been officially cured at that time.
Today, researchers announced the Dusseldorf patient still has no detectable virus in his body, even after stopping his HIV medication four years ago.
