The courts have to start finding these people in contempt and deputizing people to go enforce those orders on behalf of the court if law enforcement won’t. The House won’t exercise its duty to be a check on the President. The Senate has barely made a few weak gestures. All that’s left are the courts. Well, and We The People.

didn’t i just see any new sandman season announced though?

I feel like we have to be able to separate artists’ bad behavior from our evaluation of the quality of their work.

Maybe there’s a time limit? Maybe they have to be dead so they can’t benefit from their work being sold.

Are there any non problematic artists/creators from 500 years ago who we nevertheless find their work product valuable to society today? What about science? Especially medicine with all the body snatching.

Neil Gaiman is almost certainly a sex pest based on all the women reporting. So I get not wanting to give him money. He hopefully gets it, too.

I like the suggestion of piracy as an approach…

welcome to the resistance, Marjorie

This is the inauguration all over again. This idiot thinks he has massive support from the people for his garish displays, until it gets close to time that will reveal how broadly hated he actually is, then either he or his team change things up to protect his fragile ego.

I’m very much against conspiracy theories, especially concerning our elections which are administered by many many independent entities. I was very concerned as I watched electronic voting machines - especially without paper trails - become more and more popular over the past 30 years. Even more as the industry consolidated and it came down to a handful of private, for-profit manufacturers.

The thing I’ve read about that is keeping the door of conspiracy open in my mind is the “drop off” rate, which has to do with the number of “President only” ballots, where only the President is chosen, and no down ballot votes are cast.

Apparently Trump’s ballots have an unusually high - like statistically unlikely - drop off. And it’s either only in or mostly in/more pronounced in swing states.

Even Chris Titus picked it up (3 hrs total, sorry)
