ALSO. ALSO. Needing us to find Europeans who condemned him for his actions at the time--and there are many! So many! My God so many!--is also some white supremacist bullshit, because the TAINO PEOPLE HE WAS MURDERING CERTAINLY CONDEMNED HIM FOR IT AND THEY WERE HUMAN BEINGS OF HIS TIME TOO.

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

Have Anthony Rendon go to school to become an AC tech
Yusei Kikuchi told Japanese reporters after his final start— which he exited due to cramping — that because the weight room has no air conditioning, he always does his warm-up drenched in sweat. He wanted the Angels to fix the lack of AC, but they never did all season. 10:01 AM • 10/11/25 • 146K Views

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

Counterpoint:

You absolutely do not have to hand it to enslavers
Wilson: Now, one of the things I want to do is say: I’m really glad that slavery’s gone, and good riddance. And I want to say that the Southern slave owner, who read the books of Ephesians and Colossians and 1 Timothy and treated his slaves decently, remembering that he had a master in heaven who he studiously tried to obey — what Paul said slave owners were supposed to do — I would say he was not an orc, and he is part of the reason why slavery ended. In other words, I would say he’s a good guy.

Court also entered judgment that “Not Like Us” is a banger, and certified it as a bop.

Drake sitting there reading about how good the judge thought the song was and how everyone really enjoyed it
The song contains lyrics explicitly accusing Drake of being a pedophile, set to a catchy beat and propulsive bassline. "Not Like Us" went on to become a cultural sensation.

"The reasonable listener of 'Not Like Us' would conclude that Lamar is rapping hyperbolic vituperations."
“Not Like Us” is replete with profanity, trash-talking, threats of violence, and figurative and hyperbolic language, all of which are indicia of opinion. A reasonable listener would not equate a song that contains lyrics such as, “Ain’t no law, boy, you ball boy, fetch Gatorade or somethin’, since 2009 I had this b**** jumpin’,” with accurate factual reporting. Accordingly, the reasonable listener of “Not Like Us” would conclude that Lamar is rapping hyperbolic vituperations.

Rap beef should always be a subject of judicial notice. Find me a jurisdiction where this isn’t generally known!
joshuajfriedman.com
Joshua J. Friedman @joshuajfriedman.com · 5d
"The Court takes judicial notice" of press attention on the Drake–Lamar beef.
Additionally, it was not just the Recording which gained a cultural ubiquity, but the rap battle itself. In deciding this motion to dismiss, the Court need not blind itself to the public attention garnered by this particular rap battle. The Court takes judicial notice of the extensive mainstream media reporting that surrounded the release of "Not Like Us" and the associated feud between Drake and Lamar. See, e.g., Req. J. Not., Exs. B, C, P.4 Accordingly, the Court must consider the entire rap battle to assess whether the average listener would take Lamar's statements as objective fact or opinion.
