UMG responds to the dismissal:

In a statement to Billboard, a spokesman for UMG said: “From the outset, this suit was an affront to all artists and their creative expression and never should have seen the light of day. We’re pleased with the court’s dismissal and look forward to continuing our work successfully promoting Drake’s music and investing in his career.”

I'm part crying laughing about how funny this is, and part trying to scope out this grow setup because it is immaculate!

grand opening and grand closing on Blumhouse. Imagine a creative person so devoid of humanity as to say these things.

The buffoons who can't think without their mouth hanging open are the only people who think you can use humanity's current version of AI "ethically"

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

we actually killed a bunch of people for the right to sit down when we want. The people trying to force others to stand might want to read up on their history.

If you think a game about going after the KKK would be controversial due to the current political climate, it's a good sign you should make a game about going after the KKK.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

getting to kill klansmen as they tried to destroy the future of your family and community?! this is as good an idea as a AAA game studio has ever had.

Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

It's another stellar example of how Mike Johnson is a soulless ghoul who wouldn't know decency or humanity if they slapped him back to back.

Do you think the Dems unending support of ICE for twenty years didn't help them become this exact organization today? Support of ICE is bipartisan and it always has been. This is not the own you think it is. It just proves you only pay attention to what happens when a Dem isn't in office

the last four months of the Harris campaign was an attempt to get more central and court right wing voters. How well did it work?

The "stop calling them weird" advisors are the exact same people you'll have in charge of the next campaign with this kind of thinking.

Another huge L on the way.
