Imagine inheriting the rights to draw an absurdly popular cartoon character because some third cousin twice removed you never heard about passed away.

This is the other thing about all this. It's not like there's a big, substantive affordability platform Democrats have all agreed on that we're supposed to be choosing instead of immigration, Trump's abuses of power and all the rest. People are just saying the word "affordability" right now.

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

Lots of people misunderstanding the Wikipedia-AI thing because of bad headlines. They’re not going to become inundated with slop; they went to the AI companies and said “Pay us for the shit you’re stealing.”
Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.
Hoping that @molly.wiki can help explain.

We have to take the phrase "Lost Media" away from YouTubers for awhile until they reeducate themselves on what that actually means.
