On the heels of the Honey/PayPal affiliate lawsuits, affiliates are also taking aim at the Capital One Shopping browser extension.

It's funny and a bit sad that people are amazed by noticing, for the first time, things like constellations and planets in the sky, because they think they might be man-made.
I think it's much more amazing that they are actually planets and stars that you can see from here!

I don't want to see any law firm ads saying the Hawk Tuah coin buyers may be entitled to compensation.
They proved they cannot be trusted with compensation and have no entitlement to it after this.

Brands that hire models or creators: pay attention to when your usage terms expire. Set up a system to track this.

Shareholders can sue for fiduciary breaches, a court can find those duties breached, and big accounts on X will be apoplectic over the fact that the world's wealthiest man cannot a bit more to his wealth. Very weird stuff.

Today, a court awarded $345 million in attorneys' fees to the lawyers who successfully sued on behalf of Tesla shareholders to rescind Elon's executive comp plan (which would have given him up to $55.8 billion in total value):

Elon Musk was sued today in a class action brought by signers of his America PAC petition "giveaway."
They say Elon fraudulently advertised that winners would be chosen randomly, when really they were pre-selected.
