Protip: use the Jenny phone number for any loyalty programs you don’t want to sign up for. I use 512-867-5309 as the alt ID and it works every time.

The problem with schemes like this is that they imagine a world where the now orphaned kid gets adopted into a loving Hallmark movie home. The reality is that they will end up in foster care where the abuse and neglect will continue, just at the hands of strangers. Or mom will shack up with the next abuser and the dad will have no ability to intervene. Better to leave them with their biological parent who, while a complete scumbag, at least has genetic similarity to hopefully check their worst excesses.

TL;DR - fix the social safety net instead of dumb feel good laws like this one.

Fusion. I think it’s our only hope of making it through climate change without massive losses.

Yep that one is true as well. Paul is a vegetarian and didn’t want a song about non vegetarian food. He didn’t have a problem with parody in general, just that specific instance. Geez, I know way too much trivia about Weird Al :)

Edit: the song was created just never released.

That he does. The only snafu he had was with Coolio for Gangster’s Paradise. Apparently the label said yes but didn’t actually check with Coolio and he wasn’t happy about it. Weird Al apologized for the mixup and they made peace with it later. Weird Al said the only star that has consistently turned him down was Prince, who didn’t find the whole parody thing funny.

Nirvana famously said they knew they had made it when Weird Al did a parody of Smells Like Teen Spirit.

You ask for good news to help you feel better and then when I try to offer some you criticize it? You’re certainly not one of the helpers. Mr Rogers would not be proud of you. Go back to doomscrolling then.

It’ll mean all the movies are in the public domain as soon as they are released, since you can’t copyright AI work.

The guy on the left is so lazy he can’t even stand up straight to make his point. You got time to lean, you got time to suck cock buddy!

Nah, even my retcon explanation is a lie. I copied the quote from some famous quote website and didn’t catch the error.

See, even quotes with errors in them get upvoted before someone can come along and correct them :)

It was ever thus:

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.
