Good catch! But have you somehow time-traveled forward into May? It's still April...

Right. Fox News Channel and other cable networks aren't regulated by the FCC, because they aren't over-the-air. And they don't have to fit into any official categories - whether news, entertainment, etc.

Uh, there are no agreements with authorities regarding news VS entertainment either. That's not a thing in the US.

Did Fox News Change Its Accreditation from 'News' to 'Entertainment'? There's a lot to unfold in this meme, including the fact that Fox News (and CNN and MSNBC) are not "accredited news stations" to begin with.

There's no licensing involved - for either news or entertainment. www.snopes.com/fact-check/f...

Still, sorry it happened to you!

Those adorable puppies would never! But the kitten halftime show does get vicious sometimes, & if any pet's going to defame someone, it would probably be a cat, right? ๐Ÿ˜…

We'll have to keep an eye out for any potentially defamatory meows. I bet Murderball could interpret them for Ken...

I got the same result.

Good questions! I'm 99% sure it's a bot account. Its replies seem very AI-like.

Translation from noir: The husband, who's wearing a baseball cap indicating that he's a veteran, gave Ken a nasty look.

Agreed! But they left Hulu a while ago. Deutschland 83 is still findable elsewhere, but not 86 or 89.

Fantastic series (or, well, an amazing set of 3 miniseries).

Only Deutschland 83 is on Prime (at least in the US); it's also buyable elsewhere.

Per the JustWatch & ReelGood apps, though,
86 & 89 aren't available for streaming or digital purchase at all, unfortunately.

Just saw this thread today, and going through it has been quite a ride!

Between his lawsuit threat and his sock puppet claims, this guy is definitely bringing back some memories...

Me too. I still remember my first road trip with my Creative Zen (when I couldn't figure out how to get it out of Shuffle mode).

I'm pretty sure I still have it in a box or drawer somewhere...

Something like that happened in (spoiler alert) an episode of HBO's space-set satire, "Avenue 5." The ejected body kept orbiting the ship, visible to everyone on board.

I'm betting they're filled with snarky and witty observations from all involved! Must be a great place to work...

Yeah, Winklevii has seemed to be the standard name for them ever since "The Social Network" came out (if not earlier).

Right. The election lolsuit era & the Threadnought were heydays for litigation disaster tourism.

These days, the truly nutty cases seem more sporadic & random. But they do keep popping up, especially with AI making inroads - as with this ridiculous suit. Glad to get to watch it unfold!

Same. IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that's not the outcome they were trying to get! Wouldn't surprise me if that's what the AI did, though...

X's new control lets only verified accounts reply to a post | TechCrunch X, formerly Twitter, has introduced a new control that limits replies to only verified accounts on the platform.

The ability to do that has been there for over a year. Most people just choose not to use it, unlike Elon.

The change seems to only be related to replies to Elon's posts, not everyone's posts.
