We don't always need to taint Michael's memory with the molestation mess. Let's recall some magic. I saw Michael Jackson during biblical times, when TV was spelled 'television' and still a technological miracle, so I was actually startled when during Smooth Criminal, he suddenly defied gravity by leaning at a 45-degree angle. (7:05)

I wasn't a dumb little kid, so I knew it was some sort of trick. But here's what I found out:

With two partners, Jackson filed for a patent for “Method and Means for Creating Anti-Gravity Illusion.” The method used a pair of shoes with a slot in the heels and a retractable peg on the floor. Hook the slot on the peg, you could lean as far as you wanted.

Story Idea:

22 year old Gotham University student Danny finds a Damien clone whose near death and saves his life, offering to let the kid stay with him in his crappy apartment. The clone accepts, thinking Danny seems like a tolerable chump to bide his time with as he builds his strength for another fight with his progenitor for his rightful place as heir to Batman. Danny absolutely 100% knows the kid’s a clone and that taps right into his childhood trauma, making him want to protect him all the more. (Up to you if Dani is alive but in my version she’s not). Over time, Clone!Damien becomes begrudgingly fond of his new caretaker, especially after Danny starts taking him on Doctor Who style adventures through time/space and the tamer parts of the GZ (there are none) as part of his efforts to build up the kid’s confidence (outside his overcompensating ego) and help him learn to grow into his own person.

Bonus!

Danny and Clone!Damien are the downstairs neighbors to none other than Jason Peters (aka Jason Todd). They both clock him as Red Hood pretty quickly, but it takes much longer for them to connect him to the Waynes, so he’s kinda just their marginally more normal neighbor who happens to be a crime lord and who, for some reason, tends to check up on them a lot. (Originally this was because RH thought Danny might be an upcoming villain, then because he didn’t understand how Danny was alive, and then Clone!Damien moved in and he started checking to make sure that he didn’t murder Danny in his sleep). Luckily, Jason is a fantastic cook, so they are both grateful (to varying degrees) for his nosiness. (Is this a Dead on Main situation, are they just good friends? Who’s to say? You. Or me. But probably you.)

#danny phantom #dp x dc #damien wayne #jason todd #dc x dp #dead on main #dani phantom #potentially #Damien’s clone who has yet to pick a name #throughout this Danny dresses suspiciously like a supervillain #he’s got the wild hair goggles a sleeveless lab coat big ol’ boots too big for his feet #he makes a modest income off a handful of patents and is attending the university under scholarship #(it’s the Wayne secret anti villain scholarship that they use to monitor possible enemies/allies and help them before they go dark)#Jason has no idea how Danny managed to buy the apartment below his considering that he owns the whole thing and wasn’t looking for renters #he just appeared one day with moving boxes and all the proper paperwork #apparently he exploited some old as balls property laws to get his hands on the place #which is honestly sad #Jason has much better apartment buildings he could have gone for #the plants are a nice touch though #really liven up the place #almost cover up that lingering stench of death

Next time we invent life changing technology we cant let capitalists get their hands on it

#thinking abt the guy who officially trademarked thw cool S #but instead of financial reasons he did it to preserve it. W move #yapping #once in a while I will remember how we could use AI and automation to reduce risk and injury in dangerous jobs #like harvesting resources. and instead its a buzzword for dumb shit like chat GPT and art theft #or how in a darker timeline insulin wasnt patented for a dollar as lifesaving medicine and we would be so fucked

So today a lot of people are freaking out that Nintendo is gonna go trigger happy with suing other companies via a metric ton of new gameplay elements from Tears of the Kingdom getting officially patented.

Turns out that Nintendo already goes out of their way to register patents on every single game mechanic they can, not so they can prevent anyone else from using them, but to protect everyone else from frivolous lawsuits.

Got this interesting bit from a Reddit post:

On top of not being fucked over by someone else registering the patent, they can also protect the entire industry by doing so. By having a patent on it but not suing other companies, that actually means other companies can use the said technology/mechanic without the threat of being sued by other patent holders who only seeks to abuse their patents. By doing this, the game industry can thrive by not being restricted by patent too much. This isn't just Nintendo, for example, Capcom also holds patents for a lot of patent on gameplay mechanics on fighting games, but they allow other companies to use it without licensing, because that makes the whole industry and the genre grow. It's like the unwritten rule of the industry since the early days of the industry in Japan. Now, Konami didn't receive the memo that this is the unwritten rule, and abused their patents especially on their rhythm game genre--and the end result is that while they are dominant in that genre, the genre itself is very much small. One of the bigger cases where Nintendo actually sued another company for patent infringement was against Colopl, which patented touch screen gameplay mechanic very similar to how Link is controlled in DS Zelda games. Colopl went on to sue other companies using similar gameplay styles, and Nintendo sued them saying that Colopl's own patent is infringement of theirs. So what really happened was basically Nintendo telling other companies that they were fine with other companies using their gameplay mechanics as long as they didn't try to patent them and abuse it on other companies.

And as John Oliver once covered, there are greedy assholes out there who go out of their way to abuse the patent system. People really do make frivolous patents just to wheedle money out of others.

Sure, Nintendo's still a multi-billion dollar company and it's not like they've never done some questionably scummy business practices, but yeah. The higherups actually like playing games from other companies. They want the video game industry as a whole to keep going and they don't want to be the only ones doing it.

#nintendo #direct outrage where it's needed #sure it sucks that nintendo even has to do this #dang patent laws #but they're using their powers for good here #i was today years old

people love to act like they’re doing a public service by announcing that everyone’s ‘delusional about Jaime’s redemption arc’ or whatever and then spout the same tired arguments that reddit bros have been pushing for years. like y’all have no interest in this character except to denigrate him, and then want to pretend that what you’re contributing is meaningful discourse rather than the same ‘anti’ shit you complain about your own faves receiving. if you want to discuss Jaime, by all means engage the fans who have been writing thoughtfully about him for years and would welcome the discussion. but please stop pretending your hundredth ‘jaimes an irredeemable bad man who wanted Elia dead personally :/‘ post is anything but a paper thin reading designed to be contrarian. if he is so uninteresting to you please just go back to talking about the characters you do like and do have meaningful contributions for - something that I personally have never found difficult to do

#it’s so hypocritical I’m sorry but like I don’t care how many words you can write about Jaime #it is patently clear to the rest of us that you have not read his chapters properly. or have but are so locked in your bad faith readings #that you shun everything that could possibly contradict you #asoiaf

I figured out why none of the fanart of Coronabeth Tridentarius seems right to me, it's cuz she looks like my friend Audrey who sat two seats over from me in torts class my first semester of law school

Audrey is the second-most physically attractive person I've ever seen in my life (first place goes to my appropriately-named college friend Helen, who I know mostly from burlesque club) (it was a lot, guys) so I really understand where Gideon was coming from. Like if Audrey asked me to participate in an inadvisable sword fight against someone way more practiced than me I would totally do it

#tlt #the locked tomb #coronabeth tridentarius #@ obies did y'all see Helen perform at all? it would've been your senior year #relatedly (comma) two of my coworkers (girls a lil younger than me) followed me on insta yesterday #after I followed one of them so I could post her eclipse pic and credit her #and they were apparently both scrolling through my posts and texted each other at the same time last night #cuz they got to my college burlesque posts and went 'oh shit'#keep in mind these girls know me as the assistant county attorney #when you get down to brass tacks (comma) I am their lawyer #they are used to me going to court and answering really specific legal questions about federal land patents #I am currently first chairing a lawsuit that (comma) while technically against the county (comma)#is really against their boss #and they look at my insta and see what I looked like stripping on stage in college #it was hilarious tbh #I spam

hello.

I have returned from the trenches of Twitter to inform yall that there is an effort to mobilize against Johnson & Johnson's decision to extend their patent on a life-saving tuberculosis drug. Renewing this patent will prevent millions of people from accessing life-saving care.

If you would like to learn more, watch this video:

If you would like to do something, you can make memes, @ J&J on social media, and report your concerns here:

He's just a baby playing with blocks. Look how proud he is for stacking them so neatly. Look at the way he turns around for recognition, for someone else to get excited with him, to give him one of those big fake baby gasps and say 'good job!'.

He's just a baby. He doesn't understand what's going on. 😭
