Lawyers for Hunter Biden plan to sue Fox News ‘imminently’
A letter obtained by NBC News says action is pending because of Fox’s alleged “conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Mr. Biden and paint him in a false light.”
Lawyers for Hunter Biden plan to sue Fox News “imminently,” according to a letter sent to the network and obtained by NBC News.
The letter, dated April 23, puts the Fox News Channel and Fox News Digital on notice for litigation claims arising from the network’s alleged “conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Mr. Biden and paint him in a false light, the unlicensed commercial exploitation of his image, name, and likeness, and the unlawful publication of hacked intimate images of him.”
Biden has hired attorney Mark Geragos and his firm to represent him in the Fox litigation efforts. The letter is the second outreach to Fox this month. An earlier letter was hand-delivered to Fox’s counsel two weeks ago, and the network asked for more time to respond, according to a source familiar with Biden’s legal efforts. The network has not yet responded to the letter sent April 23, which included a Friday evening, April 26, deadline to respond, according to Geragos. The letter is signed by Tina Glandian, a partner at Geragos & Geragos working on the case.
Fox News did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The new threat of litigation comes almost a year after Fox News agreed to pay almost $800 million to Dominion Voting Systems to settle defamation claims related to Fox’s airing of election fraud claims in the 2020 election. Fox News also agreed to a $12 million settlement with a former employee who alleged she was pressured to provide misleading information as part of the Dominion case.
Fox is currently facing a $2.7 billion lawsuit brought by Smartmatic, another voting system company that was the focus of Fox News coverage, as well as suits brought by shareholders against directors of the company for allowing the channel to air the allegations during its 2020 election coverage. Fox said in its latest financial disclosures that it will contest the lawsuits, but acknowledges that there could be a “material” adverse impact on the company’s business and financial position.

hilarious if he made more money off of Fox News than any of his supposed “schemes” in Ukraine or China.
I have some old sales brochures from AT&T/Bell that show old phones and the expected new generation (including video phones).
Interesting to see how things have evolved from those early predictions. No clunky CRT for video, systems are insanely more compact, etc.
I’ll admit it was fun testing the latest prototypes of cell phones and services. Well, except the time I broke a $30,000 prototype Nokia phone. Oops.
One side effect is that after spending years designing/testing bleeding edge tech, I have no desire to have the latest and greatest phones. Had my fill of playing with the latest tech.

Hundreds of Columbia anti-Israel protesters defied the 2 p.m. deadline to vacate the campus tent camp as it expired on Monday — and vowed the stay and even escalate their actions against the university.It was not immediately clear if the Ivy League school would once against call in the NYPD to remove students from the $90,000-per-year campus.
About 200 students encircled the tent camp, while some remained in it and all of them chanted anti-Israel and anti-Columbia slogans. Outside the school gates in Morningside Heights, dozens of anti-Israel protesters rallied and chanted “globalize the intifada” as the deadline ticked down.
At some point you almost expect his lawyers to state that Trump is just a “Free President traveling the land” and submit a bunch of bunk paperwork with his name in lower case.

i’ve been testing the trough for the last week. it’s watertight. no leaks.
saturday we moved it into place.
originally it was gonna be integral with the other cross-rails
but it’s 16 feet long and developed a wicked warp
(im not really much of a woodworker)
plus it wouldnt have been high enough for gravity to facilitate the return water flow
so instead i’ll put the rails back and the trough will sit behind it like a window box, peeking up about 3 inches.
here’s the before
and the temporary after
i kludged up the plumbing so we can play with the flow to get it just right
the inflow pipe coming out of the filter tower on the right will run through a piece of bamboo. to hide it and it’ll look cool
the return pipe on the left you can just see at the bottom of the tall post will be buried and empty out over a spillway rock at the pond edge
More to come

Sigh. For the first several years of my retirement I listened to music on earphones whilst mowing the miles of fairway on my private disc golf courses. I truly enjoyed singing along very loudly to Bruce, Wilburys, Petty, et cetera. I figured that the noise from the mower kept anyone else from hearing my loud singing and it was good lung exercise.
Sadly, a couple of years ago my wife informed me that, no, it is not true that others can’t hear me and that she could hear my strangled sounds over the mower from at least 800’ away through trees, sometimes further!
I miss my loud singing.

It should come to no one’s surprise, but Texas’ indicted felon Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit in his favorite handpicked courthouse to overturn Title IX regarding President Biden’s expansion announcement to cover federal protections for LGBTQ+ students. This very likely will come before the same judge who currently has a case in front of the US Supreme Court in an attempt to ban the drug mifepristone nationwide.

The quantity, prominence and tone of the reporting are creating the perception that a series of not-exceptional or unprecedented campus anti-war protests represent a crisis that requires intervention by administrators, police and politicians.
…….
I’m focused on the moral panic angle here. They’re always so dumb and destructive.
We are witnessing a picture-perfect example of a moral panic.
All the elements are there: The marginalized folk devil (Palestinians & their supporters); the stereotype (don’t care about Palestine, just want to kill Jews); the threat amplification by institutions, media & pols; and efforts to leverage that exaggerated threat into greater social control.
Not surprised at all.

re: #5 Dangerman
Operator, give me number 32Oooh, is that you, Myrt?
My husband, as a young man in the 1950s, moved to the town where I still live, and the phone system was quite a small one, with the operators in a second-floor office overlooking the town square. Anyone could call the operator, and ask if she had seen their husband-wife-hired man-the doctor-the vet. She would say, yes, I just saw him entering the hardware store; want me to ring him there? Charles loved that. We did use one of those heavy suitcase style telephones that were the first mobile units, which were really great in emergencies on the farm. And I couldn’t live without my smartphone in my pocket. But there is sure something special about calling the operator over the town square, and asking her to tell a husband to bring home an extra can of tomatoes!

Jeff Bridges Returning for ‘Tron: Ares,’ Says De-Aged Character in ‘Tron: Legacy’ Looked ‘More Like Bill Maher Than Myself’Jeff Bridges is going back to the grid.
The 74-year-old actor told the Film Comment podcast (via The Playlist) that he is going to appear in “Tron: Ares,” the third film in the long-running sci-fi franchise that Bridges inaugurated with “Tron” in 1982 and reprised with “Tron: Legacy” in 2010. The new film stars Jared Leto as the titular character Ares, with Joachim Rønning (“Maleficent: Mistress of Evil”) directing from a script by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne.
“I’m heading off this Saturday to play a part in the third installment of the ‘Tron’ story,” Bridges said. “Jared Leto is the star of this third one. I’m really anxious to work with him. I’ve admired his work.”
“Tron” is best known for pioneering the use of computer generated imagery, which was used to create the digital world of a video game after Bridges’ character, Kevin Flynn, is zapped inside one. In the sequel, Flynn is trapped inside a much more sophisticated version of the game by his digital double, Clu, who was also played by Bridges and digitally de-aged using CGI.

OAN Retracts Article Regarding Michael Cohen Story About His Alleged Affair With Stormy Daniels And Extortion Plan
OAN today has retracted its March 27 article entitled “Whistleblower: Avenatti Alleged Cohen Daniels Affair Since 2006, Pre-2016 Trump Extortion Plan,” and is taking it down from all sites and removing it from all social media. This retraction is part of a settlement reached with Michael Cohen. Mr. Avenatti has denied making the allegations. OAN apologizes to Mr. Cohen for any harm the publication may have caused him.
NO PERSON SHOULD RELY ON THE MARCH 27 ARTICLE OR THE ALLEGATIONS CONTAINED THEREIN.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Ralph Fiennes To Star In ‘28 Years Later’ For Danny Boyle And Sony Pictures
EXCLUSIVE: The new 28 Years Later trilogy from director Danny Boyle and Sony Pictures is gaining momentum, and some serious star power. Sources tell Deadline that Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes have boarded the first pic, a sequel to the original 28 Days Later.
Boyle is directing the first movie from a script by Alex Garland. Sony will release the film in theaters globally.
While plot details are vague, the original 28 Days Later in 2002 centered on a bicycle courier (played by Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to discover the world had been overrun with zombies following the outbreak of a virus. The pic grossed more than $82 million worldwide and led to a 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later, on which Boyle and Garland served solely as EPs.
Deadline recently broke the news that the studio has already tapped Candyman director Nia DaCosta to helm the second part of the trilogy, and that the plan is to shoot both films back to back. As for the three newest cast members, the studio is clearly showing it means business, adding star power instead of going the lesser-known-actor route like in previous installments.

Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) “has been making a point lately of telling voters that he doesn’t support a nationwide abortion ban,” the HuffPost reports.“But the Pennsylvania Republican is hoping nobody notices that he’s signed on to legislation in Congress for the last seven years to impose a near-total nationwide abortion ban ― and he’s still a cosponsor of this bill.”

re: #112 PhillyPretzel ✅
Hamas was the one who rejected the past three ceasefire and hostage release proposals, even after Israel gave in more to their demands due to Biden’s pressure. Based on the latest there’s a LOT of pressure from Egypt and Washington on both Hamas and on Qatari mediators to get Hamas to agree to the current proposal.
re: #111 Patricia Kayden
Am I crazy to believe that this could all be ended with HAMAS releasing the hostages?
I also cannot help but wonder how much Putin may have discretely egged on this calamitous situation in the ME through Iranian and Syrian proxies to create trouble for
Biden. I’m sure he realizes that upsetting Muslims in Michigan, for example, could lose the election for the incumbent. I understand the frustration in the Muslim community, but seriously, Trump would be WAY worse for the Palestinians.
re: #117 (((Archangel1)))
I agree. Hamas has to do what the diplomats are requesting and they have not.
re: #111 Patricia Kayden
Am I crazy to believe that this could all be ended with HAMAS releasing the hostages?
Not at all crazy.
However, the scenario you outline depends (entirely, IMO) on there actually being any hostages to release - alive, anyway.
Which, sadly, is not a given.
The incompetent ahole Netanyahu government is essentially stuck between dueling domestic pressures for the release of hostages - either via a deal or via a military operation in Rafah. On top of being Hamas’s last stronghold, Rafah is where many believe the majority of the hostages are being held captive, including the three hostages Hamas released videos of in the past week, among them US citizen Keith Siegel who was abducted on October 7.
As it looks now, a decision will be made within the next 48-72 hours. If Hamas accepts the deal, it’ll go forward. If it rejects a deal for the fourth time, the military operation will almost certainly be launched.
Welp, any plans I had for riding off into the sunset on my share of the Columbia Pipeline Merger Litigation settlement are dashed—I got 63 cents.

Any chance of Haniyeh et anybody getting kicked out of Qatar?
I didn’t think so.
I’ve been thinking about Trump’s non-existent campaign, and have come to a couple of possible conclusions:
1. he doesn’t have the money to run an actual presidential campaign. either because he’s been skimming from the campaign or because his donors are tapped out
2. he (or his campaign team) has figured out that as long as he is out of the spot light a lot of voters kind of forget how much they don’t like him and so his numbers get artificially inflated. while the truest of true believers still follow him on his twitter rip off. this isn’t entirely a bad strategy, but because he lacks self control he can be easily bated into dumping it by Biden saying he’s lazy/scared/not up to the challenge.
3. he is in real cognitive decline and the campaign is trying to hide it by keeping him off the campaign trail. this makes sense given the number of times we’ve seen him be the living embodiment of the Apple spinning pinwheel during a speech. but at some point it is going to happen in front of everyone (at the convention, at a debate) and nobody will be able to ignore it
4. it is some combination of the above. this is kinda where I’ve settled. it seems a strange place for a presidential campaign to be, but it is also such a weird election in general I guess it makes sense for them to do something unorthodox

Being forced to sit in a courtroom all day should do wonders for his cognition.
Speaking of which, when does the trial get going again?
In this document, we review the current scale of the hunger crisis in the Gaza Strip, its short and long term impacts, Israel’s conduct with respect to this issue and the legal implications of this conduct. We rely on the most recent figures and data available.
Based on various reports from international bodies about the situation in Gaza and on testimonies gathered by B’Tselem’s field researchers, we unfortunately conclude that for months, Israel has been committing the crime of starvation under international law in the Gaza Strip.
