per Wikipedia

On September 21, 2022, Allen submitted an application to the us copyright office for registration of the image. Prior to the first formal refusal, the Copyright Office Examiner requested that the request would exclude any features of the image generated by Midjourney. Allen declined the request and requested copyright for the whole image.

So what I'm getting from that is his Photoshop edits aren't significant enough to constitute a copyrightable work on their own and the copyright office was right to deem it a non-human production.

This is absolute hogwash

Alex Jones literally did exactly this, proclaiming himself above left/right politics while consistently presenting far right views to a largely far right audience.

It's so funny to see Alex Jones present himself as above left-right politics despite constantly spewing far right BS.

Why this specific instance of Rittenhouse exposing himself as bloodthirsty when there were many more instances before it?

Is there some "fifty flags" rule before you can say they're planning to murder people?

Between this, JD Vance's "racist lies for the greater good" stance and the right's desire to make it illegal for doctor groups to endorse evidence based medicine for trans people the GOP has just gone into full fascist propaganda mode.

Google and Apple have come out against legislation that would broaden sideloading rights for smartphone owners, citing security and reliability concerns.

Fuck off google.

The bible more directly endorses war rape:

Deuteronomy 21:10-14 ESV

When you go out to war against your enemies, and the Lord your God gives them into your hand and you take them captive, and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and you desire to take her to be your wife, and you bring her home to your house, she shall shave her head and pare her nails. And she shall take off the clothes in which she was captured and shall remain in your house and lament her father and her mother a full month. After that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

"What this advertising boycott is going to do is it's going to kill the company, and the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company and we will document it in great detail," Musk said.

No need, you making twitter toxic to advertisers and the resulting fallout is already very well documented.

Also Republicans: "this violence is the result of us not beiing Christian enough as a nation"

Also also Republicans: saying the above while being from a state in the union that's both one of the most Christian and most violent in the nation.

Separation of church and state is both the first amendment and a clause in article six of the constitution:

First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

article six

no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Thomas Jefferson's use of the words "separation of church and state" was to explain the purpose of the first amendment specifically but the actual legal text of the constitution is worded broadly enough to cover not only separation of church and state but separation of mosque/synagogue/ect and state rather than singling out Christianity.
