Quick: someone remind Trumpo that "Israel" kills lots of Christians.

Trademark would be the applicable IP mechanism. Copyright applies to if you take a whole work, or significant portions of it, and literally copy that work. Trademark applies when you use a term, image, sound, etc. that is supposed to be emblematic of a particular brand, company, etc. IIRC it's mostly supposed to be about whether you are trying to pretend to be the "real thing", rather than any old use. So if the use is obviously in a completely different industry and used in a way that wouldn't make someone think, "this might be the trademark's owner doing this," then trademark probably isn't going to apply. Also, I believe the more such symbols are used without the alleged trademark owner attempting to defend their mark, the less likely they'll be to succeed.
When you beat it to women getting punished by the injustice system. Not even the tiniest bit surprising of a cop.
I can link to halfway through some long-ass video. But I think it's important for folks to know either way. We're going to be running into a lot more junk in the space of scamming people into supporting ChRisTian VaLueS and associated misogynist, racist, heteronormative, etc. policies. For example, it's related to other news about U.S. anti-abortion organizations now targeting UK liberal parties and their platforms.
Yep. I'm 100% with you on that. I was mostly commenting on LinkedIn's take on it, especially as it purports to be the social media platform of the JoB MaRKeT. What does it mean for it to be broadcasting this kind of message to people?
I haven't quite decided how to feel about this little LinkedIn "article":
AI may not have been behind tens of thousands of job cuts
Sweeping job cut announcements like the one by Amazon in recent days have been explained in part by the impact of artificial intelligence — but that hasn’t hit yet. While the company’s CEO warned earlier of AI agents replacing workers, the elimination of 14,000 white-collar positions appears to have been preemptive, CNN writes. The technology has yet to demonstrate productivity gains on a broad scale, and is more likely being used to excuse corporate belt-tightening in the face of economic uncertainty, especially around the impact of tariffs.
On the one hand they are doing a " 'AI' probably isn't replacing you" semi-apologia. On the other, they are actually being a little honest about both "AI" (in-)effectiveness and capitalist greed. (Also, gotta love "preemptive layoffs". LMAO.)
if Mamdani is unable to actually fulfill his police reform stuff
He's already "given up" on that. He apologized for anything negative he ever said about the police, made it extremely clear he won't go anywhere near their budget, says he has the utmost confidence in the commissioner's integrity (and wants to keep Tisch in the role, rabid zionism and all), and said he just wants to make their "job" easier. He's catering to the cops every bit as much to the zionists (not that there's much of a difference), and they obviously have nothing to worry about from his corner. Won't stop them from attacking him, of course, but what else is new?
Ah. Good to know. Thanks.
I've heard people are scared SNAP benefits are gone soon....
I'm pretty sure the SNAP cancellation for November is already a done thing. Probably they missed some deadline and aren't willing to BeND Ze RuLeS for the sake of people's tummies even if they do manage to re-open the goober mint soon. Go liberal bureaucracy!

Fair enough.
Was the MM thing not trademark? I'm pretty sure they trademarked the ear shape, at least.
