Meta given 30 days to cease using the name Threads by company that trademarked it 11 years ago

Eh, unlike some of the other pretty blatantly frivolous lawsuits we’ve seen lately (such as the google chrome cast one) this seems pretty legit. They had a globally recognized company called threads that worked in the software industry and meta had made multiple offers for their IP showing they knew about them and still went ahead. Seems clear cut and Meta will likely have to change the name.

“What differentiates it from other wind solutions,” says Bernatets, “is that the wing is not just pulled by the wind and countered by the ship.” Instead, it flies in figure-of-eight loops, which multiply the pulling effect of the airflow to give what he calls “crazy power.”

“Plus, we fetch the wind 300 meters above the sea surface, where it’s 50% more powerful,” adds Bernatets. The combination “explains why the power is tremendous for a system that is very compact, simple on the bow of the ship, and can be retrofitted on any ship, not just new ships,” he says.

Trump Refused to Approve Wildfire Aid Until He Learned Affected Areas Were MAGA: Report

“This is Trump country — and they need your help,” DeSantis pitched Trump.

“They love me in the Panhandle,” the former president said. “I must have won 90 percent of the vote out there. Huge crowds. What do they need?” Shortly after the conversation took place, Trump signed an executive order commanding the federal government to cover “100 percent of the total eligible costs” related to the hurricane response.

Shortly before he took it upon himself to politicize the response to Helene, the former president threatened to withhold aid for natural disasters from Democratic strongholds.

“We won’t give him money to put out all his fires,” Trump said of California Governor Gavin Newson, a Democrat, in September. “And, if we don’t give him the money to put out his fires. He’s got problems. He’s a lousy governor.”

Seriously wtf

Judge dismisses Disney’s lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his allies | CNN Business

In dismissing the claim against the DeSantis appointees to the district’s board, Winsor wrote that when a law on its face is constitutional, plaintiffs can’t make free-speech claims challenging it because they believe lawmakers acted with unconstitutional motives

God this is so fucking dumb. That’s like saying that because the act of firing someone is legal, someone can’t challenge being fired on the basis of discrimination.

Winsor, who was appointed to the bench by President Donald Trump in 2019,

I honestly cannot understand what’s happening here? Like I think they are trolling republicans? They have some questionable ones that may make them conservative but I honestly can’t tell.
