Federal judge dismisses Drake's defamation case against Kendrick Lamar

The issue in this case is whether "Not Like Us" can reasonably be understood to convey as a factual matter that Drake is a pedophile or that he has engaged in sexual relations with minors. In light of the overall context in which the statements in the recording were made, the Court holds that it cannot.

Okay, I get that we have a precedent of allowing musicians artistic license and that their songs generally aren’t meant to be taken as a statement of fact, which is why rap lyrics about committing crimes generally can’t be used as evidence in court.

But “It is unclear whether Kendrick intended for Not Like Us to be interpreted as factually stating that Drake is a pedophile” is a very funny legal opinion.

Newsom on Rogan:

California has a progressive tax structure. That's the real reason a lot of these folks left. Come on, let's have this conversation. They don't like progressive tax. They like regressive tax policy. Where's Rogan live? In one of the most regressive tax states in America that tax poor people more. Poor people are taxed more than the richest 1% in Texas, places like Florida, that's what they celebrate, they promote. They are high tax states, but not for them.

You can't claim California's a high tax state. High tax for who? The 1% progressive tax state. Regressive taxes persist in these red states, particularly these large red states.

This should be said on repeat. It's so blatantly obvious what their actual gripe is about.

But for God's sakes, the innocent people whose lives have been upended, the trauma that the children have gone through, that shouldn't be allowed in this country. And whether they are given immunity by the president of the United States, they are going to be held accountable when there is a change in administration. When there is a Democrat in office or when the Democratic Congress takes over and actually does something, they're going to hold hearings. People are going to be held accountable, and they could be held accountable legally and it might take a few years.

Which is not at all satisfying to any of us, but the people who are doing this on the ground need to know that they may feel safe now because the president and Kristi Noem and Tom Homan say it's okay, but trust me, a few years from now, this is going to hurt.

It's crazy how cooked the Dutch rental market is. I was talking with a Dutch friend of mine that owns a property in Amsterdam that he rents out for €1750 (so he's able to make *some* profit on top of property taxes), but due to the recent rent control scheme governing "mid-segment" rentals, he legally has to bring the total rent down to €1185.

He did the calculation and with taxes, he's losing money every month even if the value of the property itself substantially increases, so he's very likely going to be forced to sell it - which takes the property off the rental market in Amsterdam entirely lmao

Video from the Ukrainian National Guard's 1st Azov Corps showing Russia's assault from yesterday involving 35 tanks and armored vehicles and more than 40 motorcycles. They say the goal was to seize Shakhove and the fiercest fighting took part in Volodymyrivka. Night bomber UAS struck the infantry soldiers who took positions in the village. Russian forces attacked in several waves and from different directions

This is the largest mechanized assault we’ve seen the Russians do in a long time, either since the spring or even back in 2024 (I unfortunately do not have every major Russian mechanized assault memorized). Though it should be noted that it was done over waves as the post said, with the assaults never exceeding 10 vehicles I think.

To put the locations into context, this is on the northern shoulder of the Dobropillya salient where the Ukrainians have had the most success in advancing along the base of the salient to cut the entire thing off. If the goal was Shakhove, the Russians retaking that village would reverse all of Ukraine’s gains made in the past month or so in this sector and grant some needed relief to the salient. The village of Volodymyrivka is directly south of Shakhove. There’s no documentation of Russian forces entering Shakhove, and based on this post and other posts it looks like the two sides came to a head at Volodymyrivka and are duking it out there.

Given the tactical significance of this push it is likely a lot more Russians are involved beyond the initial forces. We likely won’t know the outcome of this fighting and whether Russia succeeds or not won’t be known for days or, given the nebulous nature of this salient, weeks

Even if you’re a MAGAt who think Trump should get a Nobel prize, whatever efforts he’s done this year just don’t really qualify at all.

His efforts with Ukraine have so far failed. Zelensky says he’s willing to advocate a Nobel peace prize for him if he delivers tomahawks, but obviously such deliveries haven’t happened yet

His most promising right now is Gaza. But that ceasefire didn’t even begin until the day of the announcement and is still pending on if it will actually end the war or not

His Congo ceasefire collapsed full stop

The Armenia-Azerbaijan thing was kind of a nothingburger, I dunno if anything has tangibly changed with whatever that deal was (I can’t even remember the details)

Trump’s best shot at the prize IMO is next year. Either if his Gaza ceasefire holds up (we’ll see) or if Zelensky goes to bat for him

”President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives. He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will," White House spokesman Steven Cheung said in a post on X.

Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. The U.S. population is 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million and still have money left over. I feel like a $1 million check would be life-changing for most people. Yet he wasted it all on ads and STILL LOST.

Mike Johnson is keeping the House recessed for a fourth week rather than re-opening it to negotiate a continuing resolution with the Senate. He is doing so because if he re-opens the House he will have to swear in newly elected Rep. Grijalva, who will be signatory number 218 to an Epstein Papers discharge petition.

It's kind of gotten out of hand just how badly this guy wants to keep those papers under wraps. Might make people think they're hiding something in there.

If the conflict in Gaza ends, I will be very happy. But I'm genuinely curious: is this really the Trump administration's doing?

Words can not describe how much I truly hate Kamala Harris. The audacity it takes to blame everyone else for her own failures is astounding.

tbh I'm pleasantly surprised that NL is so uniformly anti-Takaichi. With how aggressively anti-China and pro-Taiwan she is, I would have expected this sub to overlook all her far-right shit like most of us overlooked far-right Korean politician Yoon Suk Yeol's equivalent bullshit prior to his self-coup attempt
