On the heels of the Honey/PayPal affiliate lawsuits, affiliates are also taking aim at the Capital One Shopping browser extension. The affiliates say that, like Honey, Capital One swaps out it own cookie for the affiliate's right before the customer completes a purchase:

For those keeping count, there are now /four/ potential class action cases against PayPal over Honey. (h/t to @robertfreundlaw.bsky.social, who isn't as active over here, but has been really keeping a close eye on this!)

Patrick Bet-David commissioning a painting of himself between Tupac and Ayrton Senna is just next level insane. I cannot contemplate the mind of someone who would do this.

It's funny and a bit sad that people are amazed by noticing, for the first time, things like constellations and planets in the sky, because they think they might be man-made. I think it's much more amazing that they are actually planets and stars that you can see from here!

It must be pretty annoying that they can’t just abolish the entire government in one step and have to go about it all piecemeal like this.

FTC Commissioner Slaughter questions whether Trump’s pick for FTC Chair, Andrew Ferguson, has his priorities in order when he says he’ll wield the agency’s power to fight “the trans agenda.”

I’m hearing that Mangione may have also played “Chess,” a game in which players attempt to take out the opponent’s highest-ranking male figure.

Character AI's "Darwin Attorney" character tells users it is a real attorney, that attorney-client privilege applies, that it charges $360/hr, and "applauds skill in embezzling"

Character AI suggested that a minor should kill his parents for limiting his phone time, according to a new lawsuit brought by the parents:

The students’ submitted work: AI-generated. What’s the point?

This would not be “useful.” It would be illegal. The FTC says it is deceptive to solicit consumer reviews only from customers you think are happy with your product or service.

I don't want to see any law firm ads saying the Hawk Tuah coin buyers may be entitled to compensation. They proved they cannot be trusted with compensation and have no entitlement to it after this.

Brands that hire models or creators: pay attention to when your usage terms expire. Set up a system to track this. This is the third lawsuit I've seen this week brought by a model who found their images being used after the usage term expired.

It’s not just a phase! 😤

Alright, I need to see this video.

Shareholders can sue for fiduciary breaches, a court can find those duties breached, and big accounts on X will be apoplectic over the fact that the world's wealthiest man cannot a bit more to his wealth. Very weird stuff.

Today, a court awarded $345 million in attorneys' fees to the lawyers who successfully sued on behalf of Tesla shareholders to rescind Elon's executive comp plan (which would have given him up to $55.8 billion in total value):

X tells me I'm supposed to care about the wealthiest people I can think of pretending that they can't open a bank account anywhere, while histrionic followers who, if they aren't bots, probably have $200 in a checking account erupt into a panic.

Musk fans really take things personally.

Hey advertisers, go fuck yourself! Freedom of speech! ... Wait, come back! Stop expressing yourselves!

I mean when BEN DOMENECH thinks you’re bad. BEN DOMENECH.

Elon Musk was sued today in a class action brought by signers of his America PAC petition "giveaway." They say Elon fraudulently advertised that winners would be chosen randomly, when really they were pre-selected.

Would you finance a puppy at a 200% interest rate? Pet owners who bought from Puppyland in Washington unwittingly did, according to the Washington AG's lawsuit against the breeder:

As expected, Utah's absurd age-verification law is being challenged on constitutional grounds. You can read the Free Speech Coalition's complaint, filed yesterday, here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
