In case anyone wants to read it, CAS released their decision and… boy does it somehow only get worse the more we learn about this… https://www.tas-cas.org/fileadmin/user_upload/CAS_Award_OG_15-16__for_publication_.pdf

2024-08-15 01:03:00 +0000 UTCDisney is apparently trying to use a mandatory mediation clause in a Disney+ Eula to force a wrongful death claim due to allergic reaction into mediation

2024-08-15 00:56:28 +0000 UTCTo me, it's obvious that there is racism at work here. Maybe I'm just too American, but it seems very odd that right after the first all-black podium at the Olympics they try to take the Bronze back. It's truly an odd situation.

2024-08-15 00:16:25 +0000 UTCI really want to know the state of the Olympic agency, the IBA (international boxing association (seemingly corrupt Russian back org) and Imane Khelif Kind of an intersection between WTW and OA. Seems like there is ALOT of libel misinformation and deformation.

2024-08-14 23:24:20 +0000 UTCCan states really refuse to certify the election is we win and can trump subsequently be named the winner? It seems the way the electoral college is set, that the electors dont actually have to select the winner of that state, that its at their discretion?? Thom Hartman calls it the 'Silent Coup'

2024-08-14 23:18:17 +0000 UTCPlus, you dont see a medal stripped from an athlete unless they were caught cheating or something. Normally, the IOC had no problems issuing a second medal. So stripping Jordan of her bronze is HIGHLY irregular. Im not sure how often a refusal to re-investigate is, but the reasons for their removal has been proven to be false. It seems there is zero legal recourse

2024-08-14 22:12:51 +0000 UTCThis is actually just a follow up on a recent T3BE. If the guy with the *amazing* World Cup tickets had called 911 to go to the house, and then carried on his way to the game, would that have met the legal duty of care (if not the moral obligation)?

2024-08-14 20:42:46 +0000 UTCThis is based off my previous request: Can you explain the legality of this recent trend of anti class action lawsuit waivers many companies are now incorporating?

2024-08-14 20:38:28 +0000 UTCI've been wanting to hear analysis on Scofield v. Guillard (related to Idaho student murders). The interesting pivot of this case is a pro se defendent who claims her psychic abilities are being disctriminated against -- but also the amount of leeway that the Judge has been providing her at the expense of the plaintiff continuing to be defamed in filings.

2024-08-14 20:23:52 +0000 UTCAnother comment on the Disney lawsuit, just wanted to add that it would be nice to get a deeper dive into what exactly arbitration is, how it works and why companies like it so much.

2024-08-14 20:19:57 +0000 UTCThis topic could even be bigger than a rapid response if you like. A state constitutional amendment proposed on a primary ballot (thinking that more conservatives would vote) and worded in a way to intentionally confuse voters. Could be interesting to hear about plain language requirements that some states have

If they weren't chasing engagement or whatever other harebrained MBA metrics trying to be a social media bullshit, they'd be much better at what their customers actually want: facilitating payments to content creators.

2024-08-14 20:11:18 +0000 UTCJudge Merchan shot Trump down again (I should maybe work on my wording). I assume Trump's legal team will continue to delay by any means possible, but... What means have they left? Wasn't this something like the third time he shut this argument down? And isn't he complaining in this particular ruling about the arguments not changing? Can he hold these lawyers in contempt yet?

2024-08-14 19:55:35 +0000 UTCI second the Imane Khelif lawsuit, and also the Jordan Chiles desaster. What even is the Court for Arbitration in Sport? How weird are all the procedural issues? It seems like there was a big no-no with the judge guy representing Romania in other cases. It feels like this was a predetermined outcome from CAS and the IOC, but was it?

2024-08-14 19:46:58 +0000 UTCThink Kamala will actually be declared the winner if she wins the most swing states? I’m increasingly worried about pro trump election officials trying to steal it?

2024-08-14 18:54:20 +0000 UTCYou probably have better ideas, but I thought of OA when I read about some Vegas hotels searching rooms during the DEFCON hacker conference to look for "hacking tools" (🙄 https://www.404media.co/here-are-the-hacker-tools-a-def-con-hotel-is-hunting-for/ ). Apparently room searches have been normal in Vegas since the 2017 shooting, but I seem to remember a T3BE question about an expectation of privacy in a hotel room? I'm too lazy to go look up the details, I'm guessing the difference is you can expect privacy from the state but not from the corporation, but I thought the OA tie-in was interesting.

2024-08-14 18:52:05 +0000 UTCCan you do a surface level coverage of how Disney is trying to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit because the person agreed to arbitration when they signed up for Disney+. There isn't too much to report but it would be nice to acknowledge it since it is all over social media.
