IP lawyer folks, I'm curious (for non-professional reasons). On the topic of copyright protection for game rules as such have there been any legal developments since the Bang!/Legends of the Three Kingdoms litigation back in 2014?
State of law as I recalled it was generally only literal words, art, etc. were protected *but* there was movement that a suit against a comprehensive clone of another game could at least survive SJ.
Hey, #lawfedi, can you help me find an obscure citation rule?
I need to cite my own article for something I'm writing. I'm positive I've heard that self cites require a special citation. So, what's the special rule for bluebook citing a secondary source you wrote yourself?
I can't find it, and now I've misplaced my bluebook too. :(
@StevenBeschloss #assassinationcoordinates I love that deep blue sky
@kairyssdal Reading the article, it appears the person involved was a known Grimes stalker with some pretty serious delusions. I hope he gets some help.
@islandsky @marcelias @democracydocket Lake was out yesterday with her "Lock 'em up," "Tyranny," "Supreme Court," BS yesterday, so this probably won't put an end to her BS
The American people have a right to know the name of every elected official who plotted to overturn the results of the 2020 election on #Jan6 or impose martial law.
The rot at the core of the far right runs deeper than #DonaldTrump.
@macroliter @freemo It's likely not a legit poll. Elon was at the World Cup today, and his investors purportedly indicated that he should find a suitable CEO and step back.

The Twitter Berlin Wall just went up.
Im glad to be here in West Mastodon, under the careful leadership of Prime Minister #JohnMastodon, but we still need to help our friends and family stuck behind the wall escape.
(And that includes blocking/banning/defederating the malicious actors coming along with them.)
Every day of Twitter news that comes out I get happier and happier with this shirt. Thanks @chancerydaily
@StevenBeschloss Figures Jar-Jar was there. No one is having anywhere near a good time. Maybe the guy sneaking a tall rum & coke...

#rorygallagher is the most underrated, unknown guitar god of all time.
The name is how I always understood the line from #T-Rex #bangagong instead of the actual "diamond star halo."
