Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced legislation on Tuesday that would strip “woke corporations like Disney” of special protections enabling companies to hold copyright material for decades.

The Copyright Clause Restoration Act would limit copyrighted material to 56 years and apply the new rule retroactively, meaning Disney and other companies could immediately lose some copyright protections if the law were passed.

The measure is the latest Republican attack on Disney, which last month was stripped of its self-governing status at its amusement park in Orlando, Fla., after Gov. Ron DeSantis took issue with the media company for speaking out against the state’s “Don’t Say Gay” law, which prohibits the discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade.

Hawley’s bill goes after Disney’s long-running list of iconic characters stretching from Mickey Mouse to Marvel superheroes.

So you agree that Republicans have been giving handouts to Big Business prior to this?

I finally finished these!! I’ve spent the past week working on several things at once, but finally got my drawing project done~ Out of desire to re-design outfits for some of the Gotham villains, I drew them like fashion sketches (you can google what i mean) complete with modeling poses for fun~

though this took me a while, i’m very happy with how they turned out! I hope you guys enjoy my outfit designs (the only old one being Riddler’s; i’m kind of settled on it); you can click to get a better look at them! each outfit incorporates inspiration from their canon outfits combined with some sort of ‘fashion flair’ and were fun to create

The ancient words.

Have.

Been.

i’m going to push back on this because it’s not true. there is a tremendous difference between someone who has gone through years of training on recognizing and mitigating biases and Just Some Guy with a large tiktok following and no accountability.

Like, are you going to put together your own version of history from the Pyramids to today, entirely without relying on historians? Just original sources, for all of it? And you’re also going to learn all the laws of physics from scratch? You’re going to learn everything there is to learn about biology by observing animals? You’re going to learn about food safety by testing every food?

No, you’re not. You’re going to ‘do your own research’ by reading a half full of out of context sources and then deciding whatever you want. Which is probably how those instagram influences got to their bizarre takes.

And, no, the alternative isn’t ‘always trust scientists’. Scientists do fuck up and they have biases and incentives. And if I’m honest, most historians have probably not had years of training on recognizing and mitigating biases. It’s not the best research field in that respect. But there is a massive difference between a research field that is biased but still fact-checks each other and pushes out people who do not list their sources, or a social media community where the people who tell the wildest stories are pushed to the top of the pile.

my dreams: *spider monster chasing me downtown*

While other members of the gang have shown an interest in sports at various points, particularly Fred and Daphne, Shaggy is specifically labelled the best gymnast in the school in episode 1 of series 1, What A Night For A Knight. It's one of the earliest things we learn about his character.

In Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School, he gets hired as a gym teacher at a school for the children of famous monsters, and is actually really good at it. Despite being actively terrified of all his students and his surroundings, he still manages to get the kids engaged in sport and even helps them beat a neighbouring school in a volleyball match.

In Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf, we learn that he's also a gifted race car driver.

In Scooby Doo and the Phantosaur, it turns out that he also has the ability to hold his own in a fight against multiple opponents, and to jump pretty long distances (even if he needs a confidence boost in order to access those his abilities).

And that's not even getting into the sheer amount of physical activity involved in just being a member of the Mystery Gang, specifically in being the guy who always gets stuck on live-bait duty and is at the centre of every chase scene.

Plus, he has a great dane for a pet. So even when he isn't out with the gang, he's presumably getting a fair bit of exercise walking Scooby.

Shaggy, at any moment, can expect to have a person-sized weight basically launched at him, and not only is he able to catch him in mid-air every time, without staggering, but he's able to launch into a full sprint straight afterwards with no visible difficulty.

Oh, and, when one of them isn't carrying the other? Scooby and Shaggy typically keep pace. Certainly you never see the huge gap that you'd expect to open up between a human and a dog who are both running at panic speeds.
