on #OApod , lawyer Andrew covers an article on #WotC 's leaked #OGL changes with comedian Thomas
He says the update won't change much for the Dungeons and Dragons fanbase, but beware paragraph 12b
Update would restrict use of AD&D by neo-Nazis and other white nationalists, prevents NFT grift. And also unauthed mind flayer t-shirts
Pathfinder likely would have to pay some

Andrew says new license is longer because it's human readable rather than just lawyerspeak

"We Badly Underestimated Just How Terrible Elon Musk Is At Business"
Opening Arguments podcast covers how Musk blew half his $400 bln to pay for most of a $44 bln purchase ( Dorsey, Ellison, Saudi Arabia, etc also paid in ) for a corporate wasteland he is burning to the ground
Granted, Musk has another $200 bln and I don't know anyone who could come up with a bln to bail me out or even a mln really, so maybe it was just his spare $200 bln

Opening Arguments covered the Mar a Lago search on the podcast Thu, Merrick Garland's talk popped as they finished recording
They put out an emergency special episode Sat after looking at search warrant leaked to Breitbartall 3 statutes named in the warrant are for actively misusing government docs, not just for having them, docs don't have to be classified
That classified and compartmentalized docs were there just makes it worse

after Alito abomination leaked last night Andrew (lawyer) read it & #OpenArgs breaks it down in an hourlong emergency episode
draft is as bad & unhinged as you think, abortion will be gone & the same convoluted gaslighting can get rid of birth control & really all forms of marriage
Andrew wonders if leak is from Ginny Thomas passing draft around
Thomas (comedian) points out the draft depends heavily on the legal theory of 'pull it out of Alito's posterior'
