Just a shame the Unborn Brigade don't give two shits about babies after they've been born.
Also the gross irony that canning abortion means a greater increase in minority births.
What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

And then they can point at those mothers and children suffering, and say that clearly it's because minorities are bad and inferior and destroying MUH MURRICA with their poverty and sickness and desperation. The fact that it's the GOP's own fault is disregarded because that was then and this is now.
Hawley's Disney revenge bill limits copyright to 56 years for major corporations:
There's a clause limiting it to companies/people worth more than $150 billion and that produce substantial works in arts and entertainment, so there's a whole host of companies that this will also affect, but I don't think any of them have IP that old.

Maybe Warner Bros Discovery with their DC properties?
Yep. Hell, Star Trek is almost 56 years old now.
Yup. I'm all for reducing copyright length across the board, not just for large corporations. Hawley's proposal will simply make large entertainment companies hand off their ips to smaller shell companies that they control, changing nothing.

That's a weird way to spell "awesome side effect".
It would, at least, force these companies to pretend to not own those things anymore, which would mean no more Space Jam "LOOK AT ALL THE ICONIC BRANDS OUR MEGACORP OWNS"-fests, I suppose.
Probably unlikely that she'll announce tomorrow that the chalk-writers have learned their lesson, huh?Susan Collins: Afraid of chalk.

I think it would still happen, it would just require more paperwork since the smaller companies would have to license the characters to the megacorp.
It would discourage companies from buying and hoarding old IP, but as far as I can tell, it's only Disney that is both doing that and over the net worth threshold.
Hell, they could probably avoid the penalty altogether by breaking off parts of their company into smaller companies.
They should be doing that anyway. Even more than the sheer amount of acquisitions they've made, I'm sick of them lumping them all into the Disney brand. I hate seeing their damn logo on all the Star Wars Lego boxes. I hate that they shut down Touchstone because it doesn't fit into their perfect mold of family entertainment (when that was literally the whole point). I hate that Miracle on 34th Street and Don Bluth's Thumbelina are on Disney+ and that we'll probably start seeing Anastasia walking around Disney World in another year or so.
Minnesota GOP fears the worst at upcoming convention – asks attendees not to bring zip-ties or flamethrowers

I have to admit, I wasn't expecting the ban list to include hoards of insects, but here we are.
