The Southern Poverty Law Center just released a report claiming there are 1,225 hate and anti-government groups in America. These groups cause “fear and pain (in) Black, brown, and LGBTQ communities.”
The SPLC lists such groups on its “hate map.”
I once believed the center. Well-meaning people still do. Apple once gave them $1 million.
But what donors don’t know is that today, the SPLC smears good people, not just “haters.”
Ayaan Hirsi Ali grew up Muslim in Somalia, but now she criticizes radical Islam and sometimes (maybe this is what really bothers the SPLC) fraternizes with American…
IP Australia has published 3 consultation papers on proposed reforms to registered designs law:
Public consultation of Protection for Virtual Designs
Public consultation on Protection for Partial Designs; and
Public consultation on Protection for Incremental Improvements of Designs
There are also 3 one page “fact” sheets to go with them:
(a) Virtual Designs;
(b) Partial Designs;
(c) Incremental Improvements,
but you probably want to read the consultation papers proper to understand them.
Incremental improvements
The idea here is that a designer may file a low-cost preliminary design and within 6 months file the “main design”. The priority date of the…

SEATTLE (AP) — A big mound of fresh dirt sits at Terry Taylor’s marijuana farm in the high desert of north-central Washington state. Each hole for a new plant gets filled with the clean soil.
Large swaths of recently installed landscape fabric cover the ground, and soon the dirt roads on his property will be covered in crushed rock to keep dust contaminated from covering the crops.
Taylor’s pot farm is one of several getting back to business after state regulators halted their operations in April,…

July 5 (Reuters) – Telecom and media firm Quebecor (QBRb.TO) said on Wednesday it will pull its ads from Facebook and Instagram, following Meta Platforms’ (META.O) decision to stop access to news on both the social media platforms in Canada over a law requiring payments to local news publishers.
The “Online News Act”, or House of Commons bill C-18, introduced in April last year laid out rules to force companies such as Meta and Alphabet-owned (GOOGL.O) Google to negotiate commercial deals and pay news publishers for their content.
Google and Meta previously said they would block access to news articles…
Seoul, South Korea (CNN) — More than 51 million people in South Korea awoke on Wednesday to find themselves a year or two younger – at least, according to the law.
Under legislation that came into effect Wednesday, “all judicial and administrative areas” across the East Asian country will adopt the “international age” system used by most of the world, ending years of debate about the problems caused by the formerly common use of “ Korean age” and “calendar age.”
Standardizing ages will “reduce various social confusions and disputes,” said Lee Wan-kyu, the Minister of Government Legislation, at a news…

The Department of Agriculture is holding a Public Objections Process to assess the impact of accepting these names.
There are four grounds for potential objection (and only four):
The EU GI name is used in Australia as the common name for the relevant good, including as a type or style of wine.
The EU GI…
Fox News legal commentator Jonathan Turley didn’t hold back after the indictment charging former President Donald Trump with 37 counts was unsealed.
The indictment, unsealed on Friday afternoon, stems from Mr Trump’s allegedly unlawful retention of hundreds of documents at his Florida residence Mar-a-Lago.
Trump aide Walt Nauta has also been charged after he was apparently spotted on surveillance footage of moving boxes at the property. The ex-president stands accused of having moved classified documents from the White House at the end of his presidency despite not having the right to do so.
Mr Trump showed classified documents to others…
