The New York Times has responded to a letter from Mr Trump's lawyer, requesting that their story about two women who were allegedly touched by Trump be removed from their website.
"The essence of a libel claim, of course, is the protection of one's reputation. Mr Trump has bragged about his non-consensual sexual touching of women. He has bragged about intruding on beauty pageant contestants in their dressing rooms. He acquiesced to a radio host's request to discuss Mr Trump's own daughter as a "piece of ass". Multiple women not mentioned in our article have publicly come forward to report on Mr Trump's unwanted advances. Nothing in our article has had the slightest effect on the reputation that Mr Trump, through his own words and actions, has already created for himself."
It continues: "We did what the law allows: We published newsworthy information about a subject of deep public concern. If Mr Trump disagrees, if he believes that American citizens had no right to hear what these women had to say and that the law of this country forces us and those who would dare to criticize him to stand silent or be punished, we welcome the opportunity to have a court set him straight."
tl;dr, the NYT just told Trump to go fuck himself.

The NYT is one of the last bastions of professional journalism. It's worth the subscription fees.
Seen a lot of people on twitter be like: can you even sue a newspaper like that and how could it ever work?
Uhhh did you not watch Gawker close its doors this year?

I don't read any paper regularly these days, but I've been somewhat impressed by the reporting the Post has done lately. I'd forgotten they were bought by Bezos.

I bet Donald feels showed up by Peter Thiel, especially since he's actually a billionaire.
My PSVR and 6 games arrived but I'm still working.
What games did you get, Drez?
Batman, Battlezone, Loading Human, Until Dawn, Driveclub, and Rise of the Tomb Raider, which has a VR section.
Cool! From that list, I have Driveclub and Rise of TR, but I'll probably pick up Batman, Battlezone, and Until Dawn. I haven't seen Loading Human before. I also got Rigs and two separate Demo discs (VR Worlds and VR Demo Disc). I will probably pick up Rez digitally.
I also own Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 which apparently works in VR now, too.

I hear the DoA Xtreme games are legit good. The volleyball is legit good, it's not just bouncing boobs.
also sometimes it's okay to like bouncing boobs and consume media just for it

Well, yeah, but if I'm going to do that, I'm going straight to the porn. Why would I want to do that in a video game?

Yeah the DOAX3 PSVR stuff is kind of... Donald Trump's Backstage Miss Universe Experience.

I looked into getting the post delivered but apparently they only do that locally?
Weirdly, if I'm going to get a newspaper sub I would want it to be physical, I don't care about online newspapers.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
There is a bit of a difference between the gawker lawsuit and trump. For one trump can't claim damage to his character re: groping
The gawker one was also weird. No one likes gawker, but exposing a person who is being racist for being racist will definitely hurt their image. But they can sue for being outed as a bad person? That's weird.

True. The difference is in the power dynamics. To make NYT bleed enough to die, you need an even richer dick to do it. The same rules apply, if you're rich enough you can do what you want, but the definition of rich enough narrows to exclude Trump.

So much time and so few games to play next month.

I mean, I post in the Monster Hunter thread all the time.

Women of our nation's bogs are speaking out: smash the swamp patriarchy
This is honestly the best outcome of this multi-year-long thing.
Let's play Mario Kart or something...

Luckily Trump outed himself a while ago.

I mean, whenever there's an Alpha Centauri thread it's like 80% faction leader avatars posting, and 5 out of 7 those are awful people
your avatar just makes you extra qualified
I think he's poor. As Seth Meyers said, I think there's a reason he's been going state to state selling cheap hats for months.
