Murderflavor is, of course, black licorice.

I’m sure the Oregon Culinary Institute, where the murder happened, will be all over that.

I’ve seen some suggestions that it’s a clone of a flavour made by a Black producer.
OTOH, the flavours aren’t original with either version.
But while we’re at it…

I loath that man.

What I find loathsome is that women have consent to reproduce with him, in whatever way that’s agreed upon. Ew.
I’m sure someone like him is into eugenics.

Allows him to justify how his family built their wealth.

Why do we worry about the coming dangers of AI when we have Twitter run by a evil twit?

(The @questauthority thread goes into many of the ways that it’s dumb, but the big one is that nowhere in the lawsuit does it actually claim Carey copied the song… it just talks about the plaintiff having a song with the same title.

I thought titles were not necessarily copyrightable?

It’s that it’s registered to a white man owned business that is the issue.

I recall the controversy covered in this article (or maybe one similar), about trademark vs copyright:
I can think of a few words Chuck Tingle might copyright profitably . . . .

It would probably need to be a lot more creative than “All I Want For Christmas Is You” to have much chance at all of being covered by copyright.
The fun thing is, the lawsuit doesn’t actually claim the title is infringing either. It just refers to Carey releasing “a version of the song ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’”. Which is technically true if you’re saying she released a version of her song… but if they’re arguing that it was a version of the plaintiff’s song (or that the title was infringing) then that needs to be said, preferably with some information on how the songs are similar.
(It also states a few times that Carey doesn’t have rights to make a derivatives of the plaintiff’s song. Which is probably completely accurate, but still isn’t an argument that a derivative work was created.)

Sooo not surprised!
If I remember correctly, in 1994/1995, E&Y was one of the firms that seniors at Dorsey Business School would visit to learn about the office in downtown Detroit and possibly be considered for employment. One of the girls who went said that female employees weren’t allowed to wear slacks or black eyeliner; I think she also mentioned that hair had to be short or put up.

It is also apparently a response to stories of him having secret twin kids with an executive at one of his startups. Which piles on a whole 'nother level of “dumbest thing I’ve ever read”.
