A professional YouTuber in Queensland has been ordered to pay $350,000 plus interest and costs to the former world record score holder for Donkey Kong, after the Brisbane district court found the YouTuber had defamed him “recklessly” with false claims of a link between a lawsuit and another YouTuber’s suicide.

William “Billy” Mitchell, an American gamer who had held world records in Donkey Kong and Pac-Man going back to 1982, as recognised by the Guinness World Records and the video game database Twin Galaxies, brought the case against Karl Jobst, seeking $400,000 in general damages and $50,000 in aggravated damages.

Jobst, who makes videos about “speed running” (finishing games as fast as possible), as well as gaming records and cheating in games, made a number of allegations against Mitchell in a 2021 YouTube video. He accused Mitchell of cheating, and “pursuing unmeritorious litigation” against others who had also accused him of cheating, the court judgment stated.

The court heard Mitchell was accused in 2017 of cheating in his Donkey Kong world records by using emulation software instead of original arcade hardware. Twin Galaxies investigated the allegation, and subsequently removed Mitchell’s scores and banned him from participating in its competitions.

The Guinness World Records disqualified Mitchell as a holder of all his records – in both Donkey Kong and Pac-Man – after the Twin Galaxies decision.

The judgment stated that Jobst’s 2021 video also linked the December 2020 suicide of another YouTuber, Apollo Legend, to “stress arising from [his] settlement” with Mitchell, and wrongly asserted that Apollo Legend had to pay Mitchell “a large sum of money”.

The increasing upwelling of fascist momentum has led to an influx of calls to launch such people into the sun. This is a particularly difficult and energy-intensive task not yet achieved by man, beast, nor machine, and in order to do so the new proletarian state will have to be quite clever.

The closest man has come to dropping something into the sun is the Parker Solar Probe which has passed as low as 9.86 solar radii (geostationary satellites orbit at roughly 5 terran radii). In order to achieve this, the mission required numerous gravity assists, launched on the most powerful rocket at the time, the Delta IV heavy*, and could only deliver around 50 kg (110 lbs) of payload, a weight of only the most scrawny fascists.

• Falcon Heavy did launch earlier that year but was not yet commercially available and has lower payload capacity to high C3 targets

It is likely that if you have commented “throw [someone] into the sun” before, people have quipped that it would be more efficient to cast them from the solar system entirely. Strictly speaking this is true, at least on standard orbits. Using the Vis-Viva equation with Terra at roughly 150 gigameters from Sol, the orbital velocity is roughly 29.7 km/s. Using a standard Hohmann Transfer with Terra at Aposol and Sol’s surface as Perisol in order to achieve contact requires a velocity at infinity relative to the Terran gravity well of roughly 25.5 km/s or a characteristic energy of 650 km²/s². For perspective, Mars transfers generally require 16 km²/s².

A French court found Marine Le Pen guilty Monday in an embezzlement case and followed up the verdict with a sentence barring her immediately from running for office for five years. Le Pen abruptly left the Paris courtroom before hearing how long she will be banned from running for public office.

Le Pen and 24 other officials from her National Rally were accused of having used money intended for European Union parliamentary aides to pay staff who worked for the party between 2004 and 2016, in violation of the 27-nation bloc’s regulations. Le Pen and her co-defendants deny wrongdoing.

The biggest concern for Le Pen was that the court may declare her ineligible to run for office preventing her from running for president in 2027 -- a scenario she had described as a “political death.”

The Constitutional Council ruled Friday, in a separate case, that imposing the punishment immediately was constitutional.

Scattered across the United States, hundreds of thousands of abandoned mines scar the earth, posing a safety hazard to passing hikers and a health risk to nearby communities. But cached inside piles of refuse and ponds of toxic waste, there are also elements as critical for the 21st-century economy as coal was for the industrial revolution. Now, an obscure federal government program known as the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative, or Earth MRI, is identifying the high-tech minerals concealed in these mines — as well as those hidden beneath the Earth’s surface.

Developed by the U.S. Geological Survey, or USGS, during the first Trump administration, Earth MRI aims to comprehensively map the nation’s underground deposits of “critical minerals” — an ever-growing list of elements and compounds considered vital for national security and the economy. In 2021, Earth MRI received a massive funding boost through the bipartisan infrastructure law, accelerating federal scientists’ efforts to figure out which parts of the country are rich in minerals used in clean energy technologies, semiconductors, and high-tech weaponry. While the Trump administration has moved aggressively to reverse most of former President Joe Biden’s climate policies, it appears to agree with the prior administration’s desire to locate — and, eventually, mine — more of these resources.

Many Biden-era climate and energy initiatives remain in limbo following the Trump administration’s freeze on the disbursement of grant funding and mass firing of federal employees — but Earth MRI got an early greenlight to resume operations.

“This is a program that has survived both the Trump and Biden administrations,” Peter Cook, a critical minerals policy expert at The Breakthrough Institute, an environmental solutions research organization, told Grist. “They’re both definitely interested in critical minerals.”

Billionaire Tesla CEO and Trump ally Elon Musk allegedly pressured the CEO of social media platform Reddit to stifle users criticizing him or President Donald Trump, leaving platform moderators furious.

In over 100 Reddit communities, moderators began banning links to social media platform X after Elon Musk appeared to perform a Sieg Heil at an inauguration rally for the 47th President. Musk responded by complaining about this response publicly on social media.

However, the billionaire had had a private reaction to the fiasco as well, messaging Reddit CEO Steve Huffman about his online critics and encouraging Huffman to silence them, reported The Verge.

They exchanged messages just before the subreddit r/WhitePeopleofTwitter was given a temporary ban for 72 hours, seemingly because its content included violent threats levied against members of the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency. The exact messages exchanged by Musk and Huffman have not been revealed.

Subreddits banning X links included r/Nintendo and r/NFL and even r/Military, the moderators of which said "F--- that guy," about Musk in a statement.

A spokesperson for Reddit clarified that users were implementing these bans themselves, and that they had nothing to do with the company itself.
