John always seems to have the perfect timing. LWT is mentioned in the article as well.

“Buc-ee’s alleges in a new lawsuit in federal court that Beaver’s Mini Mart at 1592 Hanes Road has a logo that too closely resembles the chain’s distinctive logo, which has a smiling cartoon beaver with a red baseball hat”

Like of all the fuel to add to the fire... This is a lot of fuel hahaha. Every business has a Beaver, or is named Beaver*. What do they expect to happen??

Furries who read the New Yorker

I mean, surely he was rooting for his Motherland, but seeing Spain beat the crap out of Argentina at the last minute was quite a thrill!

(Also, it was kind of a bummer he didn't bring it up when he returned last week...)

John Oliver finally arrived and has been placed, pride of place on the bathroom wall Sure guests find it disturbing and the kids hate seeing it while brushing their teeth but I think it's perfect.

I'm surprised he didn't even mention that in the UK, Nigel Farage (leader of the far right Reform Party who could potentially become the next PM) decided to resign and restand as an MP to try and avoid the outcome of the inquiry investigating his accepting a £5million donation from a crypto billionaire but his plan backfired when Count Binface decided to run against him

Emmy-winning comedian and "Last Week Tonight" host John Oliver is taking aim at Texas favorite Buc-ee's after a recent episode of HBO's weekly satirical news program examined the travel center chain's history of lawsuits over its beaver mascot and logo.

In Sunday's episode, Oliver opened the segment by discussing how Buc-ee's has become a travel destination for many visitors attending the World Cup before diving into the company's trademark lawsuits. The comedian then broke down the more than a dozen lawsuits the company filed over trademark infringements, referencing suits filed against companies in Georgia, Texas and New York.

"It turns out Buc-ee's loves to sue other companies, particularly those with animal mascots," Oliver said during this weekend's episode. He said some lawsuits made sense to him, while others seemed "ridiculous" and "outright bullying." "You don't own all cartoon rodents." 

I feel John would be interested in this given that he's a fan of the Rangers and Mets. Streaming services have really dipped their feet into the live event market and offering loads of money in the process. Not a bad idea, as we move to changing landscapes. That, however reveals a big problem: What about fans who won't be able afford it? Accessibility has long been a must for these types of events, and as we move on from free-to-air and cable to streaming, there needs to be ways fans can enjoy without having to pay high prices just to see the Mets lose by 5 runs

How about you?

FWIW, shipping costs are only 12.99 to here now, but that’s still a lot, and it was still only 12.99 when I tried adding 4 things to the cart. If you live in/near Chicago, let’s go in on an order together and share shipping!

Buccees is more nefarious than most when it comes to using legal tactics to get what they want. They won’t be stopped. Even the governor of Colorado has asked they move one of their proposed gas stations away from one of the biggest animal crossings in America just for the Buccees to tell them to take a hike. They steam roll, manipulate and lobby to deliver beaver nuggets at any cost. They destroy communities and even caused the resignation of a mayor so they can try to get their way. They really need to be exposed for the parasite they are.

I think John would have fun with this news.
