I SO want to put out a T-shirt with Trump’s face from the mug shot photo with a red circle and slash across it (as in a no-smoking sign). Too old and not enough giddy-up to see it through, though.

Some one ought to. The image is in public domain, right? Could Trump do anything about it?

Generally, you’re not suppose to make money of someone else’s likeness without permission. I’m sure there are all kinds of exceptions. This website seems to have a pretty good summary of the law.

I’d like to make a case for referring to the streaming service formerly known as Twitter as “Xitter.” The X is pronounced as “SH” and the posts are “Xits.”
