The case is Mata v. Avianca, Inc. involving Mata suffering a knee injury when struck by an airplane drinks cart of an airline that subsequently entered and left bankruptcy, its details are not important.
Here is where the trouble starts as plaintiff's counsel Peter LoDuca opposes a motion to dismiss. There are some very well-formed citations like "Shaboon v. Egyptair, 2013 IL App (1st) 111279-U (Ill. App. Ct. 2013)" and "Varghese v. China Southern Airlines Co. Ltd., 925 F.3d 1339 (11th Cir. 2019)".
Defendant attempts to find these cases to write a response:
Plaintiff cites to “Varghese v. China Southern Airlines Co., Ltd., 925 F.3d 1339 (11th Cir. 2019).” The undersigned has not been able to locate this case by caption or citation, nor any case bearing any resemblance to it. Plaintiff offers lengthy quotations purportedly from the “Varghese” case [...] The undersigned has not been able to locate this quotation, nor anything like it any case. The quotation purports to cite to “Zicherman v. Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd., 516 F.3d 1237, 1254 (11th Cir. 2008).” The undersigned has not been able to locate this case; although there was a Supreme Court case captioned Zicherman v. Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd., that case was decided in 1996, it originated in the Southern District of New York and was appealed to the Second Circuit, and it did not address the limitations period set forth in the Warsaw Convention. 516 U.S. 217 (1996).
The Court orders plaintiff's counsel LoDuca to submit copies of these cases.
LoDuca sends in some cases, noting that some of the cases seem to be incomplete copies. Also notice this filing was notarized by one Steven Schwartz, with an incorrect date. Purported cases are attached like the Varghese and Shaboon decisions.
Defense "respectfully submits that the authenticity of many of these cases is questionable".
Now the Court is pissed and LoDuca is up for sanctions for citing/submitting false cases:
The Court is presented with an unprecedented circumstance. A submission filed by plaintiff’s counsel in opposition to a motion to dismiss is replete with citations to non-existent cases. (ECF 21.) When the circumstance was called to the Court’s attention by opposing counsel (ECF 24), the Court issued Orders requiring plaintiff’s counsel to provide an affidavit annexing copies of certain judicial opinions of courts of record cited in his submission, and he has complied. (ECF 25, 27, 29.) Six of the submitted cases appear to be bogus judicial decisions with bogus quotes and bogus internal citations. Set forth below is an Order to show cause why plaintiff’s counsel ought not be sanctioned.
- LoDuca responds that it wasn't actually him doing all this work, it was Steven Schwartz. Schwartz:
the citations and opinions in question were provided by Chat GPT which also provided its legal source and assured the reliability of its content. Excerpts from the queries presented and responses provided are attached hereto.
- Now the Court is more pissed and LoDuca, Schwartz, and their whole firm are up for sanctions for citing/submitting false cases and fraudulent notarization.
In conclusion I hope this was a bullshit suit because if this guy Mata had a serious complaint I don't think he's seeing any justice anytime soon

Disney's new cartoon has gotten into hot water with Mexicans on social media.
The rundown of the show:
She lives with 1000 cousins in a house on "Earthquake Heights" which is apparently offensive since latin america has had lots of fatal earthquakes. One of her baby cousins is named "Cuquita" WHICH IS SLANG FOR VAGINA. The whole show is also yellow tinted which is apparently racist and trying to show where they live as dirty? Idk but I think it's funny people are getting mad about this. Also the title is apparently grammatically incorrect and should be named Oigan Primos
Latin Americans people start making fun of the show in every post about it. Disney takes the theme song down because of it.
Funny stuff but the real drama is how angry the creators and voice actress have gotten over the whole situation.
Here’s a Mexican bullying her and calling her a gringo:
HILARIOUS SEETHE VIDEO
Her totally not mad at the haters
ESL Mexicans also got mad at her for this ham fisted post playing on Trump’s shithole comment. It just makes it look like she agrees with Trump and that her parents leaving their shitty country allowed her to be succesful.
Comments from lolcow:
Finally, Reddit comment I lol-ed at while trying to figure out more about the situation:

Sorry for the delay, @FDsignifier, some of us work and have busy lives, though. Can't believe you couldn't wait 4 days for your $10,000 anti-police fund donation, so I went ahead and just donated the $10,000 to the Atlanta Police Department.

Don’t forget to tell our friends at Reddit corporate how much you support them in this endeavor! I’m certainly doing my part.
Apollo dev whines and demands to know how Apollo hurts Reddit. Chadmin responds with SCIENCE:
“As I asked before, could you please clarify what inefficiencies Apollo is experiencing”
Having developers ask this question of themselves is the main point of having a cost associated with access in the first place. How might your app be more efficient? Google & Amazon don’t tell us how to be more efficient. It’s up to us as users of these services to optimize our usage to meet our budget.
[there is a chart here in the Reddit comment]
On March 14th, Apollo made nearly 1 billion requests against our API in a single day, triggered in part by our system outage. After the outage, Apollo started making 53% fewer calls per day. If the app can operate with half the daily request volume, can it operate with fewer?
Reddit takes some of the blame here for allowing that level of inefficient usage, which is why we haven’t spotlighted it to date, but I think it is a good reminder that inefficiencies do exist. It also highlights the importance of having a system in place that shares the responsibility of managing this with developers.
The Redditors are not taking this well. Choice reply:
So actively using Reddit, commenting, upvoting and downvoting
Aka giving value to the platform
That’s counting against us?
Today Redditors learn that when you updoot a post, it does not, in fact, give Reddit money.

Greetings,
Back in the day people used to write words on pieces of paper. I know this is alien to most of you zoomers that think emojis evoke anything other than cringe and derision BUT we didn't always used to have iPhones and your penance for making that okay is dying from climate change. WITH THAT IN MIND - The fountain pen community is in absolute fricking shambles and it's so fun.
SO - Fountain pens are fancy white people pens that you fill with ink and shit and you use them to write fancy stupid shit on pieces of paper for gender reveal parties and funerals. For literal decades of years the German company LAMY has been the top c*nt of this world - they sell the fanciest pens and they sell the BEST ink that everyone uses and they essentially set the industry standard for all of the people that write shit on pieces of paper.
In 2016 LAMY released a limited edition pen and a limited edition ink to go with it - this ink was Dark Lilac. This ink was like the bees fricking knees. Impossible to recreate - had a golden sheen - did black-to-blue-to-purple like WOAH - this ink was impossible to ignore and no ink company has been able to replicate it since. This ink is basically the best thing to ever fricking happen to anyone ever.
LOOK AT THAT LIFE CHANGIN SHIT
LAMY has never re-released this shade of ink despite it's obvious cult status and most think it's because they literally can't - this was a flash in the pan accident at the factory and that's why no other ink company has been able to replicate that shit. WITH THIS IN MIND - mere days ago the LAMY company advertised two new limited edition pens and two new limited edition inks Safari Pink and VIOLET BLACKBERRY.
THE WORLD LITERALLY EXPLODED YALL
The fountain pen r-slurs were having the world's largest tard rage over whether or not this VIOLET BLACKBERRY was going to be DARK LILAC AND OMG FUFCKING SLKDFJLSKDFJLKSDJFkjk
1500 tard rages later LAMY released a statement saying that Violet Blackberry was an homage to Dark Lilac BUT keep in mind they did not say that it was Dark Lilac but NO ONE cared because they said the words "Dark Lilac" and everyone went absolutely fricking feral.
TRAGEDY
European and Chinese re-sellers bought up ALLLLLL of the Violet Blackberry ink and started posting them online AS Dark Lilac (Temu grade shenanigans basically) because LAMY said it was an homage and no one knows what the frick the word "homage" means anymore because you all only speak in fricking emojis BUT bottles of legit Dark Lilac previously sold for literally thousands of dollars because it was a legit ONE TIME thing that cannot be replicated by any company ever because it's probably full of lead and cancer but when these bottles of Violet Blackberry started filling the market as a cheap version of Dark Lilac people went INSANE and bought them all because DARK LILAC OMG.
TRAGEDY AGAIN
https://twitter.com/mikeycpa/status/1763633921294524728
SO everyone bought the fake Dark Liles and then once their little prezzies came in the mail they realized that THIS SHIT AINT DARK LILAC OMG - quelle fricking surprise.
https://twitter.com/sarah_cone/status/1763646231765557748
This new "Dark Lilac" didn't even fricking work half the time and was awful but those c*nts at LAMY never said it was Dark Lilac so everyone that bought all the fake shit overseas for wayyyyyy above market price for regular ink were just r-slurs that couldn't read, right? WRONG
LAMY chose the path of evil and released a public statement that Violet Blackberry was "in fact" also Dark Lilac and that you should totes keep buying all of those shitty bottles of Violet Blackberry under the assumption that they were Dark Lilac from shitty Chinese resellers.
Why they did this is beyond me but it didn't hold water for more than 8 hours as anyone that had used the new ink KNEW it was totally nothing like the old ink. Twitter tards called bullshit and got LAMY to make a statement and the statement was that they were "sorry about making the ink release with the name Dark Lilac" EVEN THO THEY DIDNT EVEN ORIGINALLY DO THAT. Total bullshit to cover up their re-seller shenanigans.
https://twitter.com/aidandvg1/status/1762578872837746932
SO no one bought any of their bullshit and twitter was INSANE about this shit. The backlash was so severe for two days and then LAMY as a company decided to SELL THEMSELVES TO MITSUBISHI - this happened literally hours ago. Totally insane. Everyone was laid off and LAMY as a company like literally DOES NOT EXIST anymore other than as an online retailer-front.
All because of a stupid fricking fountain pen ink.
