Poor Walt Disney. Posterity has not been kind to him. First he became the subject of a conspiracy theory that he was in cryogenic sleep (after his death in 1966) and would reawaken in the 21st century. I hope he didn’t set his thaw out for 2016 or beyond, or the poor man’s mind would have been blown. In any event, that’s all fantasy. He was cremated and his ashes are interred at Forest Lawn.

So the next injustice done to the man who invented Mickey Mouse is a recent one. An animatron of Disney has been created and that would normally be a good thing, honoring a past visionary — but for the fact that it links to yet another conspiracy theory, a conspiracy theorist, more specifically, and that is Mike Lindell. Only seeing is believing.

Speaking of Mike Lindell, he’s ecstatic today. He win his appeal and now doesn’t have to pay $5 million to the software developer who debunked his cockamamie theories about the stolen election.

Ahhh, the Biggest Story In The World. Nothing grandiose about that, right? And here’s something Mike is proud of, it’s pinned to his Twitter account (yes, the one Elon reinstated and that Lindell lost when he was talking crazy on January 6.)

Reuters says that
–
In 2021, Lindell created the “Prove Mike Wrong” challenge as part of an effort to establish that Democrat Joe Biden owed his election win over Trump to foreign interference.
Contestants were asked to prove data on 11 files provided by Lindell were not “related to” the election. The private judges overseeing the challenge did not declare a winner. Zeidman later convinced an arbitration panel, opens new tab that he deserved the $5 million award.
–
Circuit Judges James Loken, Lavenski Smith and L. Steven Grasz concluded on Wednesday that the arbitration panel improperly amended the contest’s contract terms, putting new obligations on Lindell concerning the data at issue.
–
“Fair or not, agreed-to contract terms may not be modified by the panel or by this court,” the appeals court said.
–
I can’t find any data on the amending of the contract terms, so we’ll just accept this at face value. And yes, amending contract terms after the fact is a no no. My issue is that I don’t see how something this basic would have gone to arbitration in the first place and then up to the appeals court without being noticed. If I find the answer, you will be the first to know. But something is decidedly odd here. But then look at the cast of characters.
