In 2004, I started using the name Lexi Love in the entertainment industry.

In December 2024, someone on @X tagged me as a newly announced @RuPaulsDragRace S17 contestant. Within weeks, @WorldOfWonder and @MTV were promoting Cody/Claire Barnes as Lexi Love on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17.

Barnes was promoted under my trademark as: "My name's Lexi Love, and I put the whore in hormones."

Then came Barnes's headlines - Barnes's story deserves respect. So does mine.

"Lexi Love goes public with HIV status after Trump wipes resources from federal website; I'm a survivor RuPaul's Drag Race star Lexi Love tearfully reveals she was once a human trafficking victim, as a homeless drug addict; Lexi Love enters rehab for substance abuse, emotional therapy."

My heart breaks for anyone who has endured those experiences. Barnes demonstrated immense vulnerability, courage, and resilience in sharing her story with the world on RuPaul's Drag Race. And she has every right to speak her truth.

Equally, I have the absolute right to protect myself and the federally registered trademark I have built my business upon for 22 years from commercial exploitation by Barnes, World of Wonder, RuPaul's Drag Race, and @paramountplus @Skydance.

Following the removal of RuPaul's Drag Race promotions of Lexi Love, including Barnes's accounts from @instagram, X, @AppleMusic, @facebook, and @Spotify in December 2024, Paramount and World of Wonder executives intervened, restoring Barnes's accounts to continue promoting her under my name ahead of the January 2025 premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 17.

Such interventions directly incited a severe harassment campaign by the RuPaul's Drag Race, including disclosure of my private identity, coordinated pile-on, death threats, threats of physical violence, slut-shaming, and false reporting intended to destroy my business.

Extortion followed. Barnes weaponized the press and her fanbase against me, while her counsel threatened litigation unless I surrendered my U.S. and international trademarks. When I refused, Barnes filed a December 2025 federal lawsuit to cancel my active federal trademark, Lexi Love. In March 2026, I filed federal counterclaims against Barnes, Paramount, and World of Wonder.

While my initial preliminary injunction request was denied, then the district court rejected the networks' motion to dismiss—validating my Lexi Love twenty-two-year career across film, television, and music. In sharp contrast, the judge noted Barnes claimed my name years later, used it inconsistently as she switched between aliases, and only found mainstream relevance on reality TV in 2025. It gets even better. The court explicitly ruled Paramount and World of Wonder utilized "Lexi Love" to brand a performer, promote her across national television and paid streaming platforms, and commercially exploit that identity for direct financial benefit. Further stating: "In short, 'Lexi Love' is used as a mark." Thus shattering Paramount's and World of Wonder's defenses.

What happens now?

My preliminary injunction appeal awaits a hearing date. If I win the PI, it has the ability to bring an immediate, court-ordered halt to all unauthorized commercial exploitation of my name, business, and brand.

Trump just made seven consecutive posts on social media, within minutes, all about renaming New Mexico, New America. He did this on Labor Day as our country is at war and suffering the highest diesel prices in history.

As an American if you aren’t concerned, you better get concerned.

A robot that swims underwater, then flies straight out of it! 🦢

Water is 1,000 times denser than air. Moving through one or the other normally means two completely different machines.

Around 100 bird species disagree. Loons, gulls, puffins and petrels dive after prey, then leap back into the sky.

Engineers at MIT and EPFL built a robot that does the same thing.

It's a flapping-wing aerial-aquatic vehicle, it weighs under 300 grams, and the results are out in Science. @RaphZufferey who runs the AURA Lab at MIT, is lead author.

A waterproof motor drives a crankshaft that pumps two flexible wings up and down at set frequencies, and a motorised tail changes angle to climb or dive.

The wing membranes are coated with hydrophobic nanoparticles so water sheds off them.

Wing flexibility turned out to be the whole game. Flexible enough to keep flapping amplitude low in water, firm enough to hold the robot up in air.

→ Swims at almost 1 m/s flapping at around 5 Hz
→ Flies at around 6 m/s at a similar frequency, close to real diving birds
→ The water-to-air transition needs a pitch of around 70°. Shallower and the wingtips catch the surface, steeper and it falls back in

My favourite finding is the one about feet. Puffins and ducks paddle at the surface to get airborne, so the team assumed a robot would need something equivalent.

It doesn't. Wings and tail alone are enough.

Trump just posted a map renaming New Mexico “New America.”

WTF is wrong with him?

🚨 An Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767 overshot the runway at Miami International Airport and crossed a road.

The FAA issued a ground stop for MIA effective from approximately 2:02 p.m. EDT until 3:00 p.m. EDT, halting inbound traffic while emergency crews responded.

A small natural object 1.5-5 feet (0.5-1.5m) is predicted to impact Earth’s atmosphere just northwest of Australia and safely disintegrate today, Sept. 6, 12:14 p.m. EDT. While not a hazard, scenarios like this provide an invaluable test of our planetary defense capabilities to monitor for larger objects and predict impact threats.

Neptune's magnetic tail can become very violent.

Solar-wind compression can make it flap, tear, reconnect, and eject plasmoids, all while Triton feeds pickup plasma into the system.

A whole new world, volume up! That’s me on the tip of the @csa_asc Canadarm in last week’s spacewalk. The ground team dubbed it the Disney Land ride, given the long trajectory of motion from one worksite to the next. This IRL version of space mountain certainly delivered. At times I faced away from the @Space_Station, not able to see any of its parts, nor that of the arm. It felt as if I was simply levitating above the majestic blue gem we call planet Earth.

There are more possible chess games, by about 40 orders of magnitude, than atoms in the observable universe. To solve chess, you'd have to map them all. Good luck.
