  • Last week he urged the court to urgently intervene, saying that if the court did not take action, his website, Infowars, was at risk of being turned over to the satirical news site The Onion.

    The proposed acquisition would be used to help fund payments to family members of the Sandy Hook victims.

    Jones' lawyers had warned in the filing last week that if the case was not put on hold, “InfoWars will have been acquired by its ideological nemesis and destroyed."

    Ideological nemesis? Really? Infowars has always been a joke. Under The Onion at least it'll also be funny.

  • Money, orgies, and pedoohelia? Why does that sound familiar?

    Embattled Republican leader Matt Gaetz who will become the attorney general if cleared by the Senate, which is unlikely, has now been accused of attending at least 10 sex parties between 2017 and 2018 when he was serving his first term in Congress.

    ....

    Lawyer Joel Leppard representing two women who already testified before the House Ethics Committee said his clients informed the probe panel that drugs were consumed at those sex parties. One of the women claimed to have seen Gaetz having sex with an underage friend up against a games table.

  • No reasonable company would send their citizens to work in the USA when there is every possibility that they could be indefinitely detained or "deported" to some third world gulag at the whim of the Trump administration.

  • Just had the same thought. I don't think I've watched it since I was a kid and saw it in the theater. When I stumble on an old movie like this, I always like to check who was in it. It's fun to see who was in old stuff who really hit it big.

    Wizards came out in February 1977. Three months before Star Wars: A New Hope came out. Mark Hamill actually voiced one of the fairies in Wizards! I'm kind of geeking out a little bit.

  • Tennessee Man Arrested, Gets $2M Bond for Posting Facebook Meme

    Jump

  • I actually find it kind of fascinating. There are loads of people in this thread defending this guy and saying that he's being victimized by a corrupt system, all the while not noticing that he is a retired cop who spent his career as part of that corrupt system and who almost certainly sent more than a few people to jail for a couple of months on charges as bogus as these seem to be. That sounds like it might be karmic payback to me.

    Personally, I'm just keeping an open mind and suspecting that there is more to the story based on the rather large bail.

  • Marvel Television’s ‘VisionQuest’ Concludes the Trilogy That Started with ‘WandaVision’

  • I wondered if we would see vision restored more to normal when I heard about Wonder Man coming out. In the original comics, Wonder Man was the source for Vision's brain pattern. I wonder if there will be a tie-in of some sort as a nod to the comic Vision's origin.

  • No way it's just the meme for that kind of bond. The judge must have considered him some kind of risk to the community. My guess is that the investigators found some evidence suggesting that he meant for it to be interpreted as a threat.

  • We don't know that for certain. I mean, the guy actually did go before a judge who decided that he was enough of a threat to warrant a $2 million dollar bail. My assumption is that the judge saw more evidence than was included in this article.

  • Tennessee Man Arrested, Gets $2M Bond for Posting Facebook Meme

    Jump

  • At first glance it doesn't seem like much but there are factors that might cause him some real trouble.

    He posted the meme(s) in the Perry county (Tennessee) community FB group. The meme references the Perry high school mass shooting. The Perry high school shooting happened in Iowa but this knucklehead posted it in a group where it could easily be taken to mean the local Perry high school as a threat. Further, the meme has the added tag of "This seems relevant today" so it was taken as a threat to shoot up the local school. The judge seems to think it was a legit threat too since the bond was set at $2,000,000 dollars.

    Personally, unless there is more too it, I think he'll get off in the end. His posts don't sound much worse than many things I've seen posted and it doesn't seem to me like a direct threat. But then, I don't live by a Perry High School

    Still, sucks to be him since he's stuck in jail until at least December. Then again, he's a former cop, so I have to wonder how many other people lives he ruined by getting them locked up for months on some bullshit charge. Maybe this is just karma.

  • Is it odd that exercise makes me less hungry? When I work out in the morning (30-45 minutes on my elliptical machine) before breakfast, I have no particular desire to eat. If I skip breakfast, I don't really get hungry until lunchtime. On days when I don't work out and try to skip breakfast, I end up struggling to think about anything other than food all morning.
