Don't forget also that Jeong was targeted in the first place for a lot of harassment because she's a minority woman that writes articles about tech, and tech is the worst culture. So calling out tech stuff as garbage gets you a target on your back.

She pissed off bitcoiners by reporting on Ross Ulbricht's trial like this instead of idk fawning over the shitbag's failed attempts at inducing jury nullification or something. Not just assholes from the tech news sphere, but the meth-addled walldiggers of the bitcoin ecosystem too.

Sarah Jeong owns. I don't give a gently caress about this dumb tiff Cernovich kicked off. I've been reading her articles for awhile and she's an awesome tech reporter. She doesn't fawn over companies, she doesn't get swept away by dumbass trends, and she's a solid writer. I don't know about her at the NYT but it makes me hopeful because at least they've got one non lovely person on the drat editorial board.

Heh, many, many years ago when I was making some side bucks as a bouncer you'd get people tell you that you couldn't do poo poo because it's a "public" bar and gently caress you they'll do what they want.

Then you'd push them into the gutter and call them a bitch.

maker chick doxxed and threatened the american journalist who interviewed her because she didn't like the article. this got her kicked off patreon and a bunch of other stuff, it was bad. and when jeong said "wow not cool" maker chick went after her too 

Maker chick in this instance is realSexyCyborg. I follow her on twitter because tig ol bitties. It was a thing because Vice kept on pushing for personal information that would get her legit jailed in Shenzen. Cyborg lashed out of fear and Vice didnt give a gently caress. Sexy Cyborg printed the doxxing info on her LED hooker boots and I thought that was cool.

Just saw this. Letting rich loving pricks at your club run the VA. Burn it to the loving ground.

quote:


More to the point, he is one-third of an informal council that is exerting sweeping influence on the VA from Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s private club in Palm Beach, Florida. The troika is led by Ike Perlmutter, the reclusive chairman of Marvel Entertainment, who is a longtime acquaintance of President Trump’s. The third member is a lawyer named Marc Sherman. None of them has ever served in the U.S. military or government...

The Mar-a-Lago Crowd spoke with VA officials daily, the documents show, reviewing all manner of policy and personnel decisions. They prodded the VA to start new programs, and officials travelled to Mar-a-Lago at taxpayer expense to hear their views. “Everyone has to go down and kiss the ring,” a former administration official said.

If the bureaucracy resists the trio’s wishes, Perlmutter has a powerful ally: The President of the United States. Trump and Perlmutter regularly talk on the phone and dine together when the president visits Mar-a-Lago. “On any veterans issue, the first person the president calls is Ike,” another former official said.

did going after him with the CFAA not work or something? Iirc that's got a bunch of vague poo poo that can be argued by high-powered lawyers as being pretty much anything in breach of the EULA.

quote:

Besides advocating for friends’ interests, some of the Mar-a-Lago Crowd’s interventions served their own purposes. Starting in February 2017, Perlmutter convened a series of conference calls with executives at Johnson & Johnson, leading to the development of a public awareness campaign about veteran suicide. They planned to promote the campaign by ringing the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange around the time of Veterans Day.

The event also turned into a promotional opportunity for Perlmutter’s company. Executives from Marvel and its parent company, Disney, joined Johnson & Johnson as sponsors of the Veterans Day event at the stock exchange. Shulkin rang the closing bell standing near a preening and flexing Captain America, with Spider-Man waving from the trading pit, and Marvel swag distributed to some of the attendees. “Generally the VA secretary or defense secretary don’t shill for companies,” the leader of a veterans advocacy group said.
