Web browsers are supposed to coalesce space runs into a single space anyway, I'm not sure why Twitter didn't do it in that case.

Browsers always do it unless the website specifically jumps through hoops to prevent it from happening. Twitter jumps through those hoops (presumably so people can do ASCII art and emoji games)

Double space after period is wrong. I'm squarely in Gen X, but thankfully our typing teacher long ago was enlightened enough to say "we used to double space, but since we don't use typewriters anymore, you don't have to do that."

Oh no, I didn't mean to imply that Ayton was or is dumb. He was an extremely highly recruited player coming out of high school, I'm sure many universities presented him with possible bags of booster cash.

it's amazing how the arc was literally 'cops drag rear end before deciding to say the gay black anti-trump guy did it to defame innocent MAGA people because...reasons...as the case constantly has leaks that just happen to make Smollett look bad every time' to 'the FBI hears this, says 'oh poo poo so we should look at that', all leaks stop suddenly and the case goes away'.

So... this basically confirms that the criminal charges against him were a set up by CPD, right? Like, not even trying to comment on the original attack because I just don't know, but randomly dropping all charges seems ridiculously suspicious.

Eh, the simplest way to follow the story is "assume the Chicago PD is up to no good at all times." Even if all the evidence makes sense, ACAB and it was a weird-rear end crime to begin with.

more or less, he's getting the charges wiped clean from his record and it sounds like everything was dropped so there's not much explanation other than 'the CPD, shockingly, lied about a gay black man'

Of course this will do nothing to make things right, every story about this is already full of "CELEB INJUSTICE AT IT AGAIN OBAMA :argh:" and the Fox News crowd will never be held accountable for spreading this absolute nonsense about the victim of a crime, but hey.

Nah they got what they wanted by muddying the waters to the media that will just repeat the lies they are told and you will never stop hearing about how hate crimes aren't real.

It's the same thing every time where they release their bogus statement and then correct it a week later when no one is paying attention.

yea this will be just like how they still hold Kav up as an innocent, sweet, man beset by the mob of liars and sluts, it doesn't matter what the truth is, the goal was to muddy waters enough so they can cling to this even after it's over.

yup even if they came out now and said "jk he's 100 percent innocent we hosed up" it's still gonna be "racism isn't real see they gotta fake hate crimes" to those people. they were saying it was fake before any information besides he reported being attacked by chuds.
