I have never seen someone get so much mileage out of a random joke made by a random nobody seriously like six months ago. No one is coming after this dude, he’s just afraid of consequences for being a lovely person.

Dawgstar posted:https://twitter.com/renfamous/status/1143862828656484352 Surprisingly, I'm not going to give Vic's lawyer poo poo for this. There's more than one lawyer there for the Plaintiff and he's giving his case. Judge's don't like people interjecting all the time. Plus the little hiccups like not standing up happen all the time. People put more emphasis on this then they should. That said, I'm skimming this at lunch, but Monica's lawyer is exactly right in saying that the confidentiality order they want is too broad. They brought up the allegations and twitter and have made it public. While there may be some economic documents or whatever that are confidential, that should be decided on a case-by-case basis, not this broad order that Vic's lawyers seems to be suggesting. If Vic's doing a deposition, it should be public record. He's already made public statements regarding this case. Plus it completely fucks over the woman accusers as they get harassed for "lying" by internet trolls but can't respond due to the confidentiality order. Edit- okay read most of it, given what the judge's responses yeah Vic's not getting the order he wants. Monaghan fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Jun 26, 2019 |

I like this thread an awful lot and am very grateful that BSS has it but I want to caution everybody against treating T. Greg Doucette like he's the Hero of the Beach. He's on the right side of history on a number of things, but check his twitter bio-- he admits up front that he's a proud "Never Trump" conservative and from my understanding all of his nominally progressive stances are rooted less in a sense of social justice than in a position of civil libertarianism. Research into his life story and his background is interesting reading and in many ways he's a fascinating person, but he is also not somebody I feel comfortable rah-rahing for, and as a queer woman I in no way consider him an ally. He's an old-fashioned sort of Republican to be sure, but he's still a Republican, and you know, it's like the parallel issue of not treating McCain and the Bushes as good dudes just because they too are offended by Trump's absence of decorum. The bar for being anti-fascism is pretty low-- you just have to not like fascism. There are still a lot of ways within that umbrella to be a reactionary poo poo head.

lifg posted:Isn't Cerebus canonically hell-bound? How did he escape? This is part of the Cerebus in Hell series, which is a run of single-page gag strips of Sim drawing the character over Gustave Dore illustrations. (Having not read any, it's entirely possible that the cover is a one-off gag itself and nothing inside matches it. Or not. The project, as far as I can tell, exists as a complicated form of mutually deniable charity between Sim and his hardest-core fans.)

codenameFANGIO posted:A guy on twitter posted four pages of that and I didn’t see a single drawing of Cerebus, just bad dialogue pasted over the other person’s seemingly-unrelated artwork. Yeah. Sim most likely went to this format because even his longtime work partner Gerhard finally washed his hands of Sim's nonsense and Gerhard did all of the comic's art save the characters. Whatever happened to Sim's involvement in ComicsGate?

Yeah "Calling a spade a spade" falls in the same category of "niggardly" in that it's technically not a slur at all but you should probably steer clear of it anyway because confusion.

I always say "sometimes you just have to call a spade a loving shovel." But since the phrase is well known and spade is not in common usage as a slur I don't think you have to be too worried about people thinking you're racist if you use the original form, it's always referred to gardening tools. No one thinks your racist if you refer to the suit of cards either.

Also lovely people will use them to play a linguistic game of I'm-not-touching-you. Most people deserve the benefit of a doubt, but phrases like that should probably raise some flags if they feel conspicuously out-of-place in someone's vocabulary.

Amazing timing after Marvel released their Pride podcast today featuring Leah Williams, Vita Ayala and Tini Howard, whom I hope all get treated better. Interesting that Alonso was a bright(er) point for Grace after Alonso's Hercules straightwashing.
