Ground beef doesn't belong in chili. Personally, I'm hoping Alex Jones goes full on loving crazy tomorrow in the court room and there's a non 0 percent chance that he does so I'll be tuning in.

I think we're working ourselves up to the idea Alex is gonna be crazy tomorrow but he likes to disappoint. Lets dial back expectations. That way if he is crazy it'll be even better.

Yeah if it was going to be a meek defense to shore up issues in his deposition, that would be one thing, but I'm kinda leaning towards the insanity presentation. They're trying to press for a whiff of negligence instead of intentional distress. It's already defaulted, but I'm told you can get out of negligence charges via bankruptcy, but intentionality isn't dischargeable. Idk it's gonna be nuts. My memory of AJs deposition, through the lens of KF and OA, was that Alex was the "best" of the Infowars cast at representing himself and dealing with the lawyery questions and deflecting, claiming ignorance, and relying on short answers better than Owen did. OA in particular roasted the depo attorney for his approach and ineffectuality. They've had a lot of time to prepare since then, though.

Froghammer posted:It's trivially easy to get Alex to step on a conversational rake. It happened a bunch during depositions. As true as this is, he was still very slippery and managed to successfully avoid having to answer any actual questions about anything. All that Farrar and Ball know about the case come from sources other than Alex himself. Because he successfully dodged the discovery process, for good or ill, there is still a lot about InfoWars we don't know about. Even if what we've pieced together thus far is that it's a place who genuinely should not have had an audience of that size given their utter disregard for their own content and editorial process, some elements of InfoWars internals have been successfully hidden from us even now. For example, our guesses as to Alex's true net worth is just an estimate at best. Even with InfoWars circling the drain as it is now, he still managed to pull at least 60 million dollars out of it in liquid value only recently. There is likely more.

wit posted:I think the DSM-I's definition of PTSD is "an imbalance of the four humours treatable with with a cocaine-opium tincture in men. And nymphomania in women treatable with witch burning." It's the 50's, not the 20's, so they're a little bit more restrictive with the party drugs. Having read a single paragraph while quickly trying to find the relevant part of the original DSM, the big shift in later DSMs was apparently when they recognised that enduring symptoms was a natural effect instead of a sign that it had brought up latent pre-existing problems. Thus, the DSM-I version is basically "people will be out of it for a little bit after a shocking event": quote:TRANSIENT SITUATIONAL PERSONALITY DISORDERS quote:000-x81 Gross stress reaction From http://www.turkpsikiyatri.org/arsiv/dsm-1952.pdf .

And honestly even that definition would arguably work here - "extreme emotional stress" caused by "a civilian catastrophe" that has "progressed to one of the neurotic conditions". With a huge caveat about whatever the DSM-I has to say about the "neurotic conditions", which I imagine is a whole bucket of worms.

So what would happen is Alex starts ranting. It goes on for far too long and judge asks him to stop but he keeps going. Do they get guards to take him off the stand and throw him in jail for contempt of court? If so that would be a perfect ending to this. I’m imagining this, before they do something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch9gQ9JOe3Y (Last minute is worth it) Eararaldor fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Aug 2, 2022 |

I think he can keep it together enough not to go full 'Devil Robot Overlords gonna kill 90% of humanity' where he's in a situation that's not gonna fly. Look at the Q&A he did for the film.

Imagine the guy who posted his MANLY CHILI recipe on SA but it was full of bigotry and 00s-era edginess and he insisted women would line up to give him blowjobs after eating it, but instead of french onion powder it's ant powder.

Probably not as many outright dumb chuds to screen out of the pool, but CT has a ton of right wingers who seem totally normal for hours before they throw out "They call it monkeypox because it came from black people." and you just wonder what the gently caress is wrong with them.

Glenn Greenwald was not, to put it mildly, an antagonistic interviewer. Bill and Mark aren't being paid to promote his film. They're being paid to make Alex look like an uncaring monster. Different dynamic.

I completely forgot about this loving sideshow yesterday, and now I find out the big beefy pressure cooker of a human being is going to take the stand? el oh loving el. I've seen lawyers say "permission to treat the witness as hostile, your honor" in media before; does this really ever happen and if it does what's the over/under on how fast it happens? Personally I'm hoping the judge just spits in his face before the day is over.

The judge, after receiving the notice of bankruptcy for Free Speech Systems, issued an order noting that Alex Jones himself is not in bankruptcy and thus jury selection will begin today as planned. Additionally, they'll hear the motion to strike the cross complaint and will likely officially disregard with Jones' LLCs officially.

Also FYI for those who haven't been watching before but are going to tune in because Alex Jones is going to be a witness - there are two witnesses before him, Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, who are parents of one of the children who was killed at Sandy Hook. If you don't feel up for watching that, I'd suggest either following a livetweet thread or just this thread until Alex comes on, which will probably be this afternoon, maybe late in the morning.

Stefan Prodan posted:what was the cross complaint? who all exactly sued whom in CT? Jones sued Free Speech Systems, LLC saying that FSS promised to indemnify him for any liability for defamation as an attempt to shirk liability. The CT judge is not buying it, from the looks of things. The docket is gone, though, because jury selection has begun. They're not actually starting voir dire yet as they have hearings to dispense with. I'm sure someone must be livetweeting, but I don't know who. The actual jury selection starts at 10.
