It's not even helpful, you piss off the court for no reason whatsoever and you can't avoid getting the questions answered anyway. Judges really don't want to be the parents driving feuding kids on a long road trip, constantly reaching in the back to stop some petty spat during discovery. Like if you could gain some actual advantage then maybe it's worth raising the ire of people involved but no way is that your default or go-to strategy. What goes around, comes around. It's just so pointlessly stupid lawyering.

Jones then proceeded to call this guy Beefcake for years because of this. He and a buddy went into this guy's office and put gay porn on his monitors as a prank. The deposed video editor believes earnestly that this means Jones was grooming him for a relationship.

Do they have Jones and company admitting to this? Because while it doesn’t sound like Jones was sexually pursuing him, it seems like a slam-dunk sexual harassment suit in the making (not that, uh, Jones could pay out such a thing).

He talks about how he filed a grievance and the agency apparently refused to make a judgment either way.

Alex's lawyer believes this means they found in Jones' favor, the video guy says that's not what the paper says but he lost the paper, Jones' lawyer asks him where he lost it, "if I knew that it wouldn't be lost," etc etc.

The part I'm really intrigued by, there's a redacted section talking about some kind of procedure that Alex may or may not have paid for this guy to have. It's something that they refer to with a long name and occasionally a short name. My money's on "cosmetic rhinoplasty" and "nose job."

While a good decision, Elon's post is mostly a lie (his firstborn did die of SIDS but not in his arms and he didn't "feel his last heartbeat").

https://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a5380/millionaire-starter-wife/ posted:

By the time eBay bought PayPal in 2002, we had moved to Los Angeles and had our first child, a boy named Nevada Alexander. The sale of PayPal vaulted Elon's net worth to well over $100 million. The same week, Nevada went down for a nap, placed on his back as always, and stopped breathing. He was 10 weeks old, the age when male infants are most susceptible to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). By the time the paramedics resuscitated him, he had been deprived of oxygen for so long that he was brain-dead. He spent three days on life support in a hospital in Orange County before we made the decision to take him off it. I held him in my arms when he died.

Elon made it clear that he did not want to talk about Nevada's death. I didn't understand this, just as he didn't understand why I grieved openly, which he regarded as "emotionally manipulative." I buried my feelings instead, coping with Nevada's death by making my first visit to an IVF clinic less than two months later. Elon and I planned to get pregnant again as swiftly as possible. Within the next five years, I gave birth to twins, then triplets, and I sold three novels to Penguin and Simon & Schuster. Even so, Nevada's death sent me on a years-long inward spiral of depression and distraction that would be continuing today if one of our nannies hadn't noticed me struggling. She approached me with the name of an excellent therapist. Dubious, I gave it a shot. In those weekly sessions, I began to get perspective on what had become my life.

If we assume good faith with his statement above (which I do not) then this one is different because it's something that he, personally, has an emotional reaction to. Muskrat is totes cool with all those other hateful bigots targeting the people that he doesn't care about, though. That's not a problem to him personally.

Yeah, he'd probably do something crazy like spend 40b dollars generating a giant fuckoff PR company that allows him to dictate terms to the southern Hemisphere and then ride around acting like he's some kind of hero for using his special powers of "his mommy worked at IBM" to tell everyone how to solve their problems.

I was thinking more in the line of “what if a man with the means and power of Bill Gates used that power to economically tear apart Alex Jones, who appears to implicate him in global conspiracies every other hour”.

It matters because he literally said he was holding his child while his heart beat for the last time. Don't loving lie about something that many parents have actually had to undergo just to win points on Twitter

When he is trying to represent himself as a mourning parent who was there for every painful second of it, except in reality he wasn’t there and did not give a poo poo, it is extremely relevant

It doesn't say he wasn't there when the baby died (and I'm willing to grant him the benefit of the doubt since he was involved in the call to discontinue life support), but calling a grieving mother "emotionally manipulative" is a giant poo poo move that makes me go :nallears: at his own attempt to generate sympathy in recalling this publicly.

Now on lunch break till 1:30 as the judge has another meeting that will run till then.

a couple more motions are also going to be heard today after the defense's response to Bankston's presentation for sanctions but Bankston said those presentations will be significantly shorter

I'm very interested to see how the defense responds with anything other than "not guilty by reason of temporary insanity leading to catastrophic malpractice"



(yes I understand this is civil not criminal but seriously Reynal was just flayed, deboned, and filleted by Bankston imo)

From the judge's tone, she definitely does not think it is worth them attempting to put up a defense.
