One of the technocrat shout outs was someone saying that they shouted some of the drops off a mountain once has kept me going.

I also have called my cats a loser little, little titty baby if they’re in the room when I hear it.

There was a lot of wild things in that episode. The Dollop guys have seen some poo poo in their time as a show but raw, unfiltered Alex is just too much and both of the Knowledge Fight guys are like "What? Oh, that? Huh, well buckle up I guess that's a Tuesday. We got the real stuff coming up still."

Remember: for us to see any of it, we'd need to rely on Musk's legal team to be a bunch of idiots and forget to fild the necessary paperwork to suppress its public release. Otherwise we would need to wait until after the trial is over.

Or Musk would have to be stupid/baited enough into releasing it himself.

Regardless, he’s a loving moron and Bankston is really good at his job so lol.

I fall apart laughing every time I remember the investigative news story from mother jones(maybe?) about a bunch of the minutemen or whatever the gently caress the racist hate group was who was border watching during the trump years

A reporter went down and embedded with them while pretending to be a toughneck military guy as well and eventually managed to coax out that every single one of them had never served and was lying to save face with the other guys, all of which were convinced the others were all legit

I believe it's gummy worms in a bag. I don't think it was Bankston, but his partner in the Texas trial. Might be wrong.

Yeah, it’s Ogden. Which would mean that Musk would have to be a corporate rep because that’s what he specializes in.

Which, really unlikely but I’d love to listen.

You joke, but they have all those X-Files. Like in the documentary.

PS Dan is out of focus but right there in court at the very beginning of the doc.

Edited later : O jesus the doc is absolutely harrowing. They really ground you in the reality of the shooting, loving hell.

So like, I was never what you'd call a patriot, even as a kid, but I still believed in the potential of America for a long time. I remember very specifically when that died on the day of the Sandy Hook massacre. Especially when I saw how we reacted afterwards, and how nothing would ever be changed for the better, how we weren't supposed to ask questions about why it happened, or how we could prevent it from maybe happening again. My daughter (son? I admit I'm confused on the whole past tense thing when it comes to trans kids...) was in kindergarten when it happened, and I remember breaking down in tears and sobbing later that night because all I could see was them cowering and crying in a corner helplessly while they were gunned down by some psycho.

I don't know, I'm probably oversharing. I can't put myself in the mindset of someone who would be okay with exploiting something like that. It's why I get so furious when I encounter one of those people who swear that Alex has a "good batting average" or whatever. I work with one of those guys right now, and he's actually an okay guy, which is what makes it that much more frustrating.

I don't even know what I'm trying to say right now, but I'd like to say I want people to watch The Truth vs. Alex Jones, but it wouldn't make any difference anyway because it's just a thing now where facts are subjective so what's even the point.

4 stars out of 5, would recommend.

Especially hearing a name I recognized and then realizing there were other names I remembered and hadn’t heard yet.

Woooooof.

I got a chunk into the post-shooting coverage and stopped for the night. I think I finally discovered what “self care” is and it involves me telling my cat she’s a very good girl for the next hour or two.

Started watching tonight and my wife was laying beside me. She was just blown away by Jones, Halbig and Bidondi. She could not understand how anyone could treat other people like that.

I told her that I remember seeing Facebook posts that were just “asking questions” within a few days of it happening. She could not believe that people that we knew were horrible like that.

You folks are all right. And hopefully alright.

This is maybe a weird addendum, but if a person claims a gender, you refer to them as their preference in all timelines -- back when they couldn't present as who they were, and in the future when they hope to be themselves. It's ok to discuss transition and the struggle to claim identity, but if trying to make reference to a person, you don't need to bother with "society saw them as an X at that time, and they were presenting as such, and it was only until Y that's they became their real selves". Just assume they were their real selves the whole time and X was everyone else's illusion.

Thank you. As someone who tries to be supportive it’s nice when there’s a specific call out on corner cases like this. If pressed that would have been (a better- phrased version of) my best guess, but it’s not like my cis rear end gets to make those calls. It’s kind of the point of the support.

It was even said one of the parents in the doc, but he's got this sort of charisma about him and you can't help but watch him even if you kinda hate him.

This is going to sound bizarre, but I was describing him to my dad once. I remember hearing about how Idi Amin came to power, and he was a buffoon and a clown and everyone laughed at him until he tightened the noose when it was too late to realize how awful he really was.

Now, I hate Alex and everyone like him to my marrow, and I'd never say what he's done is remotely close to what Amin did, but that's what he reminded me of. We're all laughing at the fat, silly man yelling about gay frogs, but the whole time the people who listen to him hour by hour every day are absorbing the less silly poo poo, like his bigotry and xenophobia. If I have any real complaint about the documentary, it didn't shine a light on just how monstrously hateful he really is, but then again they had their story to tell, and only so much time to tell it.

Thank you. I asked my son about that some time back, but he's still figuring out who he is and couldn't really articulate an answer he found satisfactory about the situation. I do my best to consider every perspective on stuff like this.

And yeah, I'm all right and alright. Been a stressful day with a lot of ignorant motherfuckers and tonight was probably not the best night to watch this :)

Hey, I'm a cis boy myself, but thats the simple approach I've learned from trans folks in my life. Obviously, it's best to talk with people to understand their preferences (maybe don't open with this though?), but that's a good ground rule until you learn an exception.

Jesus, I'm a half hour into this doc. I kinda think it's not for us. We all know this stuff, if only through the deposition episodes. I watched the trails on the live stream. It's even more traumatizing. But it is incredible to see some of this footage. I can't help but finish it, ultimately.
