Oh I agree. I just am trying to figure out how I feel about him not knowing he’s being trolled.

This sounds accurate. Sadly.

I’m trying to figure out which is worse: if we’re being trolled, or it’s sincere.

they’re currently threatening it which is chilling enough. Akiva is a civil rights attorney.

This is exactly how Olthaus argued actual malice in his pleadings in my case. It was ridiculous then and now but it’s much more dangerous now. And it’s only been 2 years since dismissal!

This is how Olthaus’s counsel attempted to argue actual malice in my case.

With their whole chest. In multiple appeals. Loud wrong but insisted.

Just an audition for this kind of stuff.

Yep. Folks have been talking about this for years. Thomas is chomping at the bit.

I mean Morocanoil products smell good but not like a vanilla cookie.

This is a very weird partnership: a hair company and a bakery-cafe?

I don’t want hair treatment mist in my latte.

We shouldn’t be cowed into silence. But they can ruin lives. So we should be prepared to rally in defense of the groups and individuals they do target. Pro bono legal teams in place. Funding. Publicity. Protests.

“Routinely” is a very key word here. This is bad on multiple levels.

All the “journalistic” ghouls in cincinnati are longtime local anchors and they’re thankfully easy enough to avoid.

I just know some poor young-ish marketer had to explain what an “Etsy witch” was to her much older exec team yesterday.

What a world.

(I don’t miss having to do that.)
