The legal system is all about hair-splitting.

He was literally proven in court guilty of rape, in the defamation case.

In court, he was found liable for sexual abuse. Colloquially and in reality, he is guilty of rape. It is important not to conflate the two.

Ah ah - right, I failed to recognize that the suit in question was a civil suit seeking damages for battery.

Still, my original statement is true: not 'guilty' in a legal sense (I added quotes here for clarity). 'Guilty' implies a criminal trial, which that one was not.

Not guilty in the legal sense, but it was a finding of fact that sealed his liability for defamation.

They kind of do.

Explanation: Many early aviators died in crashes. However, many early aviators also survived numerous ~~crashes~~ acceptable landings and just went on to keep on flying.

That is the face of your self-loathing, pleased to be loathing you.

That appears to be one or two resorts of some kind, any idea what they were?

That's Delaware, for the uninitiated. The tax thing is because there's some lady's house in Delaware that's registered as the headquarters for about a zillion shell companies as a tax dodge, because of something something Delaware business taxes.

This is kind of similar to how it is in the US these days, too. There are still banks that have tellers, especially for drive through, since we love our cars, but far fewer. And I have been to banks here where there are no proper tellers.

Even in that case, the person who is helping you behind the counter is still an employee, drawing a salary (maybe plus commission, for things like loans, accounts, whatever). They're still labor, they're still having their labor undercompensated, they're still victims of theft.

 

Law enforcement officials are searching for a suspect after a Tesla dealership was damaged by gunshots in Salem, Oregon, on Wednesday.

This is not my favorite source article, but it does clear up something that's been getting passed around.

Yes, someone shot up a Tesla dealership in Salem, OR, a couple days ago. Yes, this is the same dealership that had one of its cars set ablaze on Jan 20, 2025.

However, this shooting is being conflated with a sticker that says "Kill Elon".

The "name tag" style sticker with "Kill Elon" inscribed on it was not at either Salem, OR, incident. That was a separate thing done by protesters in New York. That's why I chose this article to post, because it refers to that.

(For legal reasons, we cannot recommend this kind of action be undertaken, planned, threatened, encouraged, etc. Definitely do not do anything like this.)

 

This is the site that 50501 uses for its event organizing. Pretty easy to filter by location and date.

Mobilizon is the underlying platform, and it's federated, so that's nice.

 

HOLD UP! CAREFUL! The download size has been marked at 68.00GB, and the actual download size just changed to 30.7GB. I had started downloading, saw it said 68GB, went on with my browsing while it ran. My browser screen just flickered, I saw a bigger sliver of "done" than I though was possible, and now it's 30.7GB. Restarting from the linked page, same thing.

So they've changed the file that was previously there. No idea why. Somehow malicious? Maybe? Realized that they uploaded something they hadn't intended to?

Critics accuse the company of wielding outsized private influence on public policing.

And and -- Knowing as much as you can about how police are trained may be very useful.

President Donald Trump on Monday pardoned Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois governor who was convicted and sentenced to prison on corruption charges surrounding his time in office.

“It was a sort of a terrible injustice,” Trump said. “They just were after him. They go after a lot of people. These are bad people, the other side.”

Of note, those corruption charges stemmed from Blagojevich very openly trying to sell Obama's vacant US Senate seat in Illinois after the 2008 election.

 

This group seems sus. Prove me wrong.

This is not an endorsement of this group.

Just the opposite. Posting this now before I do a deep dive on who and what this group is about. Will update later.


Carlos Álvarez-Aranyos is the guy behind this. A 2017 article tells a very amazing story of this uber-successful adventurer entreprenuer.

Curiously, Radical Artist's Agency out of Arvado, CO, has a short resume for a "Carlos Alvarez-Aranyos".

The posted site makes it sound like this American Opposition place was behind the Feb 5 protests ... but that was 50501, right?

Interestingly, r/50501 seems on board, but without any mod commentary there.

 

I have no idea how one could find this out.

 

An "unannounced demonstration" by Nazis ends when upstanding citizens push past police, steal a Nazi flag, and set it on fire. The Nazis leave, and the resisters are not arrested.

These people were just going about their day, and it was important to enough people to stop and get directly involved. They took on risks of bodily harm and arrest. I'm willing to bet that none of them were "prepared" for the confrontation.

 

Just so everyone knows where he is more precisely. Wouldn't want him to get lost.

Over/under on whether there will be clashes in the parking lot?
