Nice Podcast, Stupid is a professional media organization covering matters of the public interest.

- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

Can we get the court to allow cameras?
- Thread starter Dennis Denuto
- Start date
Could Dan actually do this though?
Talk to Tony Aria about it.
Not a joke..
Not a joke..
The Court Rules seem to suggest yes, he just needs to ask permission three days before.
There is a line about only news media being allowed to record, but the rules were written in 1970, and I suspect a more modern interpretation would include Dan's podcast.
Dan, if you're listening, take the receipts for Pat's arrest, his high school diploma, some violent tweets etc. with you. If the judge asks you why you want to record, tell him Pat's a popular sci-fi writer with 55k Twitter followers and so there's interest in things like his arrest for threatening his wife and child.... With a bit of luck Pat will interrupt and correcT the record at that point, and if you can prove that he's a liar to the judge before the hearing even starts it'll hurt Pat's case.

I would totally forgive Dan’s nonsense if he went to the court house with a local camera crew and reported on it like a 70s news reporter - wearing an ugly news jacket with a NPS logo on his microphone. Something like Steve Langford for Stern News
i'd be willing to fly to america and be part of the nps camera crew
Oh my God. This is incredible. This could be the best Dan bit of all time.
What ever happened to Stinks News Newtwork
They could really use a Dan on the Street segment
Pringles Can News Network TV
Dan reporting from outside the court house chasing Pat for a question like reports do for high profile court cases could be amazing. PAT! PAT! WILL YOU NOW PAY QUASI? WILL YOU APPEAL? PAT! PAT! DAN MULLEN, NPS NEWS!

Tony Aria? It's a lock funsters.
Just having someone at the court being a reporter and covering it like it’s the OJ trial would be a top 5 highlight of this saga for me. Asking hooligans guests about it, court room sketches, reactions, etc all while holding this with an NPS logo on the box
Could be as simple as petitioning the court, if they don't already have cameras. Wisconsin has had a lot of trials streamed bc of its state laws regarding the public interest of allowing the public to view proceedigns
We'd need a few people doing competing bits for maximum effect.
"PAT! IS IT TRUE YOU TALKED TO A TOILET IMPERSONATOR ON TWITTER FOR OVER A YEAR? WAS YOUR BROTHER A VARSITY ATHLETE? KYLE, ONA NEWS!"
Just went to the state court website and there's an extensive list of Milwaukee court streams, all the way down to small claims, probate, etc.. we might be getting live video boys. THE PIGGYS COURT
I'm rock hard
The idea of the shot panning over Patrick as he gets into his Rustang is causing serious damage to my ribs.
Someone post the court records so I can check if his courtroom is on the list of streamed proceedings
I think Dan could cover this event live. Pat's a famous author per his own words. It'd be like Stephen King going to court for contempt - no doubt there would be journalists watching the trial.
