Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.

- 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 emergences (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.
How many of you actually think you’ll retire?

Retirement is the least likely outcome for my future, I really do anticipate having to fight cannibals off during the day and hiding from chinese commandos at night. My diet will consist of canned goods, cigarettes and hard liquor.
Who knows, I recently saw some of my boomer relatives and they’re all pretty much relying on social security to survive retirement. My parents are both fine (ones retired and one is winding down / selling his business etc) but I was really surprised to hear how many of my family in their early 60s never invested / planned for the future, just had the mind set “social security will be there and be enough!”
I’m in my mid 30s with a 401K, Pension, and have been investing since my 20s because I want my dividends pay all my monthly bills. I’ve been told since I was a teenager social security wouldn’t be around when I retire so I planned accordingly which probably means I won’t live to see retirement and die before it. That will be a real Oopsie doodles.

Social security is a massive ticking Ponzi scheme time bomb. Only retards and boomers (lol same thing) believe otherwise.
I also have no faith my private investments and savings will be there, either though.
I hope you run into a proper Patrick Bateman and get chainsawed in half so I don't have to read your sheboon chatterings.
That’s why I’ve always hated seeing a part of my paycheck go to SS, I would rather have that money to invest. I was really shocked at how many of my family members close to the retirement age have just about NOTHING prepared for retirement. I started in my 20s putting money away / investing / etc and they just all spent whatever they had on dumb shit over the years and now are crossing their fingers SS will be enough.
Funny part was they were all jealous of my one uncle because he knew to work a boring government job since he could retire with a nice pension and all in his early 50s
Get rid of the new SS and bring back SS classic I say.
You’re lucky to even have a pension. Not a lot of those anymore
I agree it’s wild so many people had no plan for retirement. They really thought the party would never end even though it’s never gone like that in human history
Those people had the opportunity to at least get on the property ladder and have a home paid off at retirement, nobody else will be able to under the age of 30 going forward.
It’s going to be bleak, very very bleak. You’ll die when you can’t work anymore.

It depends what kind of liquidity you're talking about. If you're in your 30s-40s and you have 1-5 mill in total assets - i.e. property, cash and investments, you're probably still a little insecure if you're talking about lifetime retirement. If you're that age and you've got a property or two paid off and a couple of mill + cash and spread over a few mixed funds, yeah, you're golden.
Probably
The way things are going those social security people are going to spend 40 hours a week waving other poors into walmart. Investing young, maxing match 401ks, and buying real estate are the best things you can do for individual security. No way in hell would I trust anyone to guarantee me a pension
