“Hey black guy, hook me up with some coke.”

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.

It was licensed by Comedy Central after the theater run and is on both DVD and Blu Ray. I wonder if it made anything at all from that.
No chance. The producers were Stern fans who put up the biggest shares of the money. And some of the actors and actresses got paid a small flat rate. Tina Fey herself was paid $500 for a cameo....but had to sign up for SAG and their medical insurance which cost her over $1,000 so she lost money overall. Most people probably lost money on it. Artie could make ten times more doing a big standup gig in one night than working a few years on just Beer League.
There was a huge fight one time between Artie and various people. Because they wanted to change the name of the film to "Artie Lange's Beer League" when it became apparent that the movie sucked and would bomb. So Artie could be the face and name of this failure and abortion. And they could use his name to at least market the film and make a little more money back from duping Stern fans. And Artie was a junkie who didn't want to market the film but just get it over with and go back to Stern and standup comedy. Because he knew that the film was a train wreck. So at least if Artie was high on drugs they could still get his name out there in the title if he was 'too sick' to do press tours.
But Artie had his name put in small font on the posters and repeatedly called it just "Beer League" whenever he mentioned it on Stern. Technically the name of the film is not "Beer League" it is "Artie Lange's Beer League". I would bet that the actual copyright uses the full time as well even if places like IMDB use the shorter name. And everyone on Stern just called it the short name. The produces probably had the idea from "Howard Stern's Private Parts" instead of just "Private Parts". Another bomb.
I watched it recently and enjoyed it, tbchwy. I also go into a movie like that not expecting a masterpiece and just hoping for a few chuckles and a run time not exceeding 100 mins.
The weird part is Artie actually looked good during it, so that's wild about the heroin rumors. Although, i guess not... at a place I used to work this obese guy started losing weight and people were complimenting his new healthy looks, but it turns out he had just started a crack habit
Cara Buono being so fawkin' pretty and playing the artie character's love interest took me out of it a bit tbchwy, but it's all good
Her being a slut that’ll fuck anyone was a good enough explanation for me.
I like Beer League well enough. It’s more just a collection of one-liners with a story loosely written around them. It makes me laugh when I watch it and that’s all that matters.
