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.

Kinda surprised they spent a fair amount of time on that, but no time on Steve C when you could easily edit the multitude of clips of him getting bullied on-air.
Shit they could have shown Opie's crew of Opie, Sherrod, Carl, and Vic and then go into how Carl & Vic both passed away prematurely. It's the Dark Side of the 2000s, let's get fucking dark.
both Tim Sabean & the former XM exec' said O&A were 2nd choice to Stern, if it wasn't for another XM exec allegedly offending Howie by complimenting Imus then O&A would've been left on the shitheap. Weird to think about considering the undeniable influence they had on comedy / podcasting.
Still don't know who this Matt guy is, he's got a podcast; seems like some very basic O&A lore - nothing remarkable either way but surprised we weren't aware of it:

Started it and got bored halfway through the first episode. There was some things I don't know about Howard's rise, but I always thought he was an attention-seeking douche ("Fart Man" tee hee) and the whole "shock jock" aspect of these shows was corny. I only listened to O&A because I was a big Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn fan and that's where those comics went after it got the boot. The "edgy" obscenity stuff, pornstars on air, wacky stunts, etc. were yawn inducing and I couldn't give two shits about them. The radio beefs too I never cared for. Bunch of fake tough guys that would probably try to blow you if you actually caught them in a fair fight situation. Really liked the radio show just for the comedy and them shitting on how lame mainstream pop culture had become.
