This is a good book.
-
- 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.

This is a good book.
Probably the last book I consistently laughed out loud at whole reading. He’s a great writer.
I read it then listened to the audio book. The part of him smashing Norton in Iraq is a rib demolisher.
Dune for the millionth time via audiobook
I need to read this. Going to order it now.
Really hurting our credibility by not posting this in our scant Lit Crit section...

Good book?
Reading When a Crocodile eats the Sun by Peter Godwin.
He's a former Rhodesian who goes back to his newfound country of Zimbabwe and each year witnesses the fall of his homeland and the danger his parents are put in. Really puts into perspective the whole independence thing.
Even though the author isn't kind, on paper, with white rule, you can tell he knows it was miles better than it is now.
Unfortunately, the author's Jewish so we get a holocaust b plot. Lame.

the long goodbye
Yes. It’s a retelling of a Japanese folktale. In this version, told through the eyes of a fifteen year old girl, a widow brings home a six foot tall crane as her new boyfriend. Needless to say, things go downhill from there.
On your recommendation I’ll buy it. Don’t morherfuck me.
