A lot of people are saying this is good and they're really underselling it.

Not so long ago, I had a cross-examination that I knew would be watched by millions of people. The level of preparation that went into that moment was unlike anything I had ever done in my life. And I pulled it off and stunned the world. This is sort of the opposite of that.

Not sure young people fully get this. I was a 12 year old boy during the peak period of Dolly being the butt of jokes from any TV hack who wanted to demean large-breasted women. It was very upsetting to me, and it really shaped my adolescent understanding of the nasty realities of gender and power.

The families care not at all about this irrelevant ruling which affects only two of the 19 claims they all share. Jones still faces over a billion dollars of liability, so this changes absolutely nothing. All it does is highlight the absurdity of Texas law. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is a very good person to support if you're into this kind of stuff. Mike has served as an expert witness for me. He's the best in the biz at explaining the weird underbelly of screwball propaganda and dissociative politics. And he's a fun writer.

If I took a time machine to February 2018 and showed myself this video before I filed those lawsuits, I could watch my own head explode. “That’s right dude, due to bankruptcy law, you’ll still be actively litigating collections ten years from now but InfoWars will basically be Adult Swim 2.0.”

Yesterday, IIHS released this jaw-dropping crash test of a 2026 Blazer vs. a 1996 Blazer. Watch this and understand two things: (1) Older vehicles are insanely dangerous, and (2) product liability lawyers caused that to change. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U8E...

We had a good hearing in the Alex Jones case regarding collections. It's a snail's pace and endlessly frustrating, but we're getting there. Jones' latest attempt to hold off consequences has failed.

New from me, @yunkangyang.bsky.social @jolukito.bsky.social @jasong.bsky.social @m-dot-brown.bsky.social @beccalew.bsky.social: analyzing sales data released from InfoWar's court case, we find that certain styles (linguistic and auditory) used by Alex Jones on his radio show predict next-day sales

Screenshot of the title page of a journal article in Information, Communication & Society by Ross Dahlke and coauthors. The article is titled “Style and substance on The Alex Jones Show predict InfoWars sales: a multi-modal analysis of a media empire.” The abstract explains that the study combines daily InfoWars sales data from 2016 to 2018 with linguistic, auditory, and topical features from Alex Jones’s radio show and online articles, finding that some styles and topics predict next-day sales.

Line chart showing daily InfoWars sales in dollars from January 2016 through December 2018. Sales are highly volatile, with frequent spikes, but generally rise from relatively low levels in early 2016 to a higher and more sustained range through 2017 and 2018, often around $100,000 to $300,000 per day, with occasional peaks approaching $1 million.

The left column tracks radio show content including Power, Bio, Achieve, Focus Future, and Money; the right column tracks article content including Power, Achieve, Money, Anger, and Focus Future. Gray daily values are overlaid with smoothed trend lines, showing that some themes shift gradually over time while others remain fairly stable.

Radio show panels include Nationalism, Politicians, Show Slogans, Promotions, and Fake News; article panels include Trump, Scientific Discoveries and Controversies, Media and Politics, Attacking Democrats, and Global Conflicts. Smoothed trend lines show modest but noticeable changes over time, including persistent attention to Trump and politics in articles and nationalism and political messaging in radio content.

If I could define my disdain for mainstream media in one way it would be this: no one gets smarter or more informed about policy/history/procedures from watching CNN. If you forced someone to watch CNN cover a bill for a month, 99% of viewers wouldn't be able to answer basic questions about the bill

Smart move by Newsom. 1) Fox is vulnerable after the Dominion settlement and he chose the right number. 2) with Trump, Musk & the bad faith right weaponizing defamation and libel laws to attack their critics, it’s time liberals and leftists fight (legal) fire with fire. Sue ‘em.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
