One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

Today at the beach we filled in a hole to protect nesting sea turtles/their hatchlings, fished a 10ft tarp out of the water, and tried to help a teenager recover his sunglasses from the surf, then lost my sunglasses, got smashed by a wave, and cut the hell out of my hands. The beach is a fuck.

Marc is lying to you. Marc wants to pretend that two working parents equals rich when for most Americans two working parents, or working single parents, means living paycheck to paycheck. Affording to live on one income with a stay at home parent is privilege. That’s affluence.

Order of the Court
26-12692
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida
D.C. Docket No. 1:26-cv-20609-KMW
Before JORDAN, ROSENBAUM, and NEWSOM, Circuit Judges.
BY THE COURT:
The appellants, some of whom were the plaintiffs below, move for an order staying aspects of the district court's post-judg-ment sanctions order pending appeal. After review of the record and the parties briefing, we deny the motion.!The appellants mount two main attacks on the district court's speech-related sanction. First, they argue that the court lacked a sufficient basis to find that the lawsuit and the settlement were collusive and that Messrs. Brito and Epstein acted in bad faith.
Second, they contend that the sanction is a broad and impermissible gag order which constitutes a prior restraint and violates the First Amendment. We conclude that the appellants have not made a strong showing that they will succeed on either of these grounds.
