Right? Good for Ferrell!
I just don’t understand how people can buy tickets for something and then disrupt it!

Hm. So long as they can’t bring vehicles, I’d love to see them camp in Winnipeg in February.

Hopefully they’ll be scared off by the warning signs.

Good God, that is awful. Slowly drowning in your own fluids. This is absolutely criminal.

If he wasn’t arrested, it’s awfully odd that his car collection which he previously bragged about has been seized.
I’m starting to think maybe we need a schadenfreude thread…

with all the delicious schadenfreude of the house speaker clown show, i was just thinking the same!
my actual meandering mind wonders is there a point of simply too much schadenfreude before onset of diabetes or some such. right now i am wallowing in the sweetness of it all!

QAnon Anonymous rpisode 213: Rewriting Cambridge Analytica (P1) feat Anthony Mansuy
The Cambridge Analytica Scandal involves data science being described as potent black magic, claims of psychological voter manipulation in swing states, micro-targeting, secret meetings, massive amounts of stolen data and a seemingly nefarious plan to use Brexit as a blueprint and catapult Donald Trump into the White House. But we’re here to tell you that the existing and broadly accepted narrative often reads more like a conspiracy theory. We are joined by guest writer Anthony Mansuy, a French reporter for Society Magazine, who in this first of two parts helps us tell the tale of a social media behemoth, a libertarian hedge fund billionaire, a sketchy political consulting firm, Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, and a host of Russian figures.
For this two-parter, Anthony conducted months of research and forty exclusive interviews. You’ll be hearing from Cambridge Analytica employees, data scientists, former Obama, Trump and Cruz campaign staffers, as well as friends and associates of Chris Wylie. There’s also a long interview with Wylie himself and even one with Steve Bannon, who Anthony tracked down in Rome in 2018, just after the scandal broke.
The evidence lays out how Wylie spread numerous fabrications and exaggerations to minimize his contribution to the development of Cambridge Analytica’s tools and conceal the true causes of his departure from the organization. More importantly, Wylie capitalized on the deepest fears held by the liberal media about the far-right, social media, and Russia; allowing him to craft the perfect narrative to fit the political moment — one that persists to this day.
QAnon Anonymous rpisode 214: Rewriting Cambridge Analytica (P2) feat Anthony Mansuy
This week we bring you part 2 of our exploration of the Cambridge Analytica Scandal — cast in a very different light. In part 1 we took a look at Christopher Wylie’s origin story and the sketchy science behind the supposed “psychological warfare mindfuck tool” Steve Bannon employed within Cambridge Analytica on behalf of Robert Mercer, which, the story goes, won the election for Donald Trump by manipulating the masses. In part 2, we’re gonna be taking a look at Wylie’s attempt to create his own Cambridge Analytica, how he turned into the supposed do-gooder whistleblower in the first place, and what it means for the accepted narrative about the scandal.

I read that one. It was bad enough she faked suicide but then her actions just get more and more messed up. Kind of hard to believe it’s IRL

A terrific idea, but there’s so so much of it happening right now I fear I’ll have time for little else.
Mind you, why would I want to?
So yes, bring it on.

“Dr. Peterson has no experience” assessing “the reliability of confessions,” Justice Greenberg wrote in her ruling.
“In fact, he acknowledges that he has never seen a police confession and did not view the video of the confession in this case.”
The judge noted Peterson’s expertise on “interview techniques” was limited to “job interviews,” something that is “benign in comparison to a murder investigation.”
Nonetheless, Peterson testified that “the effect of improper interview techniques” in job interviews and murder investigations are “the same in both situations.”

And he was paid how much?

He didn’t even view the confession at issue?! What improper techniques could he testify about if he didn’t watch the interview where the defendant confessed?
I wonder if he wore his awful Twitter suit to trial
