Description:

As the TKPOTD for four years ago today shows, one of the reasons that Team Kimberlin s LOLsuits have all failed is that they ve been exercise in pushing back twice one-tenth as hard.* * * * *When the Cabin Boy™ went forum shopping for LOLsuit VIII: Avoiding Contact, he did a mind-bogglingly poor job of selecting the venue. We defendants in his multiple LOLsuits have been trying to get the courts to treat him as a vexatious litigant and to require that his cases be prescreened by a Magistrate Judge before summonses are issued. He s filed LOLsuit VIII in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina, a court that requires all pro se plaintiff s cases be prescreened. So by his inept selection of a forum, The Dreadful Pro-Se Schmalfeldt has effectively granted one of the forms of relief we defendants have been seeking for the past three years.He s not off to a very good start with LOLsuit VIII, and I suspect it will downhill all the way for him, which brings up these two comments—Heh, and everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.Oh, one more thing . it s T-minus 1 day and counting in the Hoge v. Kimberlin, et al. lawsuit.* * * * *OTOH, they do have a perfect batting average—0.000.The actions of human beings are not invariably governed by the laws of pure reason—Wilkie CollinsI think so, Brain but at least I ve never wound up having to pay a newspaper to print my picture.Quite often, the members of Team Kimberlin delusions of adequacy lead them to make demands for things they are entitled to. This Prevarication Du Jour from seven years ago today dealt with one of Bill Schmalfeldt s vain attempts to be a Grand Inquisitor.* * * * *Not surprisingly, we have another one from the Cabin Boy™. (H/T, @embryriddlealum)According to their communication with me, CreateSpace doesn t need to see any documentation from me. They ve pulled Schmalfeldt s book until a resolution has been reached between both parties. Since I do not wish to grant permission to anyone to publish the work in question in book or ebook form, the matter is now resolved as far as I m concerned.* * * * *And that was that.Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.—John MiltonI think so, Brain but can we bring enough coal-fired plants on line soon enough to power all those electric cars?Facebook has been blocking links to Hogewash! for a bout a year. Recently, they stated that the reason someone could not post a link to Hogewash! was because of spam. I contacted Facebook demanding that they either provide evidence of a connection between this site and spam by close of business Eastern Time yesterday or that they cease and desist from blocking links to Hogewash!.I received no response from Facebook. However, when one of the Gentle Readers attempted to link to a post yesterday evening, he received this notice—I am not amused.The TKPOTD for five years ago today dealt with one of the filings in the untimely appeal The Dread Deadbeat Pro-Se Kimberlin filed in the RICO Madness LOLsuit.* * * * *The lawyers for Glenn Beck and his companies have filed an informal reply brief in The Dread Pro-Se Kimberlin s appeal of the Kimberlin v. The Universe, et al. RICO Madness. View this document on ScribdMy favorite line from the brief is:Appellees join in, and incorporate by reference, the other jurisdictional arguments set forth in the Informal Response Briefs of appellees Aaron Walker and William Hoge.Heh.UPDATE—Breitbart, RedState, and Erick Erickson also filed informal reply briefs on Monday. You can read them here.* * * * *And was probably the high water mark of my pro se legal wrangling.Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right.—Isaac AsimovI think so, Brain but if the politicians are going to engage in a Marxist dialogue, could it please be Harpo s?Susan Crabtree has an article over at RCP titled Group of Tech Execs Takes On Social Media Censorship. It takes a look at what may be going on behind the scenes in Silicon Valley related to Facebook s recent uncensoring of discussion about the possibility of a lab leak being the source of the recent pandemic from the point of view of Mike Matthys, a venture capital executive. She also cites Matthys criticism of Facebook s censorship relating to a Wall Street Journal review of a book on climate change, YouTube s suppression of a video about the efficacy of masks and lockdowns by Gov. DeSantis and physicians from Stanford and Harvard, and an attempt by Reps. Eshoo (D-CA)  and McNerney (D-CA) to pressure media companies.[P]olitically biased censorship only further fuels widespread mistrust in the media writ large – especially when they suddenly reverse course and lift bans on certain narratives that subsequent evidence shows weren’t crackpot ideas at all.Many of the Titans of Tech have become intoxicated with their success to date. They ve become legends in their own minds, and that has led them to overreach. Hubris invariably attracts Nemesis.Hogewash! is very tiny slice of the overall media pie, but it has been the a victim of social media censorship. In 2015, my blog and I were banned from Twitter because truthful reporting was deemed to be targeted harassment. That was very early in Twitter s campaign to control The Narrative, and the company wound up restoring one of my accounts. However, Twitter has applied some of the lessoned learned dealing with accounts like mine to refine their censorship methods and try to keep them within the Section 230 safe harbor.About a year ago, I began receiving emails and comments saying that Facebook was not permitting users to post links to Hogewash! because this site violated Facebook s community standards. Given Facebook s behavior with regard to free speech, I took that as a badge of honor, and late in 2020, I closed my own Facebook account. Last month, I received an email from one of the Gentle Readers with a copy of a notice he received when he tried to link to a post at Hogewash!. This notice gave a more specific reason for banning links to Hogewash!—it claimed this site is a source of spam.I have asked Facebook to provide me with any evidence they have connecting this site with spam by close of business today.When I worked in the audio business, we used to jokingly describe a wide band system as working from dc to daylight. This picture of the M101 (aka, the Pinwheel Galaxy) uses images take in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet and X-rays from four of NASA s space-based telescopes. The wide-spectrum view shows that both young and old stars are evenly distributed along the galaxy s spiral arms. Composite images allow astronomers to see how features in one part of the spectrum match up with those seen in other parts. It is like seeing with IR night-vision goggles, a regular camera, an ultraviolet camera, and X-ray vision, all at the same time.The Pinwheel Galaxy is in the constellation of the Big Dipper. It is about 70 percent larger than our own Milky Way Galaxy about 21 million light years from Earth.Image Credit: NASAThis episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Atsign first ran six years ago today.* * * * *ANNOUNCER: From Westminster, it’s time for—SOUND: Skype rings once.JOHNNY: Johnny Atsign.JENSEN: (Telephone Filter) Good morning, Mr. Atsign. My name is Ernest Jensen. I think you might be able to help me.JOHNNY: Hello, Mr. Jensen. What can I do for you?JENSEN: (Telephone Filter) I’ve heard that you’ve done some investigating related to a guy on the Internet called The Grouch.JOHNNY: He’s crossed my path.JENSEN: (Telephone Filter) He’s suing me for defamation.JOHNNY: He sues a lot of people, and, yes, I may be able to help you.MUSIC: Theme up and under.ANNOUNCER: The Lickspittle Broadcasting System presents W. J. J. Hoge in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed Twitter account, America’s fabulous free-lance Internet investigator …JOHNNY: Yours Truly, Johnny Atsign!MUSIC: Theme up to music out. Continue reading If you can paint a really good picture of a cow, you don t have to write the word cow under it.—Sam IrwinI think so, Brain but wouldn t it be more appropriate for some of the politicians to lay a wreathe at the Tomb of the Unregistered Voter.It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived. George S. PattonHyperion is one of Saturn s moons. It is named for one of the Titans who was the Greek god of watchfulness and observation and the older brother of Cronus. Saturn was the analog of Cronus in Roman mythology.Hyperion is one of the largest irregularly shaped bodies in the Solar System, and it rotates chaotically, tumbling unpredictably as it orbits Saturn. That made it  challenging to target a specific region of the moon s surface for observation by the Cassini spacecraft, and most of Cassini s approaches saw the same side of the craggy moon. The view above is from a closest encounter in 2005.BTW, the first time I saw this picture, I was reminded of a wasps nest.Image Credit: NASAMaybe it s a Montgomery County thing to try to have someone arrested on a false charge of violating a peace order. It was nine years ago yesterday that Brett Kimberlin s false complaint cause Aaron Walker to be arrested, booked, and jailed for a few hours. Nine years ago today, I posted this: Aaron Walker s Arrest—Early Edition.* * * * *Patterico has a good analysis which untangles some of the gnarly mess of the reporting about yesterday s farce. Read it. All the way through. At the end, he recommends reading David Hogberg s eye witness report of the hearing.Brett Kimberlin and his allies are acting as if they have a winning strategy. He was lucky yesterday to draw an elderly judge who doesn t seem to understand the Internet, blogging, or social media. I doubt that his luck will hold out. IANAL, but it looks as if Walker should prevail on appeal. We need to support him and the other bloggers being abused by Kimberlin and his friends.The donation web site is here. [Expired link.]UPDATE Glenn Reynolds (JD, Yale, 1985) notes:Walker also made a major error by representing himself. No lawyer should do that in anything more than a minor traffic offense. This goes double for Yale Law grads. . . .* * * * *Judge Vaughey was not only overruled on appeal, he wound up being reprimanded by the Commission of Judicial Disabilities.And Kimberlin has lost all of this anti-free-speech LOLsuits and all his appeals since 2012.Change based on principle is progress. Constant change without principle becomes chaos.—Dwight D. EisenhowerI think so, Brain but so many politicians seems to have 20/20 visions of our wallets.
