I think the single best thing about the Alex Jones ruling is how he just. Cannot stop making things worse for himself. All he had to do was not be a circus clown for a little while. Just. be a halfway decently behaved human being, and not say anything about the case while on camera. And he couldn't do any of that. Every single bit of the most damaging parts of the judge's ruling could have been avoided, but those clown shoes absolutely would not come off. It's a greek play for the 21st century, and I'm enjoying every minute of this.
he's so fucking stupid. he wasted time for so long he got defaulted on in all his cases, something that literally never happens. that same time-wasting is the only reason that the leak of his entire phone's contents included shit from january 6th. he attempted to waste more time by filing for bankruptcy, but not only are these damages not dischargable in bankruptcy, he did so much fucking around in those cases that his company has been handed over to a trustee, which is literally the worst thing that could have happened to him. he has enough money that he should easily have been able to game the system. but that would have required shutting the fuck up for even a second.
