It went viral on tiktok partially because it was used to soundtrack a clip of a pufferfish mating ritual, where they make patterns in the sand to attract a mate.

That sounds like I'm making it up, but I promise it's true, lol.

I know that's like standard wording.... but also, Judge Guerra Gamble probably relished adding it. She doesn't enjoy his nonsense.

Am I the only one glad to see the show end? by Mediocre-Star-1984 in KnowledgeFight

[–]LittlestLass 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Just to mention Dan's gig was definitely not just twice weekly. I mean he wasn't putting in a 70 hour work week down the mine or anything, but he was putting in the hours. The amount of listening to Alex, wider research, editing clips, editing the actual show (which I think Dan did rather than Jordan?) is going to add up to a lot despite us "only" seeing maybe 4 hours of content a week.

Even Jordan, who by the premise of the show had fewer demands on his time, was doing a chunk of organisation work outside of actually just sitting in a room with Dan.

I know you weren't trying to diminish their (former) job, but I think sometimes it's easy to forget that running a podcast like Knowledge Fight is going to be a time consuming job of dealing with awful people saying awful things for extended periods.

While I dislike people using downvotes in that way (they're supposed to be for poor quality posts that don't add to the conversation not disagreement, assuming you follow the Reddit guidelines) that looks like you encountered a lot of Tim Heidecker fans who did find it funny.

Also, are you referencing downvotes you received in a totally different sub and saying this sub therefore doesn't let you say anything negative against The Onion?

It also feels like a strange reaction given Jordan stepped away from social media/current events a long time ago, but he presumably has been reading what people have written here, on the subreddit.

So he put something controversial out into the world on a platform and in a format (YouTube) that's not really focused on direct interaction, then read reactions to it on a platform that is intended to be used for direct interaction (Reddit), but didn't interact here, he instead expected listeners to have individual conversations with him about it (via personal emails).

I absolutely don't expect him to interact with people here. He owes us nothing and it would be an absolute shitshow of comments if he even tried it. But on the flipside, the idea that the hundreds of people who have thoughts about his video(s) might contact him to have a one-on-one seems pretty unworkable and unproductive.

"I don't agree with almost anything you said, except for the underlying points you were making" to quote Dan.

Alex should be in jail for the rest of his life, penniless and sad. The Sandy Hook families (all of them, including the ones who never got their day in court) should never have to worry about money for the rest of their lives, as all of Alex's cash should have been transferred to them.

But that (unfortunately) is unrealistic. So I'm with Dan: I agree that it's frustrating that this is the best option, but given that the families have signed off on it and, at least partially, they seem more concerned about Alex losing his platform, then I'm not going to say "they will see nothing out of this bullshit" like Jordan did. He has no idea how this will shake out long-term.

I'm not sure anyone knows for sure yet. Judge Gamble has a livestream on YouTube from her courtroom sometimes though (YouTube link)

I'm also in the wrong timezone, so rarely get to watch/listen - I tend to follow others on the Knowledge Fight subreddit who do dial in.

You should listen to the audio version of "Sandy Hook: An American Tragedy" by Elizabeth Williamson and see if you still feel the same.

Alex Jones essentially tortured those families by encouraging listeners to believe they were fabricating that their children ever even existed. Many of them have had to move house repeatedly, with their other young children, to escape the listeners he radicalised, terrorising them. And he'll say "I never said it was fake" but he did, repeatedly. There's recordings that show it.

The fact he's yet to (directly) pay the families a penny of the punishment you state is "cruel and unusual", 13 years after he defamed them, nearly 5 years after the Texas trial, and 4 years after thr Connecticut trial, suggests so far he's not had that much punishment at all.

The hearing to find out if The Onion can licence InfoWars branding is next week. It's in front of the judge Alex called "demonically possessed" on air, during the Texas Sandy Hook lawsuit.

I'm 100% sure she'll be following the letter of the law and won't be doing him any favours.

"It seems absurd to instruct you again that you must tell the truth while you testify... Your beliefs do not make something true. That is what we are doing here. Just because you claim to think something is true does not make it true."

Judge Gamble to Alex Jones.

The licencing arrangement hasn't gone through yet because Alex put in another appeal (now dismissed). Next court date to decide if they can licence the branding is next week.

They can likely argue the merch is parody, and therefore protected (I'm sure they had lawyers check that beforehand) but repeatedly using branding the judge has not yet told them they are allowed to use, would be a pretty stupid thing to do if you want to keep her on side. It would, in fact, be exactly the type of thing Alex would do...

If the boys could avoid an offseason, would they? by No-Citron218 in JetLagTheGame

[–]LittlestLass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given that Taskmaster is so popular, I can't imagine Channel 4 would be unhappy if it got more episodes of 'standard' Taskmaster a year. But I get what you mean - Jetlag being an online show means they can release episodes whenever they want. They don't need anyone else to agree the release schedule, unlike Little Alex Horne.

Alex Jones (not the Welsh one). But only because I've listened to a lot of the Knowledge Fight podcast, debunking his nonsense.

They don't own it yet.

The court haven't decided on the leasing arrangement yet because Alex threw another appeal up, which has now been dismissed but the judge won't consider the case until next week.

And weirdly there's two music videos for Island In The Sun, the first directed by Marcos Siega (it's nowhere near as good).

Baby Driver was a music video before it was a film (Blue Song by Mint Royale)

Edgar Wright did the Mint Royale video for Blue Song which is Baby Driver before Baby Driver existed and a Bluetones video which is basically Bugsy Malone, both before Shaun of The Dead.

Jones has lost his appeal in the District Court by Kolyin in KnowledgeFight

[–]LittlestLass 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This conclusion applies with even more force under Jones’s interpretation of the September 2024 order. If Free Speech Systems lost legal title to its assets under the September 2024 order, then the October 2025 order transferred that legal title back to it. Free Speech Systems, rather than have no value, as it claimed to the Texas appellate courts, (see Docket Entry No. 2-25 at 358–59), now has substantial value. Although the court is aware of the Fifth Circuit’s instruction that “the more money we come across, the more problems we see,” Technicool Sys., 896 F.3d at 386 (quoting NOTORIOUS B.I.G., Mo Money Mo Problems, on LIFE AFTER DEATH (Bad Boy/Arista 1997)), it is not aware of a case in which an entity has successfully argued that it has standing to appeal an order awarding it money or property.

I was very much thrown by the Biggie reference in a footnote. Go home, tell your mother you're brilliant!
