Knowledge Fight's coverage of his legal troubles is great. It's truly stunning how unprepared him and his minions were. Listening to them flounder in court is amazing.

Hell yeah Knowledge Fight. Fantastic podcast.

For anyone out of the loop, Alex Jones is a shitty, lying, scamming monster that put people through hell with just his Sandy Hook bullshit alone, but he also has 20+ years of non stop truly abhorrent behavior.

Fun fact: one of the plaintiffs from the Sandy Hook case who he still hasn't paid a single dollar of the millions of dollars that he owes to, Erica Lafferty, has cancer and had to start a GoFundMe to cover treatment costs while he takes expensive vacations with security detail, because he's a wealthy, paranoid fuck. How neat is that?

Fuck Alex Jones and fuck anyone still defending Alex Jones.

It's kinda insane that his Sandy Hook stuff is among his least egregious rhetoric, it's just what left him most legally exposed. Some of the shit he's said would get him beaten to the edge of death several times over in any remotely decent group of people. It's truly appalling.

I went and watched the many-hours-long source material; I could watch those ding-dongs get bitched at for hours. Grape job!

I worked at a popular Mexican Restaurant, management would often have the cooks make a plate of fajitas for the sole purpose of having a server walk the plate throughout the restaurant. Within minutes there'd be several orders of fajitas come in.

Or chicken shashlik at an Indian restaurant when it's served on the hot plate..

Every. Damn. Time. I usually crave crispy things like tacos or flautas for my Tex-Mex meals so I just gotta learn live with this envy.

But then they don't bring you shredded cheese and that makes you sad

they just put a little water on the hot plate to make it steam and sizzle. it's all for show....and more fajita orders.
