I have no idea about UK law, but in the US you might run into issues if you were specifically trying to delete stuff that would be the subject of a lawsuit after you know the lawsuit is likely. You might be able to argue that you deleted for unrelated reasons. I guess you could even argue that you were reducing harm to the plantiff by removing “mistaken” tweets once you realized you were wrong (thus demonstrating a lack of malice)… But, overall, just running around deleting stuff after you get word that a suit is coming is probably not great.

If the boxer’s lawyers don’t already have copies of those tweets from before filing the suit they are bad and should feel bad.

It’s a full-blown mental health disorder. There is no conceivable reason JK should be ready to set her money on fire over some trans panic nonsense.

My 70 year old brother has the same affliction. He’s already a complete misogynist and hasn’t dated for years but he somehow thinks he’s going to get labeled a transphobe if he goes on a date and discovers it’s a trans woman and he won’t agree to be intimate with her. Just beyond bizarre. Dude was a complete hound into his 30s, had a failed marriage to a woman with all the neurosis of our mother, and then an LTR that ended when the woman decided she wanted someone more stable and stuck him in the friend zone.

I think that when you have a billion dollars, you don’t really care about the money because she could waste a couple hundred million dollars with no impact on her lifestyle. What a person like that may really care about is finding a purpose in life after you’ve become so wealthy. I think that those of us that are not into the conservative nonsense underestimate how much of a sense of community and purpose these people derive from their shared delusions.

Saw this tiktok of the blind sprinters in the paralympics. Very cool. Took me a minute to figure it out.

I’ll be in Paris in a few days. Maybe I can check some of this out.

Pretty sure the sitting volleyball analyst just said you have to take advantage when you have a blocker in front of you who’s missing a hand. Which sounds completely correct but is certainly odd to hear as part of sports analysis.
