While I'm not a fan of Greta Thunberg, I love her takedown of this guy since he started the whole thing.

There really needs to be a discussion how many, including women, excuse and dismiss misogynistic men's rantings as nothing more than playing some sort of media character.

I know!  I've even seen people who think the things he says are vile but still thought he was just playing a "character" up until his actual arrest for human trafficking. So it's not like they were trying to argue that he was harmless but just unable to conceive of someone being so vile and that person having actual fans who buy into his BS--literally (he apparently has 100,000  "students" paying money every month to be a part of his school.)

[AstaCharles]

The whole Tate/Thunberg thing felt like it was a cut scene from Glass Onion.  I saw a comedian on Twitter riffing on it in Benoit Blanc's voice ( Daniel Craig's character)

The argument can be made that it's an extension of the fascination with "sexy" fictional characters who display this behavior. It might be better than it was, I have no idea, but there's a reason Penn Badgley has said repeatedly that Joe Goldberg, his character on You, is one of the worst people ever. The rallying cry is that it's a fantasy, that the people who are fans of Joe or any number of other fictional murdering stalkers would never want to be around such a person in real life, but where does the line fall between enjoying the character and ignoring their words and actions? Especially when the collective We take issue with the people who create the content in the first place? If we have problems with the folks who make stuff like this, why is it so popular?

I've read someone's take that it's the first criminal that Musk helped catch, even if unintentionally.

Yes. Also, how many excuse it as someone just providing a role model for young men and boys who are apparently starved for some male role models who will talk to them about masculinity. If that is the case, I hope some normal, non-toxic people (celebrities, youtubers) will step up, because this growing trend of incels is scaring me.

While it's probably not strictly true that he was caught because of his post on twitter what is definitely true is that thanks to his totally unsolicited  boastful bid for attention the whole world is now talking about him and his arrest.  Somehow I don't think that's why Musk let him back on twitter but hey, at least Musk did one good thing.

Before I throw Mr. Musk a ticker tape parade re helping catch Mr. Tate, I think it needs to be mentioned that Mr. Tate was evidently a known fugitive from justice who was believed by authorities to be a threat to women to say nothing of said authorities believing to have ample evidence that he HAD committed heinous acts against women for which they were trying to try him for.

OK, so with this latest New Millennial technology that could pinpoint (via pings,etc) a potential subscriber's location, what was stopping Mr. Musk from blowing the whistle on Mr. Tate to the local and international authorities  BEFORE Mr. Tate's taunt of Miss Thunberg?

And, yes, I TOTALLY agree that parents/guardians need to step up and watch EXACTLY what their minor sons (and daughters) are surfing to and have serious talks re-iterating exactly what's right and what's wrong and be willing to go toe-to-toe re who one considers a hero and what considers a fiend- even if it means one's minors get upset and claim to hate you for not daring to worship their purported heroes!

Nice guys saying "Hey you know how you get laid?   Stop being a douchebag and think about someone else for a change" don't get the clicks.   Just like if it bleeds it leads, if it is being horrific to other people, it gets attention.   I'm sure nice guys actually outnumber incels.   But the incels are more vocal about it.   They WANT someone to validate that their asshole behavior is okay and its everyone who is the problem.

From TMZ (gotta admit, they do get the story) - 

jeremy-renner-new-video-airlift-snowplow-accident-critical-condition

Most of these 'snow cat'-type machines are larger, and used for grooming ski resorts, but they do have smaller, compact versions, which is likely what he was using.

Edit - Actually, the TMZ video shows a machine that I wouldn't necessarily call 'compact'!  Looks pretty friggin big to me, and closer to the size of the 2nd pic.

Too many people using heavy equipment like that often think just because they have a driver's license, they can drive anything.  But the thousands of idiots that end up in the ER's every year disprove that. 

And a machine that has "extensive safety features" does NOT mean everybody is trained to operate it.  And if it ran over his legs, WTF was he doing?

Now, he may have been thoroughly trained on how to use it, but it sure doesn't sound that way.

I used to work in a supermarket which had frequently updated lists of folks who'd passed bad checks (and this was decades BEFORE Twitter got invented) so I fail to see why Mr. Musk and/or his legal advisors wouldn't have been able to  put together lists of  known criminals for the tech teams to refuse service AND blow the whistle to the authorities!

I was trying to avoid cynically spelling that out but my whole point has  been that Mr. Musk left it to Miss Thunberg herself to blow the whistle rather than attempting to use the resources his tech team had at hand to aid the authorities.

I was one of maybe three people in my driver’s ed class (many years ago) who had never been behind the wheel.  The number of kids who said, “Oh, my grandparents/aunts/uncles/family own a farm, and I’ve been driving a tractor since I was 9 or 10 and tall enough to reach the pedals” astounded me.

Now, he may have been thoroughly trained on how to use it, but it sure doesn't sound that way.

According to some photos on his Instagram of the machine, it's not a machine he just purchased; he's been shown to driving it for years, as recently as 2019 but probably longer (Edit: I found a photo of a different Snowcat he was driving in 2017 so it's likely he's been extensively trained in driving it). Maybe he got a newer model that malfunctioned or maybe the one he's had for years malfunctioned, or it was just simply bad luck, but I think that it leans more toward it being an unfortunate accident, rather than pure human error due to lack of knowledge on how to use it. If you've been operating a machine like that for, at minimum, 6 years, you know what you're doing. He's also shown to have driven different types of heavy machinery due to the large property he owns. 

Either way, it's good he's at least stable for now, and hopefully it's just good news from here, although being run over by a Snowcat is going to be, at best, a long recovery ahead for him.

I would add that Tate's decision to go after Greta and not, say, Jojo Siwa*, is what led to something being done. Agree with her or don't agree with her about climate change, Thunberg decided to take this idiot seriously when he said 'please send me your email address so I can brag about my cars' either not having heard of him or even thinking he wouldn't actually do it. Because.....why? If he knew he was wanted by the authorities, and he must have or else he wouldn't have been trying to hide, why reach out to a nineteen year old girl who has already proven herself to be civic-minded? Someone else might have blown it off, but she didn't. He messed with the wrong teenager, and that's kind of beautiful.

*Nothing against Miss Siwa, I was just using another young celebrity as an example.

There is a European organization caked GRETA for the Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings

GRETA is responsible for monitoring the implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings by the Parties.

Someone on twitter suggested that it was this organization that was going after Tate but he misunderstood and thought that it was Greta Thunberg instead and decided to engage her.

Martina Navratilova diagnosed with throat and breast cancer

Quote

Tennis great Martina Navratilova said Monday that she has been diagnosed with throat cancer and breast cancer.

In a statement released by her representative, the 18-time Grand Slam singles champion and member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame said her prognosis is good and she will start treatment this month.

“This double whammy is serious but still fixable, and I’m hoping for a favourable outcome,” the 66-year-old Navratilova said. “It’s going to stink for a while but I’ll fight with all have I got.”

She said she noticed an enlarged lymph node in her neck while attending the season-ending WTA Finals in Fort Worth, Texas, in November, and a biopsy showed early-stage throat cancer. While Navratilova was undergoing tests on her throat, she said, the unrelated, early-stage breast cancer was discovered.

Floods of messages of support poured in on social media when the news broke - including from former another World No.1 American Bille Jean-King.

“Needless to say my phone and Twitter are both blowing up so I will say again - thank you all for your support and I am not done yet,” she tweeted Monday.

I hope she beats it.

The Bengals fans and players were just paying the Bills and Bills Mafia back for what they did back in 2017.  Back then, the Bengals beat the Ravens which then put the Bills into the playoffs, and the Bills Mafia thanked them by donating thousands to various Bengals charities including Andy Dalton's personal one.  I saw online where Andy returned the favor even though he's now with the Saints and donated to Damar's charity.

I remember this story was a hot topic here a while ago, here's an update:

'Rick Singer, head of the college admissions bribery scandal, gets 42 months in prison'

Quote

Rick Singer, the man behind the notorious "Varsity Blues" college admissions bribery scandal, was sentenced Wednesday to 3 1/2 years in prison and ordered to pay more than $19 million — about half as restitution to the IRS and the other half as forfeitures of money and assets.

In addition to the prison sentence, Singer also must serve three years of supervised release.

The sentence is less than the six years prosecutors had sought for the 62-year-old Singer. The defense, on the other hand, called for little to no prison time.

Singer's lawyers claim he already lost everything after the scandal came to light in March 2019 in Boston. In court filings, Singer also pleaded for leniency, saying he has "woken up every day feeling shame, remorse, and regret."

About two-thirds of the more than 50 Varsity Blues defendants were sentenced to three months or less of prison time, with many serving no time at all.
