Mr. Tomlinson has just threatened Leslie Varney, a female publisher whom he has been attacking on Twitter from behind a block for more than a year, to be sued into poverty with a lawsuit that will presumably be funded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
- Mr. Tomlinson's 2021 lawsuit was funded in secret by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, a 501(c)(3) charity, to the tune of $100,000 without the knowledge or consent of their donors or members. They also agreed to pay any sanctions in case he lost (which he did).
- All parties involved signed NDAs so that the general public would never know.
- To this day, SFWA has never acknowledged its funding of the lawsuit, and actively instructs the few people in the know to ignore all inquiries into it.
- Is the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America funding Mr. Tomlinson's lawsuit against the Milwaukee Police? If they are, the general public probably wouldn't know due to their history of funding expensive lawsuits in secret.
- You can use IRS form 3949-A to report SFWA's activity if you reasonably believe that it is illegal for a 501(c)(3) charity to secretly fund frivolous nuisance lawsuits for one of its members.

- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

The Joe Cumia story should have ended here with his head caved in with that guitar.
But did he pay his electric bill yet? My money’s on nope.
The loopah?

The last thing Joe hears, over his mediocre rendition of Desire, is a woman scream "HE'S GOT A GUN!"

Joe is looking very round.
More useless guitar garbage, so he can mimic other, successful musicians more accurately. "Wow, that obese retard is quite an embarrassing slob, but he sounds JUST LIKE The Edge" said no one, ever.
I think if he paid his electric bill and passed on buying a new piece of gear, the realization would hit him that it is time to grow up, put away childish things and move on to adulthood.
In a way this is what links Joe and Patrick: deep down they both know they have failed in their professional lives (as guitarists, rock stars, scifi novelists and online auto mechanics). They both know that they are failures in their personal lives (as fathers, husbands, brothers, sons and friends). But their biggest regret is failing developmentally (never becoming an adult). That's why they cling to these childish dreams of how badass they are, chasing dumb careers/labels and shirking responsibility for their actions.
For Joe to pay his electric bill and skip the purchase of a new guitar effect pedal would take a monumental dose of ego death and self-realization. That is not going to happen to either Joe or Pat.
Honestly, I couldn't think of a sadder existence.
That ship has sailed. The cow is out of the barn.
Joe will rationalize this purchase away by pretending it's an investment in himself, a way to make the Joe Cumia Experience even better, and therefore more lucrative. Which is pretty funny on many different levels.

The empathy on that man’s face is just so endearing.
Same one Eric uses!
I love that his The Edge “costume” is a knit beanie. He looks more like a mulatto Tim Pool than The Edge.
Is that the comp'd high end food platter he was bragging about in the foreground. I wonder where the red Gatorade is
It's not his fault the damn LIBTARD electric company doesn't accept Trump playing cards as a form of payment.
I think PSE&G isn’t allowed to disconnect your means of heating your home after a certain winter date. Maybe he’s waiting for the spring thaw. Can’t imagine what his home energy bill will be come April.
