I find my reading retention is much better with physical books.

- 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 to a troll. The individual in the video is very obviously Patrick S. Tomlinson.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never submitted this video footage during any of his many 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.
WWAW with reading?

Listening to records, reading books and riding my bicycle are my favourite pastimes, i try to read everyday. Instead of reading this place so often i need to pick up a book instead.
I go months without reading then will read a whole load of books back to back over a few days or weeks.
It takes patience and concentration to really enjoy a good book. If I don't think I've got the time to commit then I won't even bother picking one up.
Audiobooks are good for the in between days. Not quite the same, but probably better for my brain than listening to 2 hack shock jocks and their wormy sideboob every day.

I love to read. Although I don't know what has happened to me over the last few years but I just can't read fiction anymore.
Love reading biographies, histories and mafia books.

Got into the Archaix. Guy sounds like a Texas hick tho.
Guy uses a lot of numerology and kinda has the simulation theory thing worked out. Annunaki, the Great Pyramid as the tree of knowledge, the Phoenix cycle and the return of the Phoenix in 2040-2046.
The Lost Scriptures of Giza: Enoch and the Origin of the World's Oldest Texts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M16KRKU?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_AS5QWSQ4R9DTJPV27SG8

I usually have a few books I'm reading at one time. A non-fiction, an old favorite author, and something new. I buy a new physical book every month and anything else I get ebooks. If I can't get a torrent or I don't feel obligated to actually buy it, I'll borrow it from the library then remove the DRM so it's mine forever.
I like to have a pretentious book to read at work just so everyone else feels inadequate.

I mainly read Bukowski and Thompson now. Something nice to pass the lunch hour.
That's exactly where I am now. Fiction doesn't do it for me. I read almost exclusively non fiction, especially biographies about writers. I just read one on Kurt Vonnegut and it was pretty depressing.
I try not to think about how many audio books I could have listened to with the number of times I've heard Earl screw up the John C Reilly tickets
I understand that, Dave!
I cringe every time he starts a sentence with "No" (so a lot)
