tl;dr the actual business of infowars is going to be handed over immediately to a trustee that works for the department of justice, who is going to take over handling where money goes for day-to-day operations while also auditing the business and possibly reversing prior fraudulent transactions. alex jones can no longer send himself money while insisting he’s broke because he owes himself so much money. the trustee will be able to see exactly how much money he’s making, and will be able to send it where it’s actually supposed to go while also reporting the exact state of infowars’ finances to the court, something jones literally defaulted to avoid doing.
Okay look. Stephanie Meyer contributed four (4) cool things to the contemporary fantasy genre, which I shall now list here in the hopes of getting it out of my system. In descending order of importance:
1. Writing a story about a girl who wants something. Plot driven by a woman’s (non-vilified) desire. Truly dreadful execution but still a good idea, sort of a literary incarnation of the “he a little confused but he got the spirit” meme.
2. The fact that when Bella becomes a vampire she can still breathe but “there’s no relief tied to the action” which I remember verbatim because it fucking slapped. The idea of human physical sensations being partially defined by our mortality and the sensations still exist after you become undead but your experience of them is fundamentally different because you no longer need any of it? Extremely cool. The closest Meyer came to taking an interesting stance on vampires being dead.
3. Werewolves are immortal but they can literally stop whenever they want. That shit’s hilarious. Curse of immortality who.
4. The fact that vampires don’t sleep or get tired so their communally-raised baby doesn’t have a crib because she is always in someone’s arms. That was extremely cute and there’s a different, better book contained somewhere in that specific concept.
5. Depression being represented by like 6 blank chapters titled with months.
