That was my first thought too. If she were really a victim of a massive tsunami/deluge/jizzstorm/holocaust of hatred and threats and had been unmercifully doxxed by a massive mongol army of slavering neckbeards, you'd think her leaked phone number would have become radioactive and unusable in approximately a nanosecond.

Scanning her Twatter feed she's becoming indistinguable from Rebeccunt -- she and Twatson and Suckeesian are quite the trio - poster girls for millennial feminism, which mostly involves being a profoundly lazy and untalented new media douchebag scam artist and covering your iphone bill by turning tricks as a sugar baby for credulous white knights.

It's hard for me to dislike Jon Stewart given how we are teh same age, similar backgrounds, both liberal Jew, I thought of myself once as a comedian, he's exceedingly successful and I am exceedingly not, he's rich and famous, I am poor and uh, not, ....

But at any rate, I watch his show and while I like almost all of what I hear, his act is pretty old and filled with cliche Jon Stewart.

I'm snarked out these days and even Jon Stewart is growing a bit stale.

Reagrding the recent investigations into the apparent dishonesty from Quinn and Sarkeesian (which I doubt anyone here is remotely surprised about) I hope folk who've been dismissing the idea that game journalism looks at this and realise that while for years there has been very little "games journalism" rather than a group of quasi-autonomous dupes being fed freebies by P.R. companies we might finally be seeing the beginning of more rigorous investigative journalism with regards to the games industry.

It is something that would interest me to see more hard news about the abuse of employees by the larger corporate concerns, the money laundering and corruption that goes on through MMO's and other such more important news. Having read (in business papers) some of the amateur showtimes that went on in both Funcom and CCP, I think the games companies which are currently by far the largest entertainment industry have been treated like a quirky novelty rather than multi-national concerns and they should be held to the same standard as other industries.

I'm really surprised that RD hasn't reacted to PZ's infantile nonsense at this point. He's like a Buddhist monk meditating in the vestibule of Dante's hell, sitting quietly while he's goaded by wasps and wretched vermin. He must be trying the "don't feed the trolls" approach, but I'd actually prefer to see him publicly disavow that bunch and block them on twitter.

California, for Intra-State calls, can require two-party consent. But for inter-state calls, Federal statute trumps State.

'Under the color' means with the authority of the State. A policeman acts 'under color' when he enforces the law.

http://reason.com/archives/2012/04/05/7 ... ing-police

7 Rules for Recording Police
Courts are expanding rights but cops are cracking down. Find out how to keep your footage, and yourself, out of trouble.

Twelve statesâ€”California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washingtonâ€”require the consent of all parties for you to record a conversation.

However, all but 2 of these statesâ€”Massachusetts and Illinoisâ€”have an â€œexpectation of privacy provisionâ€ to their all-party laws that courts have ruled does not apply to on-duty police (or anyone in public). In other words, itâ€™s technically legal in those 48 states to openly record on-duty police.

So I'm glad you made me look, because it turns out California's two party law is not as stupid as I thought (the part in italics is new to me and good to see), though I still think it stupid. However, the California Supreme Court disagrees with you

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_ ... ent_states

The California Supreme Court ruled in 2006 that if a caller in a one-party state records a conversation with someone in California, that one-party state caller is subject to the stricter of the laws and must have consent from all callers (cf. Kearney v. Salomon Smith Barney Inc., 39 Cal. 4th 95[34]). However, non-disclosure recordings by one of the parties can legally be made if the other party is threatening kidnapping, extortion, bribery, or other felony violence. Also included is misdemeanor obscenity and threats of injury to persons or property via an electronic communication device (usually a telephone). All threats must be directed towards one's self or family members and not third parties. (California Penal Code Â§ 633.5)

However, Aurini is based in Alberta, Canada if his twitter page is correct, so I think it means they will have to take him to INTERPOL or Nuremberg to prosecute.

Peezus! Aren't you people paying any fucking attention? You can't ask the police if they were the victim of a crime because they were the victim of a crime, so the rules about ignoring them (due to Stockholm Syndrome, etc) kick in. I mean, shit. If we're allowed to ask the police whether they care if they were recorded, the next we'll be doing is asking Janay Rice if she was assaulted, and then where will we be?
