Did Moriarty get a boob job?

As others have said. She butchered her face for absolutely no reason. She could strap on DDs and it doesn't matter because she went from hot to looking like the Plastic Surgery Freak woman in one year. At least the plastic surgery freak woman took 30 years to destroy her face.

Jobu answers all prayers

If Jobu no show me Kimiko naked now, I say, F*ck you Jobu!

This series has really just become reddit tv show with some hints of story building and substance squeezed out of it.

I laughed at the part where they are going to use Vaught Social Media to arrest people who like pro Starlighter content or content against Homelander.

Then I saw this earlier

Reddit has been ordered to appear before a grand jury in Washington, D.C., as part of a federal effort to unmask anonymous online critics of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

You know the intercept is going to push its politics and lump together stuff. When you read the article you find out in this specific instance going to the grand jury it’s one user, and this and other formal request not involving a grand jury are also mostly about doxxing & threatening ICE officers and pushing the obstruction of enforcing federal law by pushing ICE locations and where to send the obstructionists.

According to a subpoena obtained by The Intercept, Reddit has until April 14 to provide a wide range of personal data on one of its users, whom U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have been trying unsuccessfully to identify for more than a month.

… The subpoena was issued by federal prosecutors in the capital after ICE’s effort to identify the same user failed in a Northern California federal court.

…federal agents have increasingly demanded social media companies reveal the users behind anonymous accounts critical of his immigration crackdown, expressing particular interest in those that identify employees of the U.S. Border Patrol and ICE or share real-time information on enforcement activity. The administration claims the accounts are engaged in doxing and endanger officer safety…

The story of how Reddit became ensnared in an ICE-related grand jury began early last month, when the company received a request to turn over the name, address, phone number, and other data associated with an account belonging to a user identified in court records as John Doe.

---

The below is what John Doe’s attorney says is the worst stuff the user posted on Reddit.

quote:

---

There was a thread from early January, after news outlets including The Intercept identified Jonathan Ross as the ICE officer who shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis. Commenting on a Minnesota Star Tribune article, another Reddit user posted that Ross might be welcomed as a hero in Florida or Texas. John Doe responded by sharing that Ross had lived in Chaska, Minnesota; grew up in Indiana; and served in the Indiana National Guard — biographical details that were circulating widely at the time. “Hopefully he moves up to Stillwater State Penitentiary,” they wrote.

In another post, a Reddit user asked what they should write on an anti-ICE protest sign. John Doe suggested the lyrics to a song: “Urine speaks louder than words.” In a third instance, Doe wrote, “TSA sucks and we all know it.” According to the Reddit user’s attorneys, these were the most aggressive posts they could find.

For 120 million users 778 requests in 6 months from unspecified US agencies with most being about child safety. This one single user involved in the grand jury is an outlier which even the article quoted someone who admitted “could suggest the government is moving toward a significant criminal case.”

quote:

---

While it does not disaggregate ICE’s activities from other law enforcement agencies’ requests, Reddit reports that January to June 2025 marked the highest volume of requests the company has ever received in a single reporting period. Sixty-six percent of the 1,179 requests came from agencies in the U.S., including 423 subpoenas and 27 court orders. Reddit disclosed user data in 82 percent of those cases. While most requests concern child safety, the next highest category of data sought by law enforcement agencies falls into what Reddit lists as “other/unknown investigation types.”

It’s always been woke, but the main guy just completely lost it with the 4th season and being before the election. I thanked him for helping Trump win…

Most people like that can’t change and just double down.

While promoting the fourth season in June 2024, Kripke said when the show was first pitched in 2016, "we just wanted to do a very realistic version of a superhero show, one where superheroes are celebrities behaving badly". Following Trump's election, he described the series as "suddenly" telling a "story about the intersection of celebrity and authoritarianism and how social media and entertainment are used to sell fascism". Kripke said once the team realized this, he "felt an obligation to run in that direction as far as we could".[219] He also said that viewers who think the series is too "woke" should "go watch something else"
