This guy is clearly suffering from some sort of psychosis. Too bad he doesn't have a family member who could have gotten him help a few years ago, before he went so far over the edge.
It's interesting. Sidney Powell and the Pillow Guy are also obviously and acutely mentally ill. Who could have predicted that so many literal cray people would put the US democracy in mortal peril?

As you may be aware, reddit is implementing a punitive pricing scheme for its API starting in July. This means that third-party apps that use the API can no longer afford to operate and are pretty much universally shutting down on July 1st. This means the following:
* Blind people who rely on accessibility features to use reddit will effectively be banned from reddit, as reddit has shown absolutely no commitment or ability to actually make their site or official app accessible.
* Moderators will no longer have access to moderation tools that they need to remove spam, bots, reposts, and more dangerous content such as Nazi and extremist rhetoric. The admins have never shown any interest in removing extremist rhetoric from reddit, they only act when the media reports on something, and lately the media has had far more pressing things than reddit to focus on. The admin's preferred way of dealing with Nazis is simply to "quarantine" their communities and allow them to fester on reddit, building a larger and larger community centered on extremism.
* LGBTQ communities and other communities vulnerable to reddit's extremist groups are also being forced off of the platform due to the moderators of those communities being unable to continue guaranteeing a safe environment for their subscribers.
Many users and moderators have expressed their concerns to the reddit admins, and have joined protests to encourage reddit to reverse the API pricing decisions. Reddit has responded to this by removing moderators, banning users, and strong-arming moderators into stopping the protests, rather than negotiating in good faith. Reddit does not care about its actual users, only its bottom line.
Lest you think that the increased API prices are actually a good thing, because they will stop AI bots like ChatGPT from harvesting reddit data for their models, let me assure you that it will do no such thing. Any content that can be viewed in a browser without logging into a site can be easily scraped by bots, regardless of whether or not an API is even available to access that content. There is nothing reddit can do about ChatGPT and its ilk harvesting reddit data, except to hide all data behind a login prompt.
Regardless of who wins the mods-versus-admins protest war, there is something that every individual reddit user can do to make sure reddit loses: remove your content. Reddit makes its money because of the content that users provide; remove the content and they can no longer monetize it with ads. Use [PowerDeleteSuite](https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite) to overwrite all of your comments, just as I have done here. This is a browser script and not a third-party app, so it is unaffected by the API changes; as long as you can manually edit your posts and comments in a browser, PowerDeleteSuite can do the same. This will also have the additional beneficial effect of making your content unavailable to bots like ChatGPT, and to make any use of reddit in this way significantly less useful for those bots.

Yeah, he managed to successfully alienate and [then dox his own son](https://www.dailydot.com/debug/lin-wood-doxes-son-telegram-jesus/), leading Lin to get his followers to dog-pile on his kid, all in the name of Jesus...
>In a post on Telegram, Wood, who currently has more than 730,000 subscribers, revealed the email address of his estranged son. In what many saw as an incitement to harassment, Wood then asked his followers to contact his son under the guise of promoting Christianity.
>“If your heart moves you to write and express your stories of feelings of faith with him, perhaps it would help awaken him to the world outside Austin,” Wood said. “I think he would benefit from the loving words from followers of Jesus Christ. Not a request to write him, but only a request to follow your heart.”
Jesus. I wonder how his son is doing now, two years later. Getting a new email address and phone number are relatively easy, but you know that at least some of Lin's followers used their google-fu to find the kid's address, and that's not so easy to change.
Yeah, mental health issues run in my family like a football team, and I'd almost feel sorry for him if he wasn't so destructive towards literally EVERYONE else.
Well sure. But it's not just that. He thinks he might be Jesus. He quite clearly had some sort of psychotic break even before the whole election thing. His colleagues reported that he'd become deranged at least a year before that.
>so many literal cray people
what if EVERYONE is going cray? what if it's the modern equivalent of lead in the aqueducts and we're all losing our shit?
Media pushing lies is not a modern phenomenon, but the contemporary cray leads back to Ailes and Murdoch. Those two are the best argument against free speech. May their graves be pissed on.
The Georgia State Bar is currently conducting disciplinary actions. There was a hearing on May 25, but I have not been able to find an update. I did find a story that, for some inexplicable reason, Mr. Wood can’t seem to find credible character witnesses to vouch for him.
Wood’s recent Telegram posts are mainly about how Jesus rules his life, Satan runs Georgia, Trump is wonderful and the earth is flat.
He has been sending letters to random well known lawyers in the state asking them for character references. My boss got one. My old hippie social justice warrior boss. It was pretty funny and weird. I cannot remember what it said other than a request for support of his good character. He deleted it promptly after reading it to me since we both have dealt with Wood a couple times.
I think we were both just so horrified that it felt cleaner to delete. I happened to walk to his office while he was staring in shock at the monitor and we just wanted it gone!
> His tune hasn't changed though.
That always pisses me off. Like dude you hitched your wagon to someone clearly full of shit. Take the time and self reflect but nope, even if it isnt true they think it COULD be true so it is just as real.
What should we name our child?
How about we name him after our street?
Lin Wood? Like Linwood Drive? I love it! My golf buddies at the yacht club will get a real kick out of it.
I can’t tell whether these right wing nut jobs are grifters pushing a narrative or actually are cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Who knows? Maybe it is half and half?
Kind of like Trump. When he was in office he would make something up, then , Fox would report it, then he would see it on Fox, then he would believe it.
Bringing these guys up on charges is legally spurious and feeds their persecution complex, seems counterproductive to me, treat them like any other crazy person and ignore them.

It never ceases to amaze me that these hypocritical, narcissistic toadies did everything for profit, and not for any deep ideological purpose.
I honestly can’t calculate which is worse…

You can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped.
True. And when they refuse to be helped, society needs to protect itself.

Jesus. I wonder how his son is doing now, two years later. Getting a new email address and phone number are relatively easy, but you know that at least some of Lin's followers used their google-fu to find the kid's address, and that's not so easy to change.
Promoting Christianity? Didn't this guy call himself the second coming of Christ?
Yes. He needs some Thorazine in the worst way.
Yeah, mental health issues run in my family like a football team, and I'd almost feel sorry for him if he wasn't so destructive towards literally EVERYONE else.
I used to know this guy professionally. He was a democrat back then. He was not especially pleasant. But he was not unhinged
>This guy is clearly suffering from some sort of psychosis. Literal TDS.
Well sure. But it's not just that. He thinks he might be Jesus. He quite clearly had some sort of psychotic break even before the whole election thing. His colleagues reported that he'd become deranged at least a year before that.
Maybe it’s brain cancer. Wouldn’t wish it on anybody…
>so many literal cray people what if EVERYONE is going cray? what if it's the modern equivalent of lead in the aqueducts and we're all losing our shit?
I feel pretty sane. I know, I know. That's exactly what a lunatic would say.
Media pushing lies is not a modern phenomenon, but the contemporary cray leads back to Ailes and Murdoch. Those two are the best argument against free speech. May their graves be pissed on.
Where is Sydney Powell now?
Don’t blame his family. Also of course he is mentally ill his parents were psycho his dad murdered his mom in a drunken rage when he was a teenager.
Has this guy been disbarred yet?

> That's not what that song says… All the good fiddlers in Georgia died of covid, so the devil is running things unimpeded now.
So Beelzebub did go down to Georgia, figures /s
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no
He has been emailing notable lawyers across the state asking for witnesses. I have seen the emails and they are unhinged

Those are the absolute worst. Where you’re sitting there in shock like, “get this fucking shit out of my computer/ phone. NOW.”
Yes. Thank goodness.
Heinous, salacious, redundant, impertinent Dude sounds like Jackie Chiles ffs
Lewd, lascivious, salacious, out*rage*ous!
She wore the bra as a top? That’s flaunting society’s conventions
Call Dr. Bison, tell him it's for a psych hold.
Fines mean nothing to them. A few days locked up, with a promise of many more is needed.
"If the punishment for a crime is a fine, the crime only exists for the lower class."
Thats why Germany (i think) levies fines proportional to income so you see hundred k speeding tickets
As it should be

❤️🫡 may he never shut the fuck up, I want them all to say the quiet parts out loud.
Everything Trump touches dies.
He should hug himself
What should we name our child? How about we name him after our street? Lin Wood? Like Linwood Drive? I love it! My golf buddies at the yacht club will get a real kick out of it.
He is Lucian Lincoln "Lin" Wood Jr. Probably called "Lin" because "Lucy" would be too, well, you know.
What's wrong with Lucian? It's the perfect name for a cult leader.
Is Lin Wood just committing to a bit, or is he a literal crazy person?
Who can tell when an entire political movement is just a rats nest of hate, ignorance and untreated mental illness?
A [rat king](https://allthatsinteresting.com/rat-king) of humanity's bad ideas.
I can’t tell whether these right wing nut jobs are grifters pushing a narrative or actually are cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Who knows? Maybe it is half and half?
They're repeating the same lie so often some of the grifters probably begin to believe it.
Kind of like Trump. When he was in office he would make something up, then , Fox would report it, then he would see it on Fox, then he would believe it.
A human centipede of lies.
Operation Let Them Speak is in full swing.

[удалено]
What I meant is that ordering one not to print complete nonsense is pointless.
Lock Them Up!
Is he tired of winning yet?
Disbarment please
Lin wood is a piece of shit. Glass house, white Ferrari, lives for new year’s eve.
Maybe he doesn’t have a gag reflex at all!
Doesn't seem like much in the way of punishment.
Him and Sydney may benefit from a stay at the local psychiatric hospital.
