PSA: It's even worse. Craig not only operated a revenge porn website, but he also was engaging in racketeering by secretly running several shell companies that offered a paid service that would remove your revenge porn *from the revenge porn distro sites he owned*.

Does everyone here know that @craigbrittain.com, who is currently masquerading as an anti-MAGA warrior, was fined in 2016 for operating a revenge porn website? A *lot* of y’all follow him. ⚠️ Marked as unsafe. ⚠️ www.ftc.gov/news-events/...

I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

All this sounds fairly academic and innocuous, but when translated into the problem of administering the stuff, the results are horrendous. It is, of course, an extraordinarily effective estrogenic agent, but that is the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known patient*, and so rapidly hypergolic that no induction period has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as syringes, examination tables, cotton wool, and nursing staff, not to mention saline, alcohol, and air. It can be kept in certain fluorinated polymers, provided they are not scratched, flexed, looked at sternly, or otherwise given an excuse to participate. * The only confirmed patient not only survived but lived to a comfortable old age. Throughout life she retained the ability to ignite combustible materials by touch. The medical significance of this observation remains uncertain, but the insurance implications were immediately obvious. She is on record as having ignited cigarettes, upholstery, and, on one occasion, an accountant. Apart from these inconveniences she remained in excellent health, and was generally agreed to have led a happy, if unusually vigorous, life.
