Let the record show that some members of our respective social circles are very, very divergent.

Confession; My give-a-shit factor on all of it was almost exactly zero until I lost a round of Jackbox to peers' Amber Heard-targeted jokes, then give-a-shit levels were 0.01-ish (NOTE: reality ends after these parentheses), then it was "ruin hubski with it", and the real injustice is that people didn't understand the brilliance of my non-Depp-Heard humor that night.

    Exercise for the student:..

It not you, it's me, but I don't know where you're going with this. I wanna say it's harder to influence a mass media v. cause-celeb, b/c mass media financing has entered the chat, but there was plenty of mass media shit going down on both sides, especially for Rittenhouse.

I'd bet the PR funding was more disparate for Depp-Heard PR.

We're at the "how obviously is social media affecting the judicial branch" phase, now, I think.
