    What I posted was her third video (hadn't seen the second one, yikes to that). The third video was a brief and essentially self-serving (imo) "apology" video to Daniel Greene, his wife, and SA victims generally. It was full of "I never said he did ____ but I'm sorry everyone took it that way". All the videos are private now so it's difficult to convey how much the first video was very much a direct accusation with intense pained behavior (I hesitate to call it acting, but it was at least deceptive) and 'receipts' that -- as it turns out -- she deliberately mis-framed or outright lied about. I don't want to belabor the point, because given the whole string of events I'm not sure if she might not have a serious mental illness.

    I will post Daniel Greene's detailed response below, just in case anyone wishes to see it. Obviously this is not plain 'internet drama' but some very serious and potentially triggering and/or life-wrecking subject matter.

    Spoiler



    Cripes, I go to Mexico for a week and this whole thing unrolls way further!

    Yeah, their other video in conjunction with his receipts tells me that Naomi has got DEEEEEP mental health issues. That first video was VERY believable, and that’s kinda scary that they were able to not only present their supposed receipts as truth, but tailors their physical response like they did to truly make it seem like assault…

    I’m glad Daniel was able to present his side and let the chips fall where they may, and his receipts definitely paint more of a picture of a cheaty weekend than assault.

    This kind of thing really makes life so much tougher for real survivors, and Naomi should be ashamed of that(it seems like they are; but we will see how far that goes).

    That Kayla has forgiven Daniel and that they clearly are still working towards trust is palpable.

    I don’t feel as bad about owning his book anymore. This has really thrown me for a loop though…Naomi’s video convinced a LOT of people he was terrible. But to actually see the videos of them admitting what they did…wild shit. Like admitting ON VIDEO to a consensual affair you feel bad about that you sent to his girlfriend ….and then trying to release a video claiming SA? Fucking hell…

    I’m all in on the Thunderbolts! And ready for disappointment!


    If you're going to sell me a movie, putting Starship in the trailer as the music is a way to cut directly to my heart....it helps that the movie looks like a blast too.


    Same. They're trying so so hard for a GotG vibe and i want them to succeed.
    On that point I need to catch up the BLACK WIDOW movie, i think that's the only backstory i'm missing ahead of this.


    Yeah, but just be aware that it's not great and could have been an episode of a Marvel TV show instead...but for Yelena and Red Guardian, it's a must watch.

    ...It's just good, classic fantasy and I'm very much looking forward to finishing it and getting the next book in the series.


    Same vibe i'm getting from Rachel Aaron's Legends of Eli Monpress bk 1, SPIRIT THIEF. I'm holding opinion til i see whether she can stick the landing, but there's an olde skoole caper fantasy feel to this book that's working for me and I hope will carry fwd into the rest of the series.


    Ooo, I got the trilogy as a single ebook years ago and just have never jumped into it, let me know how you fare and I'll dive in.

    I've had a sickening feeling that I can't shake because I'm sure I'm right. When Trump said he was going to take retributions, I don't think it was to just a few of us. I think he means the whole US including his MAGA. Everything he is doing will destroy the lower and middle class and I don't believe this is by accident. This whole scene is so Marvel comics. Is Elon the green goblin or another supervillain?


    I think he truly looks to Russia as the template. Strongman who sought power democratically and then never let it go, installed a bunch of oligarchs in key roles, dismantled the parts of the govt that got in the way of that rule-like-king shit, live cushy while the rest of the country lives a much more poverty-stricken life, or at least lower class but can't get out of the rut class...


    this. exfuckingzactly this. he has four years to do precisely two things: 1. make everything better for himself and his buddies, and 2. extend the party past four years.


    Yep.

    This is exactly what Curtis Yarvin’s Butterfly Revolution lays out—a step-by-step process to dismantle democratic institutions and replace them with an autocratic regime under a single sovereign leader.

    The Steps of Yarvin’s Plan & Where We Are Now

    Delegitimize Institutions – Attack the courts, the press, and any institution that could check executive power. MAGA has been doing this for years—convincing their base that the judiciary, the FBI, and even the military are corrupt and “weaponized” against them.

    Ignore Constraints – Once people lose faith in institutions, you start ignoring them outright. This is the stage we’re entering now, with Vance openly floating the idea of defying court rulings and Conway (on CNN) warning that Trump will order the US Marshals to ignore the courts. There is literally no other offramp aside from getting in the streets...

    Crush Opposition – When protests erupt, invoke the Insurrection Act to justify mass crackdowns. Project 2025 explicitly calls for this, planning to detain protesters alongside undocumented immigrants—normalizing mass arrests of citizens.

    Establish Autocratic Rule – Once the public is conditioned to accept that laws and rulings don’t apply to the executive, democracy effectively ends. Elections will still exist, but only as a formality. By then, the opposition will be neutralized, and power will be fully centralized.


    They have books and missives explaining all this out in public view PRIOR to the election, and still the US is here...And the timeline of for the above isn't years...it's days and weeks...buckle up.
