“Citizens awards will be issued to the Hertz employees involved in the incident.” They get an award for finding a child in a locked car on a hot day and _not_ leaving her there? Low bar for heroism, in my opinion. ---

> A call then came in from the toddler’s mother, who had just learned the toddler’s grandfather left her in the rental car, not at his home, as he’d told her I was hoping this was a family vacation deal, and when he showed up at the gate without the kid, someone was heading back to Hertz to retrieve the kid. Instead, I’m wondering if there is a grandma involved? Because leaving a two-year old alone in a house while you return a rental car doesn’t sound like something even the most rabid free-range children advocate would go for. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > The founder of 8chan is getting death threats for daring to criticize QAnon. I’m not surprised. If you ever saw _[Q: Into the Storm](https://www.hbo.com/q-into-the-storm)_ (great documentary), in the midst of filming Brennan had to flee the Philippines for his life. (He was [charged with libel](https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3mqzb/the-philippines-wants-to-arrest-8chan-founder-fredrick-brennan-its-basically-a-death-sentence) under the country’s [insanely draconian law](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/09/philippines-new-cybercrime-prevention-act-troubling-free-expression) and due to his extreme health problems and the terrible conditions in Philippine prisons, he was likely to die if he didn’t escape.) Brennan is no saint for sure; after all 8chan really took off because he allowed it to become a safe haven for Gamergate proponents after they were kicked off of 4chan. It also became a s[afe haven for pedophiles](https://www.dailydot.com/debug/8chan-pedophiles-child-porn-gamergate/). But he doesn’t deserve people literally trying to kill him. ---
