-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

They could do something to Valve though and he will do what he needs to do to protect his baby
It probably wouldn't go well for his case, for sure. Ask Trump or Alex Jones.
He should show up and wear a N95 no matter what the judge or anyone says. If they try to physically remove the mask (unlikely) or tell him he has to leave if he won't (more likely) then that's easy appeal grounds that he (probably) can't lose.
Also this judge should be in prison for this shit.
I'm not interested in defending a billionaire like Gabe. Don't care. But on a purely humanistic level, if Donald Trump was being hauled into court and wanted to wear a mask, he should absolutely be allowed to do so. This is just evil and honestly attempted murder considering Gabe's age and health.
