As a young organizer in Chicago, Jackson was called to meet with King at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis shortly before King was killed and he publicly positioned himself thereafter as King’s successor. Jackson led a lifetime of crusades in the United States and abroad, advocating for the poor and underrepresented on issues from voting rights and job opportunities to education and health care.

The famed cartoonist and podcaster was placed in hospice care last week. His ex-wife Shelly Miles broke the news of his death on his popular podcast, 'Real Coffee With Scott Adams' on Tuesday.

Encyclopedia Dramatica is known to be a site for Outcasts, Extremists, Deviants and/or Trolls But I think we should promote diversity, equity and inclusion in promoting the community: diversity of extreme views (not just hating on jews and brown people) equity of trolling (not just normies) inclusion of all kinds of outcasts (no matter how old and fat we are). People need to be reminded that we are an equal-opportunity community, and the original scumbags of the internet instead of those Kiwifarm upstarts. Let's have a group meeting about this. How can we increase our reach and operational efficiency to the world over the next month, six months and year? Please, I would love to hear your thoughts; no idea is a bad idea!
