Just swinging by to provide everyone a bit of a laugh break:

Chuckles loses before one of the most conservative federal circuits. From the ruling:

the only reason to hale HuffPost into Texas is that Texans visited the site, clicking ads and buying things there. But as far as Johnson has alleged, those visits reflect only HuffPost’s universal accessibility, not its purposeful availment of Texas. Accessibility alone cannot sustain our jurisdiction. If it could, lack of personal jurisdiction would be no defense at all…

None of the alleged ties with Texas gives HuffPost fair warning that it should expect a libel suit there. Making a website that’s visible in Texas, of course, does not suffice…Grannies with cooking blogs do not, and should not, expect lawsuits from Maui to Maine.

Chuckles tried to sue HuffPost for libel in Texas because they called him a white nationalist and Holocaust denier. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals told him he filed in the wrong state and to get the fuck out.
