Who are those people?
Balabhadra "Alex" Graveley - According to his LinkedIn, he's a principal engineer at GitHub and the creator of GitHub Copilot, Dropbox Paper, MobileCoin, and Hackpad (YC12). He seems (TW: schizo website) to be close with the CEO of GitHub.
gookgette (what an unusual nickname!) - supposedly the woman who accused Balabhadra of assault, but can't make up her mind if it actually happened. It seems she wants to remain anonymous.
betsydupuis/Betsy Dupois - According to her bio on Twitter, Product Designer, Developer, Artist, and Musician. She's also an ex-girlfriend of Balabhadra and, clearly, she hates him.
Selected quotes
gookgette disputes the contents of the affidavit:
I am the girl who filed the report. this is MY story. Alex did not strangle me. We had a lovers’ quarrel. No one got injured. The police grossly exaggerated the story, and have since revised my account after I called them out on it. I have been working with the prosecutor’s office to get the charges dropped. Please respect our privacy.Please do not spur on rumors and conspiracy theories, and use my case as your own vendetta, Betsy. You have defamed Alex all over the internet, posting every 15 minutes, contacting his employer, coworkers, family, and friends. This is not sane. Alex has a big heart, is so incredibly caring, fun, open-minded, and has invented numerous revolutionary programs to change the world and help others, which I imagine are reasons why Betsy, you loved him, too.
I saw your messages begging Alex to come back to you and that you loved him… Please, for your own sake, see a counselor and learn to move on, heal, and find someone who loves you the way you deserve and want to be loved.
Betsy, This happened to me, not you. I was nowhere near death. The police changed my story and exaggerated my account. There was no strangulation. Stay in your lane. Mind your own business. Please get over Alex and find a new man to stalk and obsess over
Betsy (the other ex-GF of Alex) is surprised:
If you are even really her...
Why did you accuse him of strangling you again on Twitter on October 14, 2021 a full 52 days after the incident then?

Lol it is really me. Look at you, crazy vindictive lady, saving everything on a google drive. It wasn’t strangling the way you think it was. Once again, the police used inflammatory words to make it sound worse then it seems. They get $10k from fines, go figure
Saving evidence... is crazy?
You have spent 3 years trying to cancel Alex (a man you dated for less than 3 months) after he broke up with you realizing you guys were both incompatible, and you are up on this site at 2am posting every 15 minutes about a man who didn’t love you back. Look, I’ve been there. It’s hard. I’ve loved and lost too. But please, for your own sake, move on. Why are you trying so hard to ruin people’s lives? Will it make you happy seeing someone’s downfall or will it make you happy seeing someone heal and be redeemed, or better yet, yourself healed and redeemed? Work on your own emotional health—-you’ll be much happier than trying to change someone else. Work on you. You have a right to be happy and in what you deem is a healthy relationship

BE ADVISED THE FOLLOWING IS NOT ETHICAL.
It's not unethical, either, it's just braindead stupid.
The Startup Mentality which popularized social media is pretty simple and you should learn it if you want to
MAKE MARSEY A SUPERSTAR
More impressions is more impressions. More. More is more. How is more? Do more.
This means: retweets on rdrama's twitter. Sharing posts from /h/museumofdrama that make the place look cool to fediverse instances.
MORE.
Suck them in. They look. They see a cat. They see an anorexic girl. Is it a sexualization of anorexia? Does it make this place look truly countercultural for those who read deeply enough into the irony? (I think so, but jesus @carpathianflorist you went there and as much as I don't respect you, I respect you.)
MAP THE TABOOS.
QUEER THE BOUNDARIES.
More impressions means more. More is more. More.
Fly, my pretties, into the fediverse, and BRING IT TO BEHOLD, AS IN DARSAN, THE CAT GOD MARSEY.

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA COVID-19 restrictions have temporarily impacted the primary iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max assembly facility located in Zhengzhou, China. The facility is currently operating at significantly reduced capacity. As we have done throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we are prioritizing the health and safety of the workers in our supply chain.
We continue to see strong demand for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models. However, we now expect lower iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max shipments than we previously anticipated and customers will experience longer wait times to receive their new products.
We are working closely with our supplier to return to normal production levels while ensuring the health and safety of every worker.

Protect your citizens? Not in the way of my consooooooming. We explotied China for cheap labor and now they're unattractive so we must go to an even cheaper place so my $1000 phone can be shipped over in a massive container ship using a shit tone of diesel fuel or flown overnight because I need it now

tech/science swag. 
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?
