Is it confusing to you? Kash Patel should be scamming old people on the phone or selling magnesium supplements that cure AIDS. Putting his retarded ass in charge of the FBI is beyond laughable, beyond clown world.What did Jesse mean by this?
You know they just want you to say "the Jews"? It's not worth engaging.
It's this one. I touched on this in Micah's own thread already. DC's tranny nepobaby editor wanted to give a job to his tranny friend, so he was handed the writing job for the new Jason Todd vehicle. Predictably, it sold poorly because Micah's never read a single Red Hood title and he can't write for shit. Management was probably downright giddy that he gave them an excuse to fire him, because it meant they could pull the plug on the series before it lost them any more money.
I agree, but I don't think that's what Jesse meant. That's why I thought the tweet was funny.
I wish he weren't such a naïve retard, tbh. He has, what, 285 articles on how zero evidence exists for "trans" identity? He exposed the Tordoff study for essentially inventing their "results." The study purported reducing suicidality in these kids; lying about that should be criminal. He also saw how they ignored his critiques and made no corrections, all due to publicity.
Yeah, his recent episode on Taylor Lorenz was certainly educational, but he was completely unwilling to weigh the fact that Lorenz has shown an unusual willingness to lie that goes far beyond failing journalistic standards. Chorus has a lot of good reasons that they wouldn’t want to publish a contract, what’s Taylor’s excuse? But Jesse just acts like both sides of this should have equal weight even though Taylor is making the extraordinary claims while Chorus says she’s engaging in the same pattern if mendaciousness and vindictiveness that she has displayed throughout her career.
I think Jesse/Katie got it exactly right when they said that Taylor doesn't want to be a journalist, she wants to be a social media influencer. All of these feuds and backstabbings are designed to drive engagement to her social media. It's the only thing she cares about; being the most popular girl at the Cool Kids' lunch table. If that means she winds up with an inconsistent message or she stabs her friends in the back, that's a feature, not a bug. Similar people probably do the same thing.
I swear it's similar to people who get their brain fried by pornhub or gambling. Something inside will not allow them to walk away from the "Open 24 Hours" vice machine that ends up consuming their life.
It's the same thing with the Jimmy Kimmel situation - they're looking for ways out of unprofitable partnerships and these morons are handing it to them on a silver platter. They're a business at the end of the day, if they earn them money they'll find a way to keep it going no matter how much of an ass they make of themselves.
If money was the primary issue then ABC certainly went about it in a foolish way here. Jimmy Kimmel isn't an at-will employee, he has a $50 million contract that probably does not allow ABC to cut him loose quite so easily. They're still on the hook for that most likely, and will be paying Kimmel and his staff to sit on their asses. And then there's whatever lawsuit Kimmel's team is working on, he's a well known ragecase and will do everything in his power to make things tiresome and difficult for ABC and will drag things out as much as possible.
I kind of respect Jesse's dedication to giving people the benefit of the doubt long past the point when anyone else would have stopped. I don't think it's naivete; it seems motivated at least in part by optics. It serves to make the people who demonize him look all the more unhinged. Additionally, Jesse understands that he needs to cultivate goodwill even with people he comes to disagree with, because he knows that those people may someday come to be useful sources. It's clear he wants to be the first guy people in the media ecosystem people content the moment they either peak or are cancelled.
I disagree with him on many things, but he is the best thing you can be in life in my personal opinion/gayass code, which is "good at your job".
They keep on comparing 1 in 5 transitioned children continuing to identify as trans to a cancer treatment that saved 4 out of 5 patients, but that’s wrong. It’s not a cancer treatment that cures 80% of patients, it’s a cancer treatment where 20% of patients never had cancer in the first place. That would be a fucking problem.
What if I told you THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS BEING A TRUE AND HONEST TRANNY?
I haven't had a look at Serano in years, clicked over.
