@TPM

The Iraq War was actually a major part of how I ended up @TPM.

Back in early 2004, I was a sophomore at @wheaton.

The legendary Texan columnist Molly Ivins came to speak at the school. Her talk was heavily focused on her critical reporting on Bush and the war.

Journalism was not a big thing at our school. I already knew I wanted to be a reporter and was incredibly excited that one was coming to visit the school — especially such a uniquely clear voice on the Bush administration at a time when that was rare.

I planned to go up to her after the event to try and ask a smart question. For me, it felt like a rare shot to get some insight into journalism and politics.

What I honestly can't understand about the anti-trans movement is why anyone would be fundamentally concerned about how someone else chooses to view or express their gender?

They can make it all sound reasonable and like they're standing up for women until you step back and realize they are simply mad about another person's choices.

I am a cisgender male! I am with a cisgender woman! That is my preference and orientation! The way other people choose to live and be has literally no effect on it!

I literally just quoted you at length. It doesn't need any complex interpretation. Your hateful fear was crystal clear.

One thing modern racist pseudointellectuals like to do when challenged on their awful, hareful arguments is completely backpedal by pretending there is oh so much complexity, uniqueness, and nuance behind their variation of saying people of color are dangerous and bad.

@ScottAdamsSays

Another thing they like to do – which is the true mark of a pseudointellectual - is to latch on to a shred of data as supposed justification for their hateful worldview without regard to the quality, quantity, or context of the information. That's exactly what @ScottAdamsSays did

@WashPostPR

The Plain Dealer and USA Today have done this. It seems @WashPostPR @BostonGlobe and @chicagotribune have not.

The Plain Dealer's editor said, "This is not a difficult decision."

It really shouldn't be. cleveland.com/news/2023/02/w…

@AndrewsMcMeel

Dilbert is syndicated by @AndrewsMcMeel. I guess they are happy doing business with someone who claims all Black people are a hate group and thinks whites should "get the hell away from Black people."

I somehow fell down the rabbit hole of this site with absolutely weird charity offerings. This one is particularly nuts. charitybuzz.com/catalog_items/…
