Fox dropped the crime coverage as soon as the election was over, because that was just nonsense to boost Republicans. They're still doing the LGBTQ stuff—even though voters didn't care about it in the midterms, even after the massacre—because they want gay and trans people dead.
"Dan White Society" was young Tucker Carlson's joke about how it's funny to murder gay people. This is what he's about.
Anyone who goes on Carlson's show is cool with killing gay people. Anyone who gets on the phone with their pal Tucker to get that hot media-and-politics gossip, insider to insider, is cool with killing gay people.
Please don't speculate about Carlson possibly being a self-hating homosexual; all available evidence suggests he's a standard straight guy who sees abusing gay people as a way to raise his own status and cover his own straight-person insecurities.
Fame-chaser Gl*nn Gr**nwald wants to have a tantrum about the people he hates jumping to conclusions but you know where it was taken for granted that the Club Q killing should be connected to Fox's anti-LGBT agenda? Tucker Carlson's own program.
Add one more item to the list of things Gr**nwald will never challenge his host/buddy about yahoo.com/entertainment/…

The Mastodon thing has helped me finally name the painful divide in this world between the (kind! good-hearted!) people who are like, "It's super simple, you can just configure it however you want" and those of us for whom that's more or less the opposite of what simple means.

You are bleeding from a torn artery and yet you’re asking the emergency room doctors to put more blood into the same circulatory system that’s spilling the blood you have, obviously you don’t care about the blood issue at all

By “not especially strong” you mean “false about the factual particulars that were his entire framework for saying who the troops would or wouldn’t target” Image
Looking forward to the Chait piece defending Republicans sending armed vigilantes to ballot drop boxes, since all they’re doing by their own account is making sure none of Dinesh D’Souza’s ballot mules get through
Dang, stinks when someone lets their ideological priors or grudges lead them to misrepresent the plain text of Cotton’s op-ed huh @jonathanchait
