I worked the Met Gala as a waiter a few times. It’s your basic gala dinner. A lot of hobnobbing and table hopping. The placement of people’s tables is *very* political. The last year I worked the party Mary-Kate and Ashley were seated in Siberia and the were NOT HAPPY.

Charlie Kirk was scheduled to debate a progressive influencer, Hasan Piker, at Dartmouth College on Sept. 25. On his Twitch live stream, Piker reacted to the news with horror, urging some of his followers to stop making jokes about the shooting, and he expressed fear that he

This is my cousin, then 16, mourning her best friend, Cassie, who was murdered 25 years ago today, along with 14 others at Columbine High School. The anguish in her voice before they found Cassie's body haunts me. My cousin would live a hard life. We lost her, too, in 2020.

A lot of people are portraying USAID as some sort of bastion of looney DEI excesses. Let’s take a look at what the sudden arresting of their operation is doing to global health. Please read the thread (my thread, not Ryan James’):

About 99% of Americans had no idea what USAID was 30 seconds ago and if they had known they'd demand it be closed years ago. Every type of wasteful federal project imaginable came out of that useless institution. This is not the hill to die on that Democrats think it is

Elon Musk has started restricting accounts who use that word that means someone isn't trans, calling it a slur.

I have people over to dinner about 15 to 20 times per year. I am invited over to dinner zero to one time per year. People often behave as if a social invitation is an onerous burden. They are in a long-term relationship with themselves.

This is misinformation about #monkeypox. The outbreak is occurring almost entirely among men who have sex with me. Public health experts agree that sexual contact is the principle driver of transmission and have asserted that risk to kids remains *very low*.

One day, activist-blogger Erin Reed said 80 incorrect things about pediatric gender medicine, so I fact checked her 80 times. She cannot defend herself on the merits of her words, so she just goes for an ad hominem attack to try to scare me off.

John Oliver, in arguing how the Dems should respond to the trans kids issue, falsely claims “there is no evidence” trans kids “pose any threat” to fairness in sports. There absolutely is evidence that trans females have a competitive advantage.

Malcom Gladwell says he is “ashamed” of having said in a previous panel discussion that trans women have a place in women’s sports. He says he was “cowed” into saying so. “Trans athletes have no place in the female category,” he says.
