With the help of a Yuval Levin and a Silly Putty support system, Jonah Goldberg opens this Ruminant with a recommendation not to panic about the Trump administration quite yet. He does, however, bemoan the president's fantasy about a U.S. sovereign wealth fund before wondering about what the next generation of Democratic leaders might look like.

Katie HerzogTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Katie Herzog. Katie is a well-known and respected journalist who has written for publications including: The Stranger, The Atlantic, Reason, Medium, and more. She is also a co-host of the very popular podcast Blocked and Reported; with her friend and fellow journalist Jesse Singal. In this episode, Katie and I chat about where and how she grew up, and what informed her journalistic endeavors. I do grill Katie about some of the crazy stories from her past that I found. We touch briefly on her time working for NPR, and she enlightens me about The Internet Archive, and The Way Back Machine. Then we get into her podcast. Again, it's called Blocked and Reported and she tells me about why she started it, and why she is glad she didn't start it sooner. Finally, we dive into her new book. It doesn't have a name quite yet but should be released around October of 2025. This book chronicles her journey of drinking herself sober. You read that right. That's a very fascinating concept, and she tells me all about how she came to find this path, and why she felt the need to share her experience in the form of her very first book. Make sure you check out her podcast, it is a lot of fun, and be sure to stay tuned for her book around October of 2025.

  On this episode Razib talks to Jesse Singal, a journalist who has covered the social science beat for the last decade. Singal has an undergraduate degree in philosophy from University of Michigan and a master's in public affairs from Princeton. Currently a freelance journalist who writes his own Substack, Singal-Minded, and contributes to Blocked and Reported with Katie Herzog, Singal is formerly an editor at New York Magazine. His first book The Quick Fix: Why Fad Psychology Can't Cure Our Social Ills, covered the replication crisis. Razib and Singal first talk about what he learned, and unlearned, during his time as a reporter at New York Magazine, especially social psychology results that were long on glamor but short on robustness. They discuss how long we've known that social psychology had a problem, and whether it still hasn't reformed itself. Singal also reflects on his role in publicizing sexy findings, and how journalism has taken steps to be more careful lately. They also address some of the specific findings that came out of early 2010's social science, from implicit bias to power posing. Next, Razib asks Singal about youth gender medicine, and the major controversies over the last few years. Singal discusses the differences between female to male transitions as opposed to male to female, and relates the whole domain back to the replication crisis and the lack of good research. They also discuss political and social aspects, and where Singal sees youth gender medicine going in the next few years.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comYou may not recognize Andy Mills' name, but you likely know his work: He co-created The Daily podcast for The New York Times, where he also produced Rabbit Hole, a fantastic series on the internet, and – quite fatefully! – the war on terror podcast, Caliphate. Shit happened. It was complicated. Andy is no longer at The New York Times. But he's struck out on his own. Last year he gave us The Witch Trials of JK Rowling, one of 2023's best podcasts, and now he's back with a new podcast, Reflector, which tells “stories about the strange experiences of being human — sparking wonder, unveiling complexity, and igniting curiosity.” The first episode tackles a familiar topic, over-drinking, and centers on an unexpected subject: Katie Herzog, the very funny host of Blocked & Reported, who shares her experience with the anti-drinking drug Naltrexone. Nancy and Sarah chat with Andy about addiction, storytelling, faith, and how to push back on the media's excesses.Also discussed:* The burden of knowing who is going to hell* The Bible, it has slow parts* The love of God is a very hard thing to lose* Drinking as a spiritual experience* How the social justice movement is deeply Protestant* The Caliphate scandal* About Andy's exit from the New York Times …* Sarah, the black belt of dumping beer on people's heads* Jealousy's role in the media meltdown* More on Donald McNeil Jr. ouster, and Nancy could not be happier/angrier* Did Infinite Jest predict social media?* Naltrexone: Miracle drug, or “quick fix” that doesn't address what's wrong?* “You're a smoker? Lucky you.”* A civil war on the movie Civil War* “I wanna listen to a podcast that's just Nancy saying, ‘William Langewiesche.'”* The Harry Potter of adult romance novelsPlus, video texts equal love, why no stories are actually neutral, why alcohol is an “analog drug,” and much more!

Megyn Kelly is joined by Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal, hosts of the "Blocked and Reported" podcast, to discuss what universities should do with violent, loony protesters on campus, the nuance of free speech vs. harassment, whether our culture is past the worst of the instinct to cancel, how employers and universities should deal with the issue of employees and students taking controversial public stances, a New Hampshire "trans athletes" bill, the issue of biological males in women's spaces, and more.Singal & Herzog- https://www.blockedandreported.org/ Follow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.louiseperry.co.ukMy guest today is Katie Herzog, journalist and host of the Blocked and Reported podcast. We spoke about why so many women have stopped identifying as lesbians and started identifying as non-binary and bisexual, about 'passing privilege' and social attitudes towards tomboys, and I also expounded on my theory of 'nonce radar.' In the extended part of the episode, we spoke about the impact that AIDS had on gay activism, the 'gays against groomers' phenomenon, and why drag queen story hour is now such a big deal in the UK.

Today, we're thrilled to bring you not Honestly with Bari Weiss, but maybe something even better: Blocked and Reported with Suzy Weiss! If you haven't heard of Blocked and Reported, it's one of my very favorite shows hosted by two of my favorite journalists, Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal. The tagline for the show is “a podcast about internet nonsense,” but that undersells it. Katie and Jesse do a lot of good journalism on this show—it's just swathed in humor and irreverence.  This week, Free Press reporter (and yes, my little sister) Suzy Weiss filled in for Jesse. You'll remember Suzy from the Oberlin episode she reported for Honestly a while back or, more recently, from the 2024 Predictions episode she was on a few weeks ago, where she told us 2024 is going to be the year of “porridge food” and cheating. I'm biased, but anyone familiar with Suzy's work knows that it's funny, gonzo, and feels like something you used to read in an excellent magazine but don't anymore. You'll learn a lot more about her on today's episode, including that she was the subject of controversy when she was a teenager and the freedom that experience gave her down the road. The title of this episode of Blocked and Reported is The Red House on Mississippi—in this case, the Mississippi isn't the river, but a road in Portland. The house has been part of a movement to prevent a black family from eviction. Katie and Suzy also talk about dating while problematic and the spread of polyamory, and Suzy argues in favor of good, old-fashioned cheating—the perfect Valentine's week topics.

Cultural critic Katherine Brodsky is an example of what Meghan likes to call “Heterodoxy 2.0.” She's committed to fighting censorship and groupthink but is also mindful of not becoming an ideologue herself.

She now lives in Vancouver and writes about a variety of topics, including the arts, technology, and the recently emerging debates about free speech and censorship. In her new book, No Apologies: How to Find and Free Your Voice in the Age of Outrage—Lessons for the Silenced Majority, Katherine recounts her own cancelation event but, more importantly, interviews a range of people—including Katie Herzog, Winston Marshall, Stephen Elliot, and Peter Boghossian, to name a few—who have fallen prey to the online mob. In this conversation, we talk about what can be learned from a cancelation, what has become of the “IDW,” and how to move free speech discourse in a more positive direction, less grievance-driven direction. ** GUEST BIO For over a decade, Katherine Brodsky has covered lifestyle and entertainment stories for works like Variety, WIRED, Newsweek, The Guardian, Esquire, The Independent, CNN Travel, Entertainment Weekly, Playboy Magazine, USA Today, Delta Sky, Mashable, and more.

Schools across the country are back in session — and this fall, the spotlight is on trans issues in the classroom. Saskatchewan and New Brunswick have come out with new policies for parental consent on student pronoun changes, and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association has launched a lawsuit, saying this violates the Charter and human rights. Add to that, today, some parents will be marching in a cross-Canada protest against what they call gender ideology. Our guest on the podcast today has been reporting on these issues for years, and she has thoughts on how we might inject some nuance into this polarized conversation.Katie Herzog is an American journalist and host of the Blocked and Reported podcast.You can find Tara Henley on Twitter at @TaraRHenley, and on Substack at tarahenley.substack.com

In this episode, Sasha and Stella eagerly welcome journalist Katie Herzog, who is also co-host with Jesse Singal on the popular podcast Blocked & Reported (aka BARPod). This dynamic discussion covers a wide range of topics, including Katie's experiences and observations over the past two decades as a lesbian in the queer / LGBTQ+ community, especially pertaining to trans identities. They also explore Katie's reflections from her influential 2017 article on detransitioners, The Detransitioners: They Were Transgender, Until They Weren't, and how her perspective on gender has evolved in the aftermath of its publication. The conversation even delves into repressed memories, different approaches to psychotherapy, nonbinary identities, and the particularly interesting, important and controversial topic - preferred pronouns. Katie, known well for both her wit and thoughtfulness, brought a unique perspective to these discussions, much like she lends to her own work and content.Links:Blocked and Reported (Katie's Podcast with Jesse Singal)https://www.blockedandreported.org/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=substack_profile The Detransitioners: They Were Transgender, Until They Weren'thttps://www.thestranger.com/features/2017/06/28/25252342/the-detransitioners-they-were-transgender-until-they-werent A Response to the Uproar Over My Piece, "The Detransitioners"https://www.thestranger.com/lgbtqitslfa/2017/07/03/25262759/a-response-to-the-uproar-over-my-piece-the-detransitioners Katie's Work with The Stranger (including articles linked above)https://www.thestranger.com/authors/24847206/katie-herzog A Segment from Katie's Appearance on Real Time With Bill Maherhttps://youtu.be/H5tZZvUUvXA?feature=shared Please visit www.widerlenspod.com to explore more content, access additional resources, or to join our listener community.Watch us on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@widerlenspodPre-Order When Kids Say They're Trans: A Guide for Thoughtful Parentshttps://whenkidssaytheyretrans.com/ Attend Our Live Event – When Kids Say They're Trans: Weekend of Workshops | September 21-24, 2023https://whenkidssaytheyretrans.com/weekend-of-workshopsIf you liked this episode, more episodes you might find interesting:Episode 1 - Trans: Identity vs Dysphoriahttps://gender-a-wider-lens.captivate.fm/episode/trans-identity-vs-dysphoria Episode 8 - TransGenerational Wisdom: A conversation with Buck Angel

This podcast discussion includes but is not limited to…* We talk about my dumb controversy vs. the Cavinders* The trans sports issue is popping up a lot.

Halt, vagrant! Hailest thou from the tribe of the latinx? Or ypipo? LGBTQIA2+ or cishet? Art thou based, or cringe? Don thine helmet and draw thy sword, for this week on Blocked And Reported, we defend our honor! First, Katie Herzog duketh it out with Jesse Singal to determine who shall inherit the kingdom of Blocked And Reported in the event one of them should die. Then, Jesse attacketh the honor of Ed Yong, highly decorated knight of journalism and recipient of a Pulitzer medal. Alas, Jesse striketh at his most subpar front-page article for The Atlantic, laying bare its inaccuracy for all to see. Then, the denizens of Twitter come after Jesse Singal for his coverage of the St. Louis Transgender Center. After Jamie Reed laid bare its most dishonorable treatment of trans children, it attempteth to repair its honor by investigating itself and finding itself innocent!

For our celebratory 100th episode, podcasting role-models Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal join the Dorx as special guest audio engineers. Except Corinna's been so busy testifying for “anti-trans" bills around the country, and Nina's been so sick with COVID, that we only made it to episode 98. Nonetheless, we cover gender wars, egregious reporting, backlashes, Drag Queen story hours, Trump Derangement Syndrome, the Minority Stress Model, men in women's sports, persecution complexes, Twitter, Substack, pizzas, Katie's goddess-like spouse, Nina's “butch energy,” safety pins, and pronouns, learning that in spite of a few irreconcilable differences, all agree that “they” is a terrible choice for individuals.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit houseofstrauss.substack.comHoS pod is quite happy to welcome Blocked and Reported co-host Katie Herzog. I'm a big BAR fan and believe it to be somewhat misunderstood, especially at this juncture. We get into how the podcast has evolved into a more journalistic and narrative driven product, plus touch on the ways an Old Public Radio golden age fell apart. This discussion touches on, but is not limited to: * Katie allegedly knows nothing about sports but somehow knows the relevant details of Meyers Leonard saying “kike” while gaming. * Shouldn't the dumb jock defense help Leonard here? * White American NBA player politics * How Prestige 2000s Radio fell apart and why those carrying its torch are the people public radio hates * When you realize that the truth won't set you free, what happens next?* Katie's lost friends over what she's written but I, oddly, don't seem to have?* The challenge of sports with a lot of homophobia among players trying to advance Pride Nights* The Bon Appetit vs. Reply All Latinx Standoff Ouroboros* The Great Katie vs. Jesse debate about his leaving Twitter

This week, in broken telephones:Jesse Singal deletes his Twitter account in a last-ditch attempt to avoid arrest after Twitter distorts his coverage of a whistleblower at a trans youth center into “Jesse sold the health records of thousands of transgender children to politicians” — a game of ideologically motivated broken telephone worthy of InfoWars.Now in prison, he recounts his tales of Mormon underwear shortages and podcaster prison gangs over the prison phone, before finally quashing his beef with Jesus. Katie Herzog fills Jesse in on what he's missed, including a hitpiece from Jude Doyle and triple agent Elisa/James Shupe. Finally, she tries to convince Jesse to hand over his Twitter password before it is lost forever once his execution date arrives.Help Jesse buy one last pizza from the prison canteen:https://shop.gutentogltd.com/collections/barpodThe tweet that landed Jesse in prisonhttps://twitter.com/BradfordPearson/status/1635808050903756802Whatever you do, DO NOT read Jesse's coverage of Jamie Reed, the whistleblower at a St. Louis transgender center, and the resulting dramahttps://jessesingal.substack.com/p/journalists-are-exhibiting-far-toohttps://jessesingal.substack.com/p/gender-clinic-whistleblower-jamiehttps://jessesingal.substack.com/p/they-will-never-ever-stop-lying-abouthttps://jessesingal.substack.com/p/that-might-have-been-the-strangestShupe: I Was America's First ‘Nonbinary' Person.

This is an open letter protesting the work conditions Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog have subjected employees to. Ever since GLAAD's open letter to the New York Times regarding their coverage of trans issues and defense of J.K. Rowling, in addition to Jesse's vulgar display of power at the San Francisco Blocked and Reported party, Jesse has become intoxicated with power and shifted from soyboy beta cuck to alpha male, right-wing shock jock. And now that Katie has moved to Sarasota, Florida, there is nobody else at Blocked And Reported HQ to rein him in. His constant flexing and proclamations of “do you even lift?” and “I'm alpha as f**k, bro” create a hostile, intimidating work environment.Furthermore, the company Slack stores the invoices for my wages as “Bill For Lexer” and Jesse frequently quips “I haven't seen a deal this good since 1862!” before paying it, something he never does to the white employees. The leaking of the podcast's financial statements have only made this worse. It's not fair that Jesse and Katie are podcast millionaires who get away with paying us barely six figures for the dozens of hours of hard work we put in.The only way to make this right is to give us a 200% raise and at least 60 weeks of PTO yearly. Unless our demands are met, we will stage a mass walkout on the 30th in protest.Signed by:**** Lexer*****Updates & ErrataThe post speculating on BAR's earningshttps://www.reddit.com/r/BlockedAndReported/comments/1141mcr/i_knew_they_were_bigdidnt_realize_they_were_this/Jesse's responsehttps://www.reddit.com/r/BlockedAndReported/comments/1141mcr/i_knew_they_were_bigdidnt_realize_they_were_this/j8vn4d3/The new president of the New College of Florida discusses his views on friendshiphttps://www.sarasotamagazine.com/news-and-profiles/2023/02/new-college-board-of-trustees-gives-new-president-lucrative-contractNYT DramaGLAAD's NYT Sign-On Letterhttps://www.glaad.org/new-york-times-sign-on-letter-from-lgtbq-allied-leaders-and-organizationsSlate: Dan Savage Revolutionized Sex.

For many parents, the last few years have been eye-opening, as they saw the education system in America crumble under the weight of the pandemic. School closures that went on far too long, ineffective zoom school for kids as young as kindergarten, and other stringent policies that we're still just beginning to understand the devastating effects of. But like many things during the pandemic, COVID didn't necessarily cause these structural breakdowns as much as it exposed just how broken the system was to begin with.  Nowhere is that more clear than in our episode today about why 65% of American fourth grade kids can barely read. And about how during the pandemic, parents, for the first time, came face to face with just how bad and ineffective the reading instruction in their kids' classrooms is and started asking questions about why. That is the subject of Emily Hanford's new podcast from American Public Media, Sold a Story, where she investigates the influential education authors who have promoted a flawed idea and a failed method for teaching reading to American kids. It's an expose of how educators across the country came to believe in something that isn't true and are now reckoning with the consequences – children harmed, money wasted, an education system upended.  Today, guest host Katie Herzog talks to Emily about her groundbreaking reporting and what we can do to make things right.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Jesse Singal provides an update to the update to his San Francisco party for Blocked and Reported Primos, as well as his struggle to plan it.Katie Herzog gets introduced to gaming through the new Harry Potter game, Hogwarts Legacy. The controversy over JK Rowling's views on gender issues have now spilled over from Twitter to the gaming press, Discord, and Twitch. Streamers are afraid to play it, servers are being raided, and writers are refusing to review it.Plus, not-so-famous actor Armond Hammer discusses tying up women, eating their ribs, and stealing their toes, which then gets turned into an NFT.And here's the link to the Blocked & Reported store, for those who asked:https://shop.gutentogltd.com/collections/barpodSF PartySan Francisco party updateUpdate to the updateHogwarts LegacyHogwarts Legacy on Steamhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/990080/Hogwarts_Legacy/Rowling's “middle-aged moment”https://inews.co.uk/news/uk/jk-rowling-liked-transphobic-tweet-in-middle-aged-moment-137860Rowling's essay on why she speaks out on sex and gender issueshttps://www.jkrowling.com/opinions/j-k-rowling-writes-about-her-reasons-for-speaking-out-on-sex-and-gender-issues/American polling on transgender issueshttps://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2022/06/28/americans-complex-views-on-gender-identity-and-transgender-issues/British polling on transgender issueshttps://yougov.co.uk/topics/society/articles-reports/2022/07/20/where-does-british-public-stand-transgender-rightsAja Romano on Rowling's “people who menstruate” tweethttps://www.vox.com/culture/21285396/jk-rowling-transphobic-backlash-harry-potterAxios: “Hogwarts Legacy game launch becomes referendum on J.K.

Join captain Katie Herzog (and her first mate, Moose) on the high seas as we pursue Sam Brinton, Biden's Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy And Lover of Unreasonably Long Titles. The notorious nonbinary air pirate has been declared an outlaw for plunderin' an airport of its luggage… again. But Katie takes a closer look and finds their crooked ways go back years, having fooled even us.Then, less-important co-captain Jesse Singal investigates what happened when German psychologist Klaus Fiedler took the helm at the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science — and how his quartermaster's criticism of its race obsession led its American crew to mutiny. Doing so, he crosses paths with the notorious Dark Pirate Jussim and his evil steed, a racist mule whose mere mention is said to bring a ship a thousand years of bad luck.Turns out Jesse's not the only Jewish heterodox psychology writer on the high seas of Twitter…ARRataThe piece referred to in #103 regarding Brinton's torture in gay conversion therapy came from LGBT Nation, not LGBT News.

Today, we delve into the shadowy and malicious role Yiannopoulos allegedly played in the legendary dinner between former president Trump, the rapper formerly known as Kanye, and the white nationalist zoomer influencer currently known as Nick Fuentes.Also discussed: the online outcry over a Balenciaga photoshoot that spilled over into the mainstream media, spurred on by YouTuber-cum-Twitter-influencer Shoe0nHead (June Lapine) and the bipartisan outcry that ensued… and why it's all quite silly.Et tu, Milo?Links:ErrataUPDATE: Balenciaga has since dropped the suithttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-02/kering-s-balenciaga-drops-lawsuit-over-ad-referencing-child-pornographyGeorge Takei's Mastodonhttps://universeodon.com/@georgetakeiThe BalenCIAga ConspiracyShoe's Tweet that kicked this offThe pictures in questionThe document in question: Scalia's opinion from United States vs. Williamshttps://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/553/285/#tab-opinion-1962658Note the dates on the chart and teddy bear (bottom-left)Note the Borremans book on the deskThe closest I can get you to Borremans' Fire From the Sun without hotlinking an image (obviously NSFW)https://www.google.com/search?q=fire+from+the+sun+michaelThis diploma either reads “John Phillip Fischer” or “L is real 2401”Fischer's sex crime convictionOli London's tweet, accusing Balenciaga's owner of profiting from CPThe sculpture in question, controversially being auctioned by the company that is owned by the company that also owns Balenciaga (NSFW)https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-5335329Fox's indictment of Balenciagahttps://www.foxnews.com/video/6316362543112Slate: “Oh, Dear: Fox News Kind of Has a Point About Those Balenciaga Ads”https://slate.com/human-interest/2022/11/balenciaga-scandal-child-teddy-bears-fox-news.htmlNBC: “TikTok users protest Balenciaga's holiday campaign by destroying bags and shoes”https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/viral/balenciaga-backlash-tiktok-users-destroying-products-rcna59672The Calvin Klein ad from the 90'sAllegedly, it angered even President Clinton!https://www.vogue.com/article/calvin-klein-jeans-90s-ads-kate-moss-mark-wahlberg-controversyI Miss The Old KanyeRecap: Kanye goes “Death Con 3” on the Jewshttps://www.timesofisrael.com/kanye-west-says-hell-go-to-death-con-3-on-jewish-people-after-instagram-ban/The ADL on Fuenteshttps://www.adl.org/resources/blog/nicholas-j-fuentes-five-things-knowAxios: “Trump talks with white nationalist Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago dinner”https://www.adl.org/resources/blog/nicholas-j-fuentes-five-things-knowWATCH: GOP leaders condemn Trump-Fuentes dinnerHe said, Ye said: Ben Shapiro, Kanye West clash over Trump dinner with Holocaust denierhttps://www.jns.org/he-said-ye-said-ben-shapiro-kanye-west-clash-over-trump-dinner-with-holocaust-denier/Fuentes announces he's taking a break from his stream to join Ye's campaignhttps://cozy.tv/nick/replays/2022-11-26The Guardian: “Milo Yiannopoulos claims he set up Fuentes dinner ‘to make Trump's life miserable'”https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/nov/30/milo-yiannopoulos-nick-fuentes-donald-trump-dinnerTheWrap: “Milo Yiannopoulos' Rise and Fall, From GamerGate to Pedophilia Comments”https://www.thewrap.com/milo-yiannopoulos-timeline-rise-fall-gamergate-pedophilia-breitbart/Milo once owned Dangerous.com!https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/milo-yiannopoulos-sold-website-dangerous/Jesse in NY Mag: “How Breitbart Is Milking the Milo Yiannopoulos Campus-Outrage Outrage Cycle”https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2016/04/how-breitbart-is-milking-the-milo-yiannopoulos-campus-outrage-outrage-cycle.htmlJesse on his newsletter: “No-Platforming Didn't Wreck Milo — *Milo* Wrecked Milo”Milo wants to murder JewsMilo, rocking the most heterosexual haircut I've ever seenKanye storms out of TimCast interviewRolling Stone's coverage of the eventhttps://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/kanye-west-nick-fuentes-milo-yiannopoulos-tim-pool-podcast-1234637817/Politico: “Virulently antisemitic comments by Kanye West spark new GOP criticism”https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/01/ye-antisemitism-republicans-hitler-00071695The mental health argumentUnHerd: “Don't Punish Kanye West”https://unherd.com/2022/10/dont-punish-kanye-west/RAËLISMhttps://jalopnik.com/kanye-banned-twitter-symbol-ufo-sex-cult-racing-driver-1849847363Kanye got substantially more votes per dollar than even Biden!https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/kanye-west-presidential-run-analysis-9477968/Misc.BAP is not happy with any of the figures involved (WARNING: Slurs.

Jesse Singal returns to his ancestral homeland, only to find it in ruins. (Before that, he was on a trip to Israel.) There is panic in the Twitter streets as Elon Musk takes over and “dismisses” over 90% of the staff, including legendary software engineers Daniel Johnson and Rahul Ligma. Impersonation runs rampant and famous figures are permabanned left and right as Musk's hasty changes to the verification program end in pandemonium.Certain the site is doomed, the Twelve Tribes of Twitter (including Katie Herzog) set out in search of their fabled home: a previously obscure Twitter clone known as Mastodon. But you know what they say: “out of the frying pan, into the fire…”Links:

Inflation is skyrocketing. The economy is down. Not everyone can afford to go see a show. As such, hosts Jesse Singal and Katie Herzog have decided to give back to the community that has taken away so much from us with this recording of a live BARPod show in NYC. First up is the story of how Andrew Tate, legendary exploiter of virgins and Dean of Hustlers University, got unpersoned on social media. Then comes the tantalizing true story of Antifa's war against an “incelcore” music festival in Atlanta, complete with PROBLEMATIC lyrics, attempted SWATtings, and songs about being watched by the FBI. Virgins just can't catch a break, can they?Who The #*@#&$ Is Andrew Tate And Does His Existence Prove There Is No God?*Who's the most famous man on the net?https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=%2Fm%2F012ds47h,%2Fm%2F0261x8t,%2Fm%2F0c6qh,%2Fm%2F043p2f2The Andrew Tate Supercut (either a dead link, or it requires you to log in to see it.

Today, Katie Herzog and Jesse Singal present the first ever BARPod two-parter in known human history. This duology will chronicle, in exhaustive detail, a calamitous struggle between Kiwi Farms, a gossip board and/or harassment amplifier and/or literal digital version of Hitler's mountain rereat and/or actual terrorist organization (depending on you ask), and Keffals, a Twitch streamer and trans activist. The story somehow also involves, in no particular order, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Cloudflare, the entire mainstream media, Northern Ireland, Destiny, The Ulster Volunteer Force, The Ulster KiwiFarms Force, “ChudLogic” (?), questionable grooming allegations, unquestionable helping-minors-get-hormones allegations, GoFundMe, mean chat logs, even meaner chat logs, doxxing, harassing, stalking, Ethan Ralph, stealthing, screaming, swatting, and Reply All's Alex Goldman. (Plus some more stuff in Part 2.)(CORRECTION VIA COMMENTER: “Small correction on the go fund me targets. The original goal was way lower (30k I think). Everytime the goal was reached, a new goal was set in 10k increments. This article shows the goal at 70k just after they passed 60k in donations.

The London, Ontario Police Chief's statement noted, “In this case, firearms were displayed until it was determined a threat no longer existed. I acknowledge that for the average citizen, having heavily armed police officers attend your residence would be traumatic. I understand this was a traumatic and shocking experience for Ms. Sorrenti.” And here's what Keffals told Vice: “They told me to put my hands up, and when I get to the door, there are three police officers,” Sorrenti said. “Two of them were standing up and one of them in the middle was crouched down behind a riot shield with an assault rifle perched on top of the shield.”)Notes:Keffals claims to be woken up to an assault rifle in her face, leading to the campaign against KiwiFarmsKeffals claims Julie TerryBerry, David “Near” Ginder, and Chloe Sagal committed suicide as a result of harassment from KiwiFarms (a bit more about this in Part 2)Keffals with all the food trolls ordered to her houseMTG on Newsmax, talking about her swatting.MP3 backuphttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1bwZrWUZKh8nHvOzdkO6gB0ANyGxeDR91/view Cloudflare's essay on why they don't pull support from unpopular websiteshttps://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflares-abuse-policies-and-approach/ Cloudflare pulls support from an unpopular websitehttps://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/09/03/cloudflare-drops-kiwifarms/ Cloudflare tries to justify pulling the plug on KFhttps://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/09/cloudflare-explains-why-kiwi-farms-was-its-most-dangerous-customer-ever/ Keffals announces Kiwi Farms was taken down from the Internet ArchiveWhat happens when you try to access any KiwiFarms page on the Internet Archivehttps://web.archive.org/web/20220000000000*/kiwifarms.net A threat made against Keffals by a KF userKiwi Farms administrator Joshua “Null” Moon explains the situationhttps://archive.ph/k6Cq7The timeline of the post, according to one Farmer“This person is not an active member of our community”.Another user threatens KeffalsKF users' response to this threat [TOR REQUIRED]http://uquusqsaaad66cvub4473csdu4uu7ahxou3zqc35fpw5d4ificedzyqd.onion/threads/dropkiwifarms.128421/page-162A written threat to KeffalsThe paper in questionSee for yourself how much KF hates Ethan Ralph [TOR REQUIRED]http://uquusqsaaad66cvub4473csdu4uu7ahxou3zqc35fpw5d4ificedzyqd.onion/search/15749956/?q=ethan+ralph&o=relevance Or how much Ralph hates KF and Nullhttps://archive.ph/N95cl Never have (podcast) heroesJesse tries to explain (1/2) Jesse tries to explain (2/2)(UPDATE: Jesse was subsequently blocked by Goldmund, then unblocked.

Thankfully, Katie Herzog intervenes to soothe us with some nice drawings of dinosaurs and – no, nevermind, turns out there’s drama here, too: paleoartist and behavioral geneticist Emily Willoughby has been exposed for sending black elementary schoolers to jail.
