You don’t need to follow me just because we were mutuals on Twitter. I won’t be offended. Seems like this account is mostly me getting in dumb arguments which I wouldn’t want to read either. CalmDownBen.com

What part of his body of work are you referring to? Like, obviously he has written critically about young gender treatments and stuff, but is that what you mean?

I even have a few French friends, but I hate them at least a little for being French

Well I don’t think Jesse is an anti-trans activist but even if he was I wouldn’t agree with the implication that platforming people is some moral act. I have friends who are communists and conservatives, anti-colonialists and zionists, etc and I talk to all of them without endorsing their beliefs

None of us hate trans people.

Well i mean I hate the French so I technically hate some number of trans people from France but it’s not because they’re trans.

“They responded! They’re mad! Hehe” is just horse shoe loser shit. Congrats. I responded to it. Ooohhh sick burn. The Nazis on X get off the same way

I’m not upset I’m just belatedly telling you how the world works. I’ll go back to not checking in on this site for a few more months in a minute.

Apparently people on BlueSky got mad at us about this joke about how the files included random nonsense like tweets and articles. That you don’t have a sense of humor isn’t my problem.

Are you under the impression that I have some connection to the show Happy Days?

Crazy that people on this platform are so happy today considering what’s going on in Sudan. Must be nice not to give a shit about genocide.

I only remember to even open BlueSky once a month but whenever I do I am reminded that I’m quite fond of many of you wish you still did the tweets. A lot of other people on the site I think are not so good, but a lot of you I do miss.

This is a great idea for a podcast but it actually isn’t what ours is about.

Hello BlueSky! Here is something new many of you will hate. I’m doing a new podcast with Josh Barro and Megan McCardle about how centrism is good. www.centralairpodcast.com/p/welcome-to...

I’m disabled and I think I should have subsidized DoorDash but only me. The other circus freaks don’t deserve it.

The new Superman film is pro-immigrant, but it definitely isn’t woke. It’s a defense of assimilation. open.substack.com/pub/bendreyf...

My favorite moment of WelcomeFest was after Josh Barro finished his onstage conversation and sat down next to me and I was giggling and whispered “they’re really mad at you on BlueSky lol” and tried to show him my phone and he was like “I don’t care” and didn’t look

I fell asleep in a NYC cab once and woke up in a lot in east New York and there was this 6’ guy standing over me and he said he was an important journalist who was a top podcaster and they covered trans issues. And then he put a Heineken bottle up my ass. I woke up 3 days later in Rhode Island.

I love Starbucks for the very simple reason that I hate small business owners

BlueSky has been getting owned for not having a sense of humor and the screenshots are quite funny
