The VERY near future... 🫣

It's well known at this point that some self-proclaimed podcasters have been "just asking questions" about a grieving widow to the point that she had to cancel a TPUSA appearance yesterday. Let me translate "just asking questions" for you: it means "I'm going to throw increasingly unhinged accusations at someone while maintaining plausible deniability by framing everything as curiosity." The grift here is wicked in its simplicity: Target someone who's been through unimaginable trauma. Assume they're too broken to fight back effectively. Build your brand by "investigating" them with the dedication of Columbo solving a murder, except Columbo actually had evidence and wasn't just farming engagement for clicks and profits. These people looked at a woman who lost her husband and thought, "You know what this situation needs? Me inserting myself into it for conspiratorial content! yeah!" The really sick part is how they frame it as noble truth-seeking. Like they're doing humanity a service by relentlessly hounding someone who's trying to grieve in public. As if their podcast has suddenly become the Nuremberg trials and they're the chief prosecutor bringing justice to... a widow talking about her dead husband. And it has resonated with an audience that fits their morals (or lack thereof) to a T. It's the same energy as ambulance chasing, except instead of car accidents it's human tragedy, and instead of legal settlements it's subscriber counts. The stupidest irony? These are the same people who'd lose their minds if someone spent weeks "just asking questions" about their own personal trauma. But somehow when it's profitable content, suddenly they're 'investigative journalists". I have said this before, and I'll say it again: Enjoy the karma. Because the same way you're driving your hordes of mindless mouth breathers to harass Erika Kirk, the same way your sin debt is piling up. But you chose that path yourself...

And I remember when it came out... 😳 #oldlady

can Twitter please figure out why I'm seeing the same 25 tweets all day!!!

Why Writers Need Community: 3 Simple Ways to Stay Connected and Grow from @LarryJLeechII on @EdieMelson bit.ly/4efpcz9 #writing #writingcommunity

What I love about older books is the diversity of female characters: cheery Anne Shirley; witty Elizabeth Bennet; sensible Jane Eyre; courageous Éowyn; faithful Lucy Pevensie, or headstrong Jo March. All admirable characters that I think are great models for young girls.

No surprise here... 🤣
