—What is a "conspiracy theory" really? Today, it seems to be anything that makes someone else fear nervous or fearful that the world may not be as safe a place as they'd like to believe. Calling something a "conspiracy theory" in the 21st century is just a form of "shut up."
—Dagny "Nex" Benedict was a troubled 16-year-old who killed herself recently. The media and LGBTQ activists have blamed her death on everything from a bathroom brawl to "bigoted" state policies that "harm" trans and "non-binary" people. But now we know something about the terrible history of family trauma and abuse Dagny suffered from.
—In our news round-up we look at Planet Fitness kicking out female members who don't want men in their locker rooms, a Detroit teacher who got fired for a rap video that includes "hoes" and "niggaz", and histrionic Vanderbilt University students concerned about tampon toxic shock.
—Potpouri du Moquerie is back! Featuring: lizard troons, trans killer whales, mentally ill breasts, and two-headed Siamese twins.
