In the other place - X - Ross Barkan is assailing Jesse Singal for his tenacious and courageous exposure of the fast-tracking of sex reassignment for children, mainly gay and lesbian, without any solid medical basis.
He is trying to argue that good journalism should not happen if some bigots might want to deploy it for nefarious ends.
I just want to say that in my view, Jesse’s reporting has been scrupulous and prophetic and courageous. If Pulitzers were still given on the basis of merit instead of ideology, he’d have racked up several.

Substack is in danger of collapsing under its own weight. There are just too many worthy accounts here now to expect readers to cough up $5 for every writer they want to read. There needs to be some kind of subscription/revenue sharing mechanism so subscribers aren’t constantly asked for money for every damned article they’d like to read. Sell tokens. Punchcards.

It's been obvious all along but it takes one, lone gunman who has now become a hero of sorts to many because he brought the problem …

Not going to happen Daniel, Biden is going to sink quietly into the background and hope that Der Fuhrer, forgets about him, Kamala as well.
