“I can’t believe Hank Green is full of shit! Who could have ever known??” Dude he put out a video years ago telling trans people it was ok to just take blockers and have no hormones (and that trans people definitely for real were involved in the script trust us)

Deeply disappointed at the comments on my Ken Jennings video. People would rather have empathy for a cis person than the trans person mocked. Yeah it’s the trans persons fault for lightly pointing out to a cis person the New York Times is bad actually to trans person. She’s making it about herself.

Okay I think it's safe for everyone to just block Ken Jennings. The article is already out there, moderation is actively ignoring everyone commenting on the situation, and all that's going to happen now is more hunting down of old posts and mass-reporting.

I'm willing to call Ken Jennings a bigot. I'm willing to look past his few "good" statements to the actions he takes and say that's a person who absolutely doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself and his image. Fucking mormons

the ken jennings thing is a reminder that a lot of people don't actually realize that someone still being a member of the mormon church means about someone. everyone is willing to judge people going to evangelical and big american protestant churches but being a mormon is just as big a red flag.

The Ken Jennings thing was distilled proof of “I’m your biggest ally until you make me feel bad for the thing I like doing and then I stop listening.” This is so common. People will stand up for a marginalized community UP UNTIL it puts them in an uncomfortable position

If every Trans person on this website got mad at me at the same time I would think, “Oof. Maybe I did something?” Ken Jennings has a different philosophy on this issue.

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

I'm fucking done with this stooge. I'm sick of seeing his stupid face. I'm sick of him ruining the memory of things I once enjoyed through his being attached to them. I'm sick of him continuing to be included in things I might enjoy, so that I won't. Why? I'll tell you.
