This would be very in-line with Jordan Peterson's compelled re-education being outside the scope of the charter of human rights because the Ontario College of Psychologists can hold it's members to whatever standards it pleases.

If you want to connect some tin-foilery to the drone situation, NYC sources are muttering about a false/green flag. The drones could be priming people for a radiological scare, like a dirty bombing.
It does. And I agree-- something's not adding up with the piece.
And that's where the questions start: How far do we trust the anonymous source? Is the writer's position tenable given the public evidence?
I am taking this news with about three Carthage's worth of salt; I also think that a piece like this is the only way we'd hear about a Daily Wire/Timcast silent partnership.
A little digging seems to be saying the it's the "Culture War" spin-off show being sold-- the very one Tenet Media sponsored. So yes, it's the Tenet media show, and yes, it's not his mainline show. Unless there's something tying the "Culture War" show to the IRL channel, I could see him holding onto that, too.
What this article also alleges (from a source that stayed anonymous due to fear of legal reprisals) is that Ben's Daily Wire is a 'silent partner' of Timcast. That's an interesting allegation.
Here's what I found in terms of recent/current/future Trans supreme court cases:
A Tennessee trans case: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/justice-alito-supreme-court-transgender-case-b2658961.html
Tennessee's law against "gender-affirming care" seems to be holding.
I also saw there were oral arguments about a case, Eau Claire vs. Wisconsin, which failed to get 4 justices to sign on. (Alito wrote the dissent, three justices were interested in hearing the case, which was about a school district policy to not notify parents of gender-confused students about said confusion.)
From Idaho, Little v. Hecox; From W. Virginia, W. Virginia v. P.B.J. Both these cases are about Trans athletes in women's sports.
I don't have a link for specifics argument. I would bet Adamrises is talking about arguments in the Tennessee case, which is explicitly about the healthcare 'benefits' of transing kids.
Forbes seems to drop clips on youtube of government proceedings sometimes. I'm gonna check there, but yeah. I'd appreciate some support digging on this one.
EDIT: I think this is the exchange. u/Adamrises can you confirm?
There was a point in a youtube comment Spoon acknowledged by liking which he pinned and then later unpinned and I cannot find any more. Here's what I remember the commenter pointing out, roughly:
People buying the Last Descendent because TnA/fanservice are buying into microtransaction laden UE5 slop. This game, flashpoint for this moralistic tizzy-fit, is (objectively speaking) an uninspired derivative shooter-- one that will sell due to fanservice and likely be discarded/fail to hold a player-base due to lack of depth, excessive grind, paywalls, and otherwise terminal GaaS cancer.
What people buying the game AND those decrying it are missing is that underneath the 4k fanservice, there's not a good game. As gamers, the focus should be on the quality of the game mechanics. Using fanservice as a screen for DEI might be useful, but you can't revert to just buying everything with pretty women in it because it's not DEI-- there's plenty of slop that uses sex to sell to gamers thinking with the wrong head.
I think Spoon pointing out that fanservice at the top of the degeneracy slippery slope (fanservice is the point of the wedge, if you will, being driven into the culture; porn is in there too. same vice, different point in the spectrum.) is exceptionally aggravating polemic. He's being inflammatory on purpose because he's an arrogant utensil. I really want to dismiss him, but find I can't.
Vox Day talks a lot about a love of "the Good, the Beautiful, and the True." One of the real dangers of lust, as a vice, is pitting a(n excessive) desire for the Beautiful against the Good.
And yeah, this is the point Spoon's making-- even as he tells gamers to stop watching. Our bias will be towards good gameplay, not the moral consequences of pervasive lust. There's a broader conversation to be had about sexualization in our society. As gamers, we rankle at it because games are one of the vectors being used for both LGBT and Lust-based attacks on childhood. Spoon is aggravating because he's not being 'fair' to the medium, but his argument 'from the outside' is one gamers have to contend with. Yeah, Spoon's being arrogant and infuriating, the points he's making are from the outside and aren't really 'fair' to gaming, but (taken as polemic) how is he wrong?
More to the point, now that the Right is getting back a modicum of power, where is the line we have to hold, collectively, against the slippery slope the power of Slannesh presents?
Her refinement of her argument, (i.e. 'that you'll find none of this in classic games) gets destroyed by the playboy spreads. The only reason that these kind of graphics weren't used earlier is the technical limitations of the time.
ffs. She should look up 'Custer's Revenge' and tell me classic gaming didn't have a seedy underbelly. I want to belly laugh at her.
He took the ticket a while back. The world is his master now, not Christ.
Just send him this:
Paragraph two:
All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.
The opposite of being a fan isn't hate or anger. It's cold disdain-- a closed wallet, a lost sale, and a tongue that adds to negative word of mouth.
All publicity isn't good publicity. You can't berate people into buying your game.
