do i have anything to worry about on this front or are you just venting in a general way? i have to admit it concerns me a little

Because so many of the horrible people trying to destroy the career of a black Guardian journalist are based on this site, just want to cross-post this. You are all being insane. You should stop.

this is really compelling stuff you should be a content creator

This sounds like something that would happen. I attacked black women and then I went to a listserv and was like "Check it out -- I attacked black women." It makes too much sense to not be true. The one thing she's leaving out is that after that, we high-fived and ate ice cream.

1/ Getting mad at Bluesky for being crazy is like getting mad at a toddler for not knowing which sppon to use at a fancy dinner party, but to be clear: This is really crazy. Cofnas is obviously being investigated in relation to the Arday thing, and that is obviously bad, because it's obviously good

Just as a matter of how the editing process works there, they weren't gonna let me litigate a potentially in-the-weeds fraud claim anyway -- they edit very tightly, wordcountwise, and the whole piece got lawyered, I was told. I think I presented it fine, the jarring quote is to prevent soft-pedaling

I don't think Matt Yglesias is a Nazi collaborator

I have used the forbidden term (WAFFLES) so it is now a "Nazi dog whistle" Do BlueSky powerusers understand what a laughingstock this place is?

I know a subset of individuals have genuine difficulty distinguishing reality from whatever they see on here, but the idea that I would 'out' anyone is idiotic and insulting. The teenager in question signed a release form agreeing to have their image used in a story involving youth gender identity.

I genuinely don't think I've ever done a post on here that a reasonable person would consider to be 'bigotry.' Literally not one. If someone points one out to me I'm happy to consider apologizing and taking it down but I'd be surprised!

There are these WAFFLES places in Berlin that, in a nice touch, will write your name in chocolate sauce. This was a good effort! Lebanese (I think) staff working in Germany trying to understand an American guy's name. I love this world. (Strawberries, nutella, whipped cream, iykyk) WAFFLES

This is literally in the article. I explicitly said the thing I'm accused of attempting to cover up. I still don't understand why people feel the need to angrily respond to articles they haven't read.

I would have gotten away with it if not for Bluesky sleuths

Gretchen Felker-Martin has been threatening to kill her enemies, myself included, for years, as well as posting extremely creepy sexual fantasies about us. Any of her friends could have simply explained to her that this is a bad idea that will lead to bad outcomes. They chose not to.

Pundit on Bluesky: [opinion that ~65% of US agrees w/and only 5% are violently angry about] Bluesky: Go fucking kill yourself! We'll kill you! You fucking pedophile! DIE DIE DIE!!! Pundit on Bluesky: Yikes! [leaves] Bluesky: He could not compete in the marketplace of ideas

my fault i will devote more time to monitoring every post on the subreddit. emailing my book editor to tell her there will be a delay so i can get to work on this important task

Jesse Singal @jessesingal.com · 20/08/2025

Could def be biased by my experiences on here but I just think the numbers are not good. You'd expect *some* postelection drop but not like this. ~500k daily posters makes this a backwater, albeit one with a idsproportionate number of influential X refugees. And X sucks in its own unique ways, tbc.

2/ The idea that I should be beaten with a hammer for running an excerpt about long covid diagnosis... I just disagree with it, overall

Jesse Singal @jessesingal.com · 03/07/2025

2/ SEVENTY-SEVEN PERCENT of Americans are at least moderately proud to be an American -- and that's after a historic slide that is probably temporary! I'm not sure where else we could get numbers like that except on "Is it bad to kick puppies?" or "Does sex feel good?"

I was uncomfortable having a positive profile of me out in the world so I wrote a fake one to counteract it jessesingal.substack.com/p/heres-a-fa...

1/ Got an email from a listener asking about a GFM for a trans woman attacked with acid in West Philly. There was no news coverage and some in the Philly subreddit were skeptical. Checked with the cops and it is, unfortunately, real, though motive unclear:

Guys you are allowed to use someone's voice captured in public. This... isn't complicated. There is also no such thing as "refusing to participate in a story," in this sense, if you have made publicly available statements. Evan just finished up a prestigious journalism fellowship! This is basic.

I don't think Alejandra Caraballo has control over millions of trans people in the U.S. (obviously), and I don't believe she's a piece of shit. I continue to think conversation would be better than the approach she and some other activists have taken.

Jesse Singal @jessesingal.com · 03/06/2025

Journalists/Academics on here: What are some other things there should be no public debates about whatsoever?

Jesse Singal @jessesingal.com · 18/05/2025

Hey man never heard back from you about this. Do you not think PCRF is a worthy charity?

Jesse Singal @jessesingal.com · 02/05/2025

2/ This is just really sick stuff and it is unfortunate GFM still has not gotten help.

8341

Jesse Singal @jessesingal.com · 02/05/2025

1/ Just to clear this up: I never threatened to sue Gretchen Felker-Martin. Rather, I posted, on Substack, that I wanted GFM to stop constantly tweeting disturbingly violent and sexually explicit fantasies about me, and I stand by it.

Jesse Singal @jessesingal.com · 01/04/2025

I think this is a good article and people should check it out. It's unfortunate that people are so anti-intellectual on here that they see a phrase they don't like in a headline and write off an article without (I'm almost positive) reading it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

You have absolutely insane people following you threatening to assault me and telling me to kill myself

do you think it's a coincidence that you stir this up and immediately people threaten to harm me, julia?

I asked an immigration attorney I trust and have had some dealings with whether the Mahmoud Khalil case represents scary territory. He said yes, it does.

Nathan Oseroff-Spicer should make a full list of the philosophers whose views on sex and gender he disagrees with, and then specifically explain what sort of violence each one deserves as retribution

Last night Elon Musk posted an out-of-context screenshot of a Social Security spreadsheet and began speculating wildly about some sort of massive fraud. As soon as I pointed out that the truth was likely less exciting, I got an email from a former SSA worker (I confirmed) who said... basically that.

My pizzas are generally pretty ugly but I think this one from last night was aesthetically solid. Taste-wise, last night was one of my best runs ever

On Twitter, Elon Musk suspended the account of someone who listed the names of the members of the DOGE team rooting around in government records, which were reported by WIRED and others. "You have committed a crime," he sternly informed them.
