We Hunted The Mammoth
It’s an old comedic trope: Bumbling husband, sensible wife. From the Honeymooners to King of Queens, this trope is played out in countless sitcoms, old and (relatively) new. And no sitcom husband is quite so bumbling — and just plain dumb — as Homer Simpson, who couldn’t say or do a smart thing to save his life.
Incel math just doesn’t add up. If women only date the top twenty percent of men, as per incel dogma, how do you account for the fact that more than twenty percent of women have husbands or boyfriends? You can’t. Unless …. well, one regular poster on Incels.is has a theory.
So activists on the far right are distributing a list of 5000 “Antifa” Twitter accounts they hope to mass report and get banned, not for breaking any Twitter rules, but just because they want to silence everyone who disagrees with them.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it! Have an open thread.
Right-wing transphobes aren’t letting a little mass shooting get in the way of their continuing vilification of trans people as “groomers” and “mutilators” of children.

The alleged shooter, armed with an AR-15-style gun and wearing body armor, was reportedly tackled and subdued by bar patrons before he could kill more.
You may recall the story of Nick Alahverdian, the alleged con artist and serial rapist who faked his own death and fled to Scotland to escape charges in the US, only to be arrested by Interpol while in the hospital with Covid. I’ve written about him, and his one-time close ties with Men’s Rights hate site A Voice for Men, several times in the past.
It was apparently Twitter’s suspension of the Babylon Bee for transphobia that inspired billionaire manbaby Elon Musk to put in a bid for the social media company in the first place. Now Musk has completed his mission at Twitter, such as it was, announcing today that he has restored the account of the terminally unfunny “satire” site, as well as that of Canadian fusspot psychologist Jordan Peterson, who had also been suspended for a transphobic tweet.
So one of those Red Pill accounts on Twitter decided to gin up some engagement by asking its readers a question:
The midterm elections showed that most Americans aren’t fans of the Republican anti-trans crusade. But that’s not stopping GOP politicians across the country from pushing legislation that will strip trans people of basic rights and vital health care.
