I’m thinking of investing in “JD Vance killed Donald Trump” merch, not because he did, but considering Donald’s age and arteries, if Trump dies of natural causes in office, I’ll be able to ride that conspiracy into my own retirement.

Kamala Harris’s 60 minutes interview had 5.7 million live viewers, and as of today, 3.8 million views on YouTube. Making approximately 9.5 million views total.

Spotify doesn’t release their numbers, but just on YouTube, Donald Trump’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s 3-hour podcast got over 26 million views in the first 24 hours (and today is sitting at 55 million views).

Even if CBS was somehow unfair, it doesn’t matter. Trump got a massive viewership advantage going on Rogan, but because he’s a fossil, doesn’t see it that way, because he still thinks broadcast TV is mainstream media. It’s not. Joe Rogan is mainstream media at this point.

While I personally believe trans athletes should be allowed to compete in any league of their choice or at least the league most closely matching the gender they present as, there is a part of me that would also like open-gendered sports in general. I have a theory that the “women are weaker, and would get crushed in leagues with men” is misogyny seeing only disadvantages and none of the advantages women athletes have (more complete brain development during their prime athletic years, etc.) If you are actually concerned about injury, then go by weight class, which could help save smaller men from severe injury as well.

I do also wonder just how much keeping sports gendered is just done to protect male egos from being styled on by women.
