    Matthew Yglesias signed it lol. That guy never met a cancellation of a right wing idea that he didn't like.

      He’s starting to notice some of the extreme positions of his fellow travelers and it seems to be making him nervous. That’s a good sign. (I see people retweet some of his tweets about it). I was wondering/hoping about Klein as well but I doubt he’ll break until they actually come for him.

        At least two signatories have retracted.

        Not sure if they felt pressured or if they saw other signatories that they themselves want to cancel.

          which ones?

          I assume the set of people invited to sign was very small and arbitrary anyway.

              Not big names. They probably did the cause more of a service by leaving than staying, thereby proving how necessary it is.

                    Ms Boylan must have reminded Jonah of all the girls who wouldn’t have had sex with him.

                        Well I said reminded. I’m no fan of the trans fad but I will give trans women one thing. They are capable of being vaguely reminiscent of women enough to remind one of women.

                            Plus you can’t really rule out the possibility that the legion of women who have refused to have sex with you included some trans women.

                                  It’s so ironic. That woman seems like she needs a good dick. And yet that’s the very thing she cut off.

                                    I will have to listen to his podcast. I am sure he will devote some words to attempting to reconcile with this.

                                      Be a saint and note the time on the podcast where he starts talking about it. So if it’s interesting we don’t have to listen to the whole thing.
