Last I'd heard his lawyers can't even find which facility he's in, so, yeah, this is not unlikely
Look up v-coding if you want your day ruined. This is an act of violence.
As a cis woman, keep our names out of your mouth. More of us embrace trans people than not.
Maybe it's worth giving him an earful about this? He said a lot of stuff about student athletes (Education Issues), prison treatment (Prison Issues), etc. and I bet his office would love to know how his podcast with Charlie Kirk is affecting his public image.
Just so you know, someone isn't "really nice" if they make jokes like that. Maybe she used to be nice, but she isn't acting that way now.
I'm not sure how old you are, but it sounds like you're both still teenagers or maybe young adults. People are trying to figure themselves out at that time, and sometimes what they try out is edgelord (especially when the edgelords are gaining political power). She may be testing boundaries of what is socially acceptable, in which case it's in her best interests as well as yours to gently push back against this kind of behavior (or more forcefully later if she doesn't take a hint).
Something like, "hey, it makes me uncomfortable when you make those 'identify as' jokes. You know I'm nonbinary and that sort of humor makes me feel like you don't respect me. I fully support your identity, including your faith, and as your friend I hope you would do the same for me."
Even if you are 1-on-1 for that chat, she is almost certainly going to respond negatively to that, so I would drop it there, but be prepared to remind her that you don't like it later. Ideally after some reflection she wakes up and realizes she's causing harm to your friendship, but be prepared to break it off entirely with her if she doesn't want to treat you with respect.
Full respect to the potential harm of this concept, but isn't this a channer type edgy meme that boils down to "I'm so irony poisoned that I need to have an excuse for my genuine need to transition"? Like in 2021 it was "now that Biden's in office he's gonna forcefem all the men ohhhh nooooo here I go taking estrogen that I definitely don't want to be doing ohhhh nooooo". Obviously the ramp from someone makes an edgy joke to someone genuinely believes it to be true is so short nowadays, but giving it attention and taking it seriously to repudiate it also kind of leans into that, no?
This post is less than half an hour old, can you let people see it first before complaining of silence?
Shoulda made the alias instead it sounds like!
Well maybe let's not "and all" the racist parts. You can still be critical of works you otherwise enjoy.
I think it's easier to separate the art from the artist when those artists are long dead, like Poe and Lovecraft. It is materially more difficult when those people are alive and still benefitting from their works. This has been a big issue with JK Rowling for example, where consuming her media (book and movie sales, video games, theme parks, the new show, etc.) often directly benefits her and her transphobic crusade. Gaiman doesn't have that kind of political baggage necessarily but it's also understandable that people don't want to support him in any way now. So, like, don't trash your already purchased novels or anything, but also I think it's perfectly reasonable to avoid Good Omens Season 3 if you want, you know ?
On your last point, I'm surprised that Musk isn't more visibly worried about assassination attempts. He's really not making friends with anyone in government or otherwise, and the one guy backing him is a bad mood away from testing his full immunity powers and seizing several billions for himself. Like, if I had that kind of fuck off money, I sure wouldn't be putting my neck on the line for this.
Bad news, TYT are also transphobic π
