“In his fantasy-land reporters have to be wearing suits and ties to be protected under the First Amendment, and they’re certainly a danger if not. That is not what the First Amendment says. Perhaps Fortney and the Chase Center could benefit from some of the civics education they pretend to provide.”

New from me:
Special Investigation: Public records show Ohio State planned a moment of silence after Charlie Kirk's killing that one university dean predicted would cause public criticism.
Ohio State scrapped the plan hours after The Rooster broke the news.

I wrote this for Awful Announcing, and I can’t stress enough how important of a watch this is. This documentary demands justice, and I truly hope Ohio State will finally step up to the plate and deliver.

My endorsement for Columbus City School Board, along with an interview of @m0umir.bsky.social. I guess the second part kind of goes with the first. belldumber.substack.com/p/lets-fix-t...

Goes without saying but cutting cancer research because of faux accusations of antisemitism will lead to far more antisemitism and far less cancer research.

Posted this on the other site (sorry) but: I think it’s really interesting that Ohio State established a center for “cultivating citizens for a free society” and the center has said literally nothing about 11 students having their visas revoked for exercising free speech

If you live near Worthington you should share this with your circles. We cannot have local (alt right) restaurants raising money for convicted murderers.
A popular Columbus bar and restaurant posted a recored video of a man in prison saying a portion of sales this month of a specific sandwich would go to his prison commissary.
If you Google what his life sentence is for, not sure people will be rushing to get that sandwich!

My take on this is that even in a D midterm it will be very hard to win Ohio Gov and I’d much rather have Vivek lose in the primary.

The Ye tweets being just so profoundly openly anti-Semitic and not even getting taken down is probably my final straw on the other site. It’s just so deeply hurtful.

One of the people running DOGE, Luke Farritor, messaged me several years ago on LinkedIn asking about when I worked at McDonald’s in high school. Not groundbreaking or anything but kind of funny.
