      - It is clearly an attempt (his own notes said it was). The fact that he got caught early I don't think changes that. Could he have changed his mind? - pmb Sep 24, 16:21 1

From backboards: I didn't even need just the election to ditch NYT. Their empowering very dangerous transphobia would have been enough on its own. - Qale Sep 24, 14:52 8
