      Again, I don’t know what you’re referring to. I can tell you feel strongly about whatever it is. If you want to explain it better and get me on board with it you’ll need to add some context around who this person is and why what Ken said about them is problematic.

      The work I’ve seen him crush is putting in endless FOIAs to expose massive wrongdoing at all levels of government and he doesn’t seem to pull any punches on whether it’s the right or the left fucking around or finding out, and I value that. But I’m still not hip to everything he says or does regards whom, and I’m not enough of a fanboy to drop what I’m doing right now to go down that particular rabbit hole. I do know he left the intercept over enshittification, on principal, which for a writer is a very risky but awesome and empowering move if it works out for him.

          Thanks, now I understand. NGL I have and will again make comments like that when any number of people die (I’m not proud of that, it’s just a fact) but I probably wouldn’t do it so publicly. I’m also not a public figure. Is saying something dumb like this on his part enough to disregard the real work he’s doing? I’m not convinced.

          I watch a lot of John Oliver so frankly this particular tweet looks pretty tame to me. 🤷
