I really don’t know, honestly

I haven’t gone down the path of it being a conspiracy but that text exchange made me feel like something is not right with the “official” narrative.

And why would Netanyahu make this video. Imagine if Trump or some other foreign leader made a video saying they didn’t kill Charlie Kirk. It’s beyond weird.

Yeah he keeps referencing it man. Really sketch. Quite a “the lady doth protest too much, methinks” vibe.

It’s not judging people to be critical of whether or not they were hired because of DEI policies. Especially when DEI has become so prevalent.

Whenever I engage with a professional, especially when safety depends on it, I want to know that person has the correct qualifications and they were hired purely on merit, not the color of their skin.

And in the example of the pilot which criteria was used to determine whether said pilot was DEI hire?

And which skin color is most likely a DEI hire?

As much as you want it to be, it’s simply not racism. It’s being critical of DEI policy. Nothing more, nothing less.

It’s getting boring trying to explain it to you, so please don’t get offended if I don’t reply to you any further.

I’m not offended and it is racism plain and simple.

We need to see more text messages from these two, not this (supposedly) cherry-picked snippet. Even if there weren’t any other glaring issues with the core content - I talk to many people, and the ones who are gen-z and chronically online DO NOT talk like this lmao.

there was the examples from one of the discord servers given by an anonymous friend, and Robinson wrote in a similar fashion- generally complete sentences, vowels intact, no emojis, maybe just some capitalisation and punctuation omitted.

maybe trying to protect Twiggs by making him look innocent

edit: not sure if the messages between the “roommates” were texts messages or discord, but I think it was the latter, and getting a private company to be in on it seems like it would be a challenge.

Makes me wonder how much does Israel depend on the Christian right in congress for support? Especially now when many moderate and left leaning jewry are probably abandoning support for them??

I think it is crazy to think Israel would have anything to do with it…. The US has its own polarised radical nonsense.

Sure they just happened to make a “business decision” the day Trump’s FCC chair made this comment

Hours earlier, FCC Chair Brendan Carr told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that Kimmel’s comments were “truly sick,” and that there was a “strong case” for action against ABC and Disney.
“This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said. “These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

These things happen all the time!

Anyway, the comments are the problem regardless of the motivation for Disney’s decision. Just wanted to point that out again, though I understand it’s presumably not in dispute.

There have been no shortcuts in pilot training. The legal payouts would be off the scale.

The problem is using that as an excuse to make judgements about people you don’t know anything about purely on skin color.

It’s also one of the most regulated licencing schemes on earth.

It’s racism both ways.

There’s no way they’d take such a risk. I have friends who are pilots.

FCC pressure over the comments were ridiculous.

But I think it was a combo of not wanting the feds on them, show was tanking anyways, and Kimmel might want to save face instead of limping towards the end of his contract in Spring of 2026. I can’t imagine they were going to renew his contract when he lost 40% viewership this year alone.

Yes, it would be crazy. But Israel has been acting crazy.

I just don’t think we are getting the full story. Whether it’s a conspiracy or incompetence, idk.

Sure, if they thought they could scrape another nickel out of him despite the weight of the federal government threatening to bear down on them, they might have cobbled some kind of backbone together. Nevertheless, the presence of “not wanting the feds on them” in that equation tells the whole story under these circumstances.

i think the ratings thing is being overstated. To compare august to january makes no sense. there is a summer lull. plus, he was on vacation for 2 months from what I understand, returning in september.
or maybe it was a 2 week break… not sure as i don’t watch it
apparently guest hosts filled in during break and new season started sept. 2

[tempogain]

I think I once watched a clip of him doing something kind of funny. Not sure

[Van]

definitely was in the, ahem, crosshairs

Reported that they were text messages.

Even if the tone of the texts somehow (and I still don’t think so) coincide with Robinson’s typing persona, I still am completely hung up by the topical nature of the messages.

Why on earth would Robinson mess up his own meme, and even more stupidly, why would he need to tell Twiggs that his Dad is MAGA? If they actually were in a relationship, if Twiggs even knew Robinson’s background a little, this would already have been well established. No shit Robinson’s family was MAGA.

Makes zero sense.

I thought possibly the meme mix-up might’ve been a reference to UVU
