Episode 56: Yes We Have Receipts But No You Cannot See Them  
Podcast: Blocked and Reported
Published On: Sat Mar 20 2021
Description: After reflecting on the podcast turning one whole year old next week, Jesse and Katie talk about the massive online uproar over his (and others') continuing presence on Substack, Katie's impressive Brianna-Wu-related fundraising, and the underappreciated connection between GamerGate and 4chan. Then the hosts discuss media coverage of the awful massage-parlor shootings in Atlanta, and particularly the rush to slot them into an oversimplified race narrative.Please consider preordering Jesse's book The Quick Fix: Why Fad Psychology Can't Cure Our Social Ills: https://www.amazon.com/Quick-Fix-Psychology-Cant-Social/dp/0374239800/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Jon Kay's big Quillette piece on the rumors about Jesse:https://quillette.com/2021/03/18/the-campaign-of-lies-against-journalist-jesse-singal-and-why-it-matters/ Ryan Broderick’s dishonest article about Substack: https://www.garbageday.email/p/starting-to-think-we-are-acting-likeAn interview of Jesse's Ryan would have benefited from reading:https://www.vulture.com/2016/05/against-me-laura-jane-grace-playing-north-carolina.html Jude Doyle’s dishonest article about Substack: https://doyles.substack.com/p/in-queers-we-trust-all-others-payJude Doyle’s dishonest article about leaving Substack:https://doyles.substack.com/p/necessary-lossesBrianna Wu HAS RECEIPTS:https://twitter.com/briannawu/status/1371452139856392196Katie’s thread on Wu’s DMs about her and Jesse:https://twitter.com/kittypurrzog/status/1371484911773700098Wu’s threatening email to Jesse:https://twitter.com/jessesingal/status/1371470202030936067Jesse’s story on the Kenneth Zucker clinic:https://www.thecut.com/2016/02/fight-over-trans-kids-got-a-researcher-fired.htmlHerzog’s impressive fundraising efforts:https://twitter.com/kittypurrzog/status/1372583800480301065There appear to be myriad holes in Zoe Quinn’s story about Alec Holowka, who committed suicide after (but not necessarily as a result of) her accusations and his subsequent firing:https://thepostmillennial.com/exclusive-zoe-quinns-allegations-are-falling-apartFreddie deBoer’s apology:https://freddiedeboer.substack.com/p/statementFreddie deBoer’s essay about people’s unwillingness to accept his apology:https://freddiedeboer.substack.com/p/since-you-askedMelissa Jeltsen’s useful and nuanced thread on the massage-parlor shootings and the temptation of simple storytelling:https://twitter.com/quasimado/status/1372536018721734662Whiteness Doesn’t Cause Mass Shootings:https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/11/whiteness-mass-shootings.htmlBasic info on Robert Aaron Long:https://apnews.com/article/georgia-massage-parlor-shootings-leave-8-dead-f3841a8e0215d3ab3d1f23d489b7af81No, a police captain didn’t blame the shooting on a “bad day”:https://reason.com/2021/03/19/aaron-robert-long-spa-killer-atlanta-jay-baker-cop-bad-day/Everyone got the Pulse nightclub shooting wrong:https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/4/5/17202026/pulse-shooting-lgbtq-trump-terror-hate This is a public episode.
