Opinion | Ken Jennings: Trivia and β€˜Jeopardy!’ Could Save Our Republic

Ugh. That reads like a press release.

I actually do trust and believe your motives. I do also think you’ll have a PR/perception obstacle to get over, but you may have a strategy for that. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating, of course.

I’m rephrase: how do you intend to court the non-toxic, when the idea sounds so toxic? Is that a concern, or do you trust your motives will be enough?

You just repeated the same thing you said the first time.

I’m a playwright, not a novelist, so apples and oranges, sure; but I wouldn’t want to be associated with a β€œMale Writers Only” publisher or producer for my scripts, no matter how sincere.

Are you concerned at all that your β€œMen Only” launch branding will invite exactly those chuds in your submissions, and act as a deterrent for the non-toxic male writers you hope to champion?

I imagine the Supreme Court will be interested in this tweet.

AIDS Walk New York 2025 is coming up, and my team The Salty Bitches and I will be walking, again and always.

If among all the other crises, you can find the time, heart, and some dollars to help us out, I’d be forever grateful.

β€œMake Canada the 51st state” is β€œAnnex the Sudetenland” but stupider.

I got my latest Covid shot because it’s time, plus a pneumonia shot because they’re recommending it for us olds, plus an MMR shot because of the stoopid running rampant throughout our land.

Protect yourself & others. Ignorance is contagious.

Carl Dean, Dolly Parton’s husband of over 60 years and a man of mystery, dies at age 82 Carl Dean hid in the shadows while his wife dazzled in the spotlight. But he was Dolly Parton’s partner and biggest fan from the moment they met.

There are those who refer to M as my Carl Dean. I know what it means to have a Carl Dean. No one should have to lose their Carl Dean.

My heart breaks for Dolly.

Whoot! Director Allan Piper and and I have made it to the quarterfinals round of the @killershorts.bsky.social 2025 competition for our screenplay adaptation of my play CASSIE STRICKLAND IS NOT UNDER THE BED!

I'm sadly unsurprised that she's the only one so far who has said anything publicly about it, and that none of the men who were deepfaked have made a peep. (If I'm wrong about that, I would love to know.)

RFK Jr has been confirmed to run HHS β€” which is, quite literally, sickening.

Beloveds, please think it through: if consent matters, then consent matters.

The incentive and permission this creates for a deepfake of say, Nick Offerman in a MAGA hat, or ANY OF YOU in a pro-nazi t-shirt, is so clear and obvious it hurts my head.

I get that the message is righteous, and Kanye can suck eggs; but the β€œI don’t care that it’s fake” response (from actors, of all people) tells me a lot about where we’re headed, and it ain’t good.

I can’t believe we had a whole strike against unauthorized AI-generated uses of our likeness and yet all these #actors are out here sharing that deepfake video.

Y'all. AI deepfakes made without consent are bad, even when they're conveying an entirely righteous message.
