He's an adult rich man who acts like a prepubescent boy. So just imagine what a 12 year old would do with unlimited resources and boop you got musk.

So lets say a bunch of people hit like on CSAM which they will do more because you can hide your liking of CSAM

Won't that mean more people see the CSAM because it's "impressions" are higher?

What is the implication of “there are no women or children”? Do the nativists want more gender balance in the group, and more vulnerable children, making treacherous deadly journeys to their shores? If there were more women and children would they be less opposed to the migration?

No. The implication is that BLACK SAVAGES are leaving wherever they came from specifically to rape PURE WHITE WOMEN. The primary problem with this is that these rapes will result in mixed breed bastards that will dilute the racial purity of Christendom and lead to the destruction of the white race. It has nothing to do with the crime and everything to do with the the racist idea of "white genocide". The next step in the conspiracy is that this is all being orchestrated by THE JEWS in order to weaken any resistance to their plan to dominate the world.

Well, with the caveat that while she would be a great choice, she seems to be very happy doing what she's doing, and the best thing for her (and her mental health) is to keep doing that and stay at her comfortable level of moderate fame.

There's also Physics Girl but she's been hit very, very bad by long COVID for months now :(

I would argue that NDT is the sort of TV scientist that we need right now, probably more of. I can understand that quibbling how flying broomsticks in Harry Potter violates so many laws is stupid on the surface.
But it gets the average person thinking about things. People are being set up by governments to hate science experts, happens in the US/UK/EU/everywhere.
Having NDT say the stupid poo poo but he does then say the poo poo we need people to hear.

So we need him to be EXTREMELY hateable to... go against that?

I dunno, maybe we can get a likeable TV scientist.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-09-14/twitter-mass-layoff-severance-fight-heads-to-settlement-talks#xj4y7vzkg

"Elon Musk’s X Corp. has agreed to try to settle claims by thousands of former Twitter employees who say they were cheated of severance pay, according to a memo by a lawyer for the workers seen by Bloomberg News.

“After 10 months of pressing them in every direction we have succeeded in getting Twitter to the table,” attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan wrote in the memo to her clients, which was obtained from a former Twitter employee who declined to be identified disclosing confidential information. “Twitter wants to mediate with us in a global attempt to settle all claims we have filed.”

They (it's the absolute opposite of a one-person show) have had a few eyebrow-raising takes over the years, but nothing excessively egregious AFAIK. There are subjects, such as life-extension, that are practically impossible to tackle without kicking some ethical hornet nest or other, so they are bound to piss anyone off sooner or later considering the scope of what they tackle. On top of that, they have become extremely transparent with regards to their sourcing/research processes, and they have publicly acknowledged and corrected themselves whenever they gently caress up.

Nobody's perfect, but its clear that they provide more good than harm.

he's literally normalizing anti-semetism right now using a giant platform because 4chan conned him into thinking The Jews are why nobody likes him on the internet
the level of harm he's causing is hard to even quantify

E: if they mean Tyson, I hate him because he's responsible for making science appear more elitist and unapproachable for a huge amount of people by being a dipshit pedant about stupid things and putting people off. Literally "you're not allowed to have fun" is his whole gimmick.
