Summary
This week, in broken telephones:
Jesse Singal deletes his Twitter account in a last-ditch attempt to avoid arrest after Twitter distorts his coverage of a whistleblower at a trans youth center into “Jesse sold the health records of thousands of transgender children to politicians” — a game of ideologically motivated broken telephone worthy of InfoWars.
Now in prison, he recounts his tales of Mormon underwear shortages and podcaster prison gangs over the prison phone, before finally quashing his beef with Jesus. Katie Herzog fills Jesse in on what he’s missed, including a hitpiece from Jude Doyle and triple agent Elisa/James Shupe. Finally, she tries to convince Jesse to hand over his Twitter password before it is lost forever once his execution date arrives.
