I still think it’s too early to call this, I’m not seeing reporting by major orgs on it. It does seem plausible based on the messages on the casings, but I also thought it plausible he was a leftist
Nobody retracted the casing story. That appears to have been true. They just didn’t have “trans ideology” engraved on them (which, what would that even mean), but instead meme phrases that included a common furry line.
(If we’re being real, conflating “notices bulgie OWO” with the trans community isn’t entirely unbelievable if you’re unfamiliar with it - it’s an incredibly common meme in the queer furry community and that has a massive overlap with trans folks. I know at least one trans person that has it as a tattoo, and several that just have “OwO” or “>:3” tats. My father, a queer rights activist for the past 50 years, thought it was a trans-rights slogan when he first read the reporting on this. Mistaking the manufacturer’s stamp “trns” for being pro-trans messaging though… that one is dumb)
AFAIK, the casings messages are real, just different than originally reported. And while it’s true major news orgs have an anti left bias, it doesn’t manifest in this specific way. They tend to accurately report these kinds of facts in a timely manner.
Then again, the WSJ did break with this behavior, so maybe things are changing and I need to recalibrate.
None of this is retracted, and these aren’t the manufacturer’s markings. I’ll go ahead and be dumb enough to believe the reporting from all these ‘“news” orgs’. I am now propagandized into believing that a clearly unwell person made a potentially unusual decision.
As always, I like to see more than an image of a tweet, but Shuster is an actual journalist.

Hang in there. There are beatiful things in this world, just nowhere near people like charlie & nick.

Oops, did I do an inconvenient fact?
