Can they just end the show ? It’s been on long enough imo

[vibeology_e]

No! What a horrible suggestion. Let us nerds have our show!

[aliceofclubs]

...why would anyone end it?? end all of these useless survivor and big brother and real housewives trash

[curdlesnoots]

I often do wonder what is the bigger tribute, continuing on something to honour someone’s memory or finishing it as an acknowledgment of their indelible impact.

It's actually pretty impressive how much they messed this up and how outwardly gross this man was about blatantly trying to grab power and money capitalizing on Alex Trebek's death. I've also been seeing some of Mayim Bialik's "scientific" opinions going around twitter. Not sure if that will take off since everything else is such a mess too.

[ilovespooons]

Yeah they main one I keep seeing is this:

I've tweeted about this before, but Mayim Bialik has built a career as a momfluencer peddling the incredibly dangerous idea that parents who opt for non-"natural" methods are causing their children harm. The vaccine stuff is only the tip of the iceberg. https://t.co/v0LArJoMuv

Originally I saw a tweet from the woman who did the interview (or if not this one, then an interview where she says basically the same thing.) The reporter mentioned this was after she had talked about her own experience of having recently given birth and had a C-section. The reporter deleted the tweet later because it started to go around and she didn't want to deal with the twitter weirdos, but with that info the quote has very big "I'm not saying it (but I'm saying it)" energy imo

[evett]

I have read that quote over and over and I'm not seeing the issue.

she said she doesn't believe babies should die if the mother can't have a home birth like some other holistic women think. and that's a bad thing? I'm confused.

[post_dada]

She's saying that while she doesn't believe that those babies should die, she DOES believe that the baby is inferior to others

[stillglows]

i have no horse in this race at all because i barely even watched jeopardy but i can't get enough of this mess lol.

[nathskywalker]

Lol same. I have never watched a second of Jeopardy but i love reading about this mess.

[sandstorm]

Same lol

[nigelwitthebrie]

Omg same lol....I can't stand jeopardy, but this drama/mess has me at the edge of my seat eating my popcorn

[colapuss]

is anyone but an awful white person really too much to ask? Fuck this guy and fuck Jennings.

[xorogueox]

I really don’t like Jennings, his personality is soo dry

[genbu_no_miko24]

Obvs there seems to be some behind the scenes messiness but saying "mishandling Jeopardy's legacy" or "tarnishing Trebek's legacy" is a bit exaggerated.

The general public ain't following this that closely.
