In this bit8 moments
  • Tim describes Threads as Instagram's Twitter, populated by people with self-diagnosed autoimmune disorders and voluntary disabilities, versus X which is grifters and Nazis.
  • The Lindsay Clancy case: a woman who killed three of her children, with the defense not denying the act itself.
  • Tim notes that people on Threads have pointed out a secondary fact: that it's difficult to be a woman.
  • Tim issues a trigger warning specifically for women who may have killed their children, to spare them from difficult feelings.
  • As a gay man who doesn't have sex with women or live with them, Tim says it's almost not his place to speak on the topic at all.
  • Tim argues against judging the woman for killing her children because there's more to the story, and questions whether she's guilty in a technical sense.
  • He requests that viewers approach the trial with open minds and open hearts rather than judgment.
  • Prosecutors highlighted Clancy's diary entry: 'I'm so desperate to get a mental break from taking care of everyone that my mind is trying to make something physically wrong with me.'
