The blogs of Bnonn Tennant and Michael Foster (itsgoodtobeaman.com and bnonn.com) are no longer available. The former site has been deleted, with its DNS A record deleted. The latter is returning a 404.
I’ve written about both men over the years and interacted with their material on a number of occasions. I may have had my disagreements, but I wouldn’t have wanted their work to go offline.
ROISSY/GBFMosphere update on the Manosphere Update
GREAT news DEREK!
https://www.itsgoodtobeaman.com/ is still up & NOT deleted (as a substack) by Michael Foster who still believes in Grow in(GBFMian)wisdom, lead with(mucho) strength.😉😊😎😇
The Substack seems only to go back to January, 2025. All the older articles appear to be gone.
Like many others, Foster moved on to Twitter where he gets significantly more engagement.
Its the “sign of the times”as Petula would say.
The traditional blog is going out, and I guess that was bound to happen.
As for the “manosphere blogs” its hardly from “cancel culture” or the other trappings of that.
Its mainly: what needed to be said, has been said a trillion times over and if men are that stupid and cant find any “help” or information online concerning these matters, well that is really on them at this point.
The video medium has taken over, and has been on that trajectory for several years now.
You will always have a few blogs that will be a “read only” format and thats fine.
Also, this type of “manopshere” thing is now pushing on a generation. Tastes, styles and concerns of men of a younger generation change and they may indeed believe or think”Why am I taking advice from divorced men or in unhappy marriages?” or “These older guys only talk about sex, and think only “confidence” gets you a girlfriend, a wife or dates. These men are clueless today” and “Why should I listen to a man with a pony tail, and a whiny voice tell me about complex topics about female nature when he hasnt had a date since he met his future wife in 1994?”
Its changing, but some of the core baselines wont change
Sadly, the self-appointed leaders and spouters of “red pill” daily and everything is “red pill” are sounding more like the tradcon boomers they bemoan at this point
Everything is ephemeral. Imagine how much is lost with each generation in history.

YEAH like where the ”RPgenius” ”leaders” know they need ”GOOD” government to back up their ”PATRIARCHY” yet forget ”GOOD” government stopped needing their ”PATRIARCHY” after their new ”farming” sysem of factories came about through corporations or as they were previously known as ”TRUSTS” as in ”TRUST-BUSTING” with TEDDY Roosevelt in the early 19 aughts.
Here’s some links that explain the above too!

Why did people move from farms to cities in the Industrial Era of America?
Were they forced there by big business? Or did they think they would have a better life?

Better life. Farming (say in the 1840’s- 1850’s when factories are becoming a big thing in the North, especially New England) was very hard. Plowing and scything is hard manual labor, all farm labor is constant and many farms in New England were not competitive with farms in Ohio, Indiana, where the soil was better, and once the Erie Canal came into use c.1830 and permitted easy transport through the Great Lakes, they found themselves in competition with them. There’s also just so much land available for farming, and much of the wealth stays with the land- so, the third or fourth sons may not have enough money to buy a farm, and there may be no farm to buy, either. This did not prevent people from heading west to get cheaper land to farm ( Hamlin Garland’s Main Traveled Roads is a good- and not too romantic- memoir of his father moving his family to do just that). But plenty still could not. The Lowell spinning mills found a very rich source of cheap labor in the hundreds of girls who wanted to leave the family farm- even if they wanted a farm of their own, their best hope would have been to marry a farmer.
But given factory conditions and wages, it is still a little surprising so many made the move. Southern apologists for slavery tried to contrast the harsh New England factory conditions with their (supposedly) well-treated slaves. Horatio Alger, in his many optimistic novels of bright young men always getting ahead, never had one getting ahead by working in factory. Probably if it had not been for immigration, industrialization would have been much much slower.

I thought that in the era when most of the workers at the Lowell mills were young women the conditions were pretty good. One of the reasons being that these women generally weren’t desperate for the income and could move back in with their families if things got really bad.
Probably if it had not been for immigration, industrialization would have been much much slower.
I understand that one of the reasons that the conditions in the Lowell mills and other industries got worse is that immigrants provided a source of cheap labor and under conditions where they needed the income for basic survival. This is not to disparage the immigrants of course, but to argue for the effect of supply and demand in this situation.
As for “industrialization would have been much much slower”, why? There is a widely though not universally accepted theory that high wages drive greater automation and capital investment. If labor is very cheap then why spend the money to automate?

Well the girls went on strike over the 73 hour work-week, eventually, and the later immigrant workers struck over the increased workload. Generally, each batch of new workers had lower expectations, and over time that changed, and others came in, so Lowell has today a diverse population of descendants of Irish, Greeks, French-Canadian and Italians immigrants who came to work there. It’s rather a commonplace, saying the speed of industrialization was helped by plentiful cheap labor. For automation being driven by expensive labor: I am not up on current theory. But simply increasing production seems to have been sufficient motivation for them modernizing factories, to be able to compete better on cost-per-piece. And there was eventually a limit of automation- textile mills stayed pretty tough places to work, which is why eventually the industry moved from Lowell into the South, and from there to places like Taiwan, from there to places like Nicaragua.

Looking at the (cough) “leadership” of Turning Point USA now. Yes, a traditional “christian / based / red pill” organization. A former inarticulate model is now running it.
Look at all the “bros” running the shell companies with TP USA now, moving the money around. All of them are frat-boy republicans and one claims he was the most “in demand bachelor of his generation”
Real men. The type of guys who leave a mess in the bowl in a public bathroom, dont flush and thinks its “funny”
But all the girls like them evidently and that is all that matters! lol!
I was watching a video from a man from the UK. Not a big channel. Not a ton of followers. He was talking recently about “red pill” and a meeting of the “great minds” of red pill in Miami just recently.
They were partying it up in Miami. I am sure they had some overpriced workshops and the like for their fellow red pill slavish adherents to come to and to be lectured on how “blue pill” the rest of mankind is, except for them of course….
Nick Fuentes was there with his bad “edgar” haircut. One of the guys from the “fresh n fit” podcast. He was dressed for an evening out in down vest with a graphic tee. The one Tate brother was there….the one no one cares about. He was wearing an ugly pink suit that was wrinkled and ill fitting. It looked like something Elton John would wear back in 1983.That one guy who is on the “whatever” podcast now and then. He owns a gazillion businesses and makes tons of money and calls men not like him “lazy”. He always wears his shirt half unbuttoned like a 1976 person.
Whatever
Anyway, the video went on to explain that “is the red pill we once as men looked up to, or got help from?”
His answer was a resounding “no”
He mentioned a younger, newer scene has taken over, or the torch was being passed so to speak from the older set……Rollo. A man who has been married over 30 years now and looks almost like he’s now “trying too hard” to look and be hip or fashionable.
He mentioned Roosh who…..to his credit…….did take his found faith in Christ in his Orthodox tradition and has faded into obscurity on purpose.
He mentioned Neil Strauss a former PUA who was (and still is) a very accomplished and talented writer (Rolling Stone) but has renounced those “days of game” in his own life.
He brought up a bunch of characters from the past who did give some decent advice and mentioned how many did indeed help men find their way with women or find a way to navigate the dating world in those times now gone.
He then showed a clip of this new “crew” of red pill leaders so-to-speak in Miami. One was saying “When I have a nine or ten with me, and we go to dinner. Its note a date. I am there with other men, and we are talking business. She keeps her mouth shut, and if she doesnt, I bang her one more time that night and dump her in the morning.”
High fives, laughter all around.
More agreement that red pilled men NEVER take a woman on a date.
Lots of talk about all the hot women that just cannot help themselves and are begging them for attention.
The video continued; mentioning how red pill is moving fast towards crass materialism, dating only women who look like centerfold models, and if she opens her mouth, your penis had better be in it or she is complimenting your authority.
He mentioned times change, but red pill actually helped him find a good wife and helped him to talk to his wife, and genuinely love her. He mentioned “this isnt some older guy hating on the younger scene” but when you reduce red pill to workshops in Miami and partying, a belittling and shaming of men who cannot match your accomplishments as an influencer, or with wealth, or crass shuts downs……how will this help masculinity? How will this change or help or lead women?
He mentioned that some of this may be youthful folly but he ended with a mild warning of “when men see no options with women, except this route put on display what will become of them, and red pill?”

TPUSA Sends LEGAL THREAT To Silence Fraud Investigation!
156,109 views Jan 20, 2026 The Jimmy Dore Show PODCAST
In the organization’s ongoing but inexplicable effort to draw additional attention to its shady operations, Turning Point USA (TPUSA) recently sent cease-and-desist style legal letters to the content creators behind the WolvesAndFinance YouTube channel after they raised questions about TPUSA’s finances and internal transactions.
WolvesAndFinance creator Zach De Gregorio argues that most of his statements about TPUSA were opinions based on public filings, and that TPUSA’s letter mainly objects to wording (like calling an internal review an “audit” or describing entities as “shell companies”) rather than disproving financial red flags.
De Gregorio reviews TPUSA’s explanations for missing employees on tax forms, large money transfers between affiliated groups, and payments to a marketing firm tied to a UPS mailbox, saying the responses do not resolve his concerns. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger frame the legal threats as intimidation that contradicts TPUSA’s public branding around free speech and “asking questions,” especially given Charlie Kirk’s campus-tour messaging.
The ”redpill”osphere has been having MASSIVE problems alliancing themselves with anything or anyone even remotely popular over the last decade like Trump & Fuentes but these things are obviously the ones that will put the last holdouts of the ”blackpill” in that camp.
Also”“When I have a nine or ten with me, and we go to dinner. Its note a date. I am there with other men, and we are talking business. She keeps her mouth shut, and if she doesnt, I bang her one more time that night and dump her in the morning.” ”
After ALL these nearly 20 years since Mystery/Erik von Markovik’s PUA show on MTV ”redpill ”PUA’s are still talking about ”nines & tens?”

To the nth degree!
Ive seen Jimmy Dore twice in LA. Really a fun show. Lots of laughs. Steph was there. So was Kurt. Jackson Hinckle was at the second show giving some commentary.
Jimmy is an interesting podcaster. Funny guy.
I really liked at the show how he was using humor to unite left and right at the show and saying “Im calling you all out now” It seems to be working
