Imagine if Bret Stephens had to endure a tiny fraction of the hateful comments that women and POC—even total civilians—get #onhere.
I mean I’ve had people send me snuff shots and threaten to rape me and then gut my child in front of me, I mean being jokingly called bedbug is maybe not the best thing ever but...
The other thing that is remarkable about this is that another white dude at the Times *just* got in trouble for emailing @rgay, demanding an apology, and ccing her boss (and publisher). I mean, this was bound not to go well.
I cannot believe he took to cable to press his case

1/ Today, we launched a giant project on American Oligarchy.

From the rise of Trump, to crippling housing prices, to reality TV, there's nothing that explains America's crises like seemingly limitless power (and oft farcical vanity) of the super rich: motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
2/ First, a quick video preview of what a full issue of @MotherJones magazine, plus a lot more online, holds: tiktok.com/@motherjonesma…
3/ The capstone of this issue is an amazing essay by @timothypmurphy. Check out this lede: motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

1/ Sure seems like big news orgs should update their "what we know and don't know" stories about the bombing at the hospital to mention in the first graph that the hospital itself was not hit or even sustained much damage! npr.org/2023/10/18/120…
Image
2/ NPR doesn't have a transcript up yet but listen to this 3-min piece that's a good rundown of the whole situation npr.org/2023/10/19/120…
3/ The cynic in me thinks news orgs that were too hasty in their assessments are now hiding behind language like the bombing "at" the hospital. (Rather than "of.")

1/ I want everyone to realize that Elon has set up his site so that these snuff videos will be monetized for his blue checks.
2/ Responsible newsrooms will not shove them into your feed. Certainly @MotherJones will not. But some will. So protect yourself accordingly. Starting staying off "for you" which is now a cesspool of Nazis on the make. Use "folllowing" instead.
3/ Do other platforms have issues, yes. But no place will be anywhere near as bad as this place.

People who think blocking should be eliminated are exactly like the people who get mad when you turn down a free drink or tell you to smile.
Yeah, most people who harass you on twitter won't threaten you physically. But, just like the dude at the bar, you never know.

And, harassment and trolling and threats are psychologically harmful.
Anyway, Elon Musk and his fan boys are exactly the type of people who feel deep offense when you decline to listen to them.

Clarence Thomas has always been a stain on American jurisprudence but it is Chief Justice John Roberts that bears the responsibility for the reputational implosion of the Court, by failing to institute ethics codes that all other federal judges abide by: propublica.org/article/claren…
Oh look, the dude that Trump installed *as ethics counsel* at the Office of Management and Budget was part of the trips shoveling favors to Clarence Thomas Image
When the ethics officer of the OMB is on a billionaire's junket to lard up a Supreme Court Justice, it's time for some karaoke Image

1/ Timeline cleanse from Tours, France, where today we visited the Musée de la typographie (really as much a workshop), where Muriel Mechin, a second generation artisan of typography, lithography, and small offset presses holds forth. Image
2/ He is a second generation printer/artist—started working with his dad at 14. He loves puns (@daudig). My French was nowhere near being good enough to extract all he wanted to convey, but he did ink up a bunch of mini presses to make us some prints… Image
3/ and showed us trays of type in everything g from Sanskrit to Braille. Also… there used to be kids toys about printing and typography? Want: ImageImage
