If you need me I’ll be reading this article and banging my head against a wall theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

I wonder if the journalist informed her subject that she was going to be writing about her with utter distain or if that was a surprise

She left out the part where Burns got fired from her journalism job for libeling another journalist

I dunno but if I were going to use Grace Lavery as a source for a piece on “TERFs” and censorship I might have mentioned the time she advocated banning a book she doesn’t like

Honestly shocked this was published in The Atlantic. It’s so bad! Not just insanely biased but also boring, which IMO is a bigger crime.

There’s so much bad in this article but I especially like the rather conspicuous failure to mention that radfems never advocate for violence. Unlike some people. terfisaslur.com

And it’s not always just threats thesun.co.uk/news/4691455/c…

@TheAtlantic

Anyway, this article is incredibly bad and it reads like something out of PinkNews rather than the Atlantic. It’s also great fodder for the pod so a big THANK YOU to the author and to @TheAtlantic for your service.

Moose was acting very lethargic and his belly was swollen so I put him on the toilet and tried my new Hello Tushy Modern Bidet Attachment™️ and presto! Totally fine. Let that be a lesson.

Actually I gave him pumpkin purée and made a vet appointment but the Hello Tushy Modern Bidet Attachment™️ really is great hellotushy.com/barpod

All better

I got surprisingly little pushback from my piece in Andrew Sullivan's newsletter from a few weeks ago. I really thought this one was going to explode some heads but every single message I got was supportive. andrewsullivan.substack.com/p/where-have-a…

Andrew got a bunch of feedback as well, and almost all of it was supportive too. You can read some here:

There was one dissenter, who wrote the following:

Why are people mad about Hillbilly Elegy, again? Seems like the more appropriate response is uh... sad.

Still watching but the one part I’ve found kind of ridiculous so far is when JD says something like, “We don’t say ‘redneck.’” The only people I’ve ever heard object to that term are Seattle liberals.

I guess it’s derogatory but in the part of Appalachia I’m from it always seemed more of a descriptor than a slur and plenty of rednecks proudly called themselves rednecks

If Trump were as authoritarian as some people seem to think (and not just a bumbling idiot & egomaniac, as I tend to think), it seems like he would have used the pandemic to exert real power instead of what he actually did, which is sit around watching cable news and tweeting.

Obviously, these dumb attempts to rewrite the election as stolen are disturbing and problematic (though they'll fail) but the dude's ego is the size of Trump Tower. He's grasping.

And not just the pandemic. He also could have used the riots this summer to impose martial law and he just talked about without actually doing much of anything. He's a very bad dictator.
