sometimes you don't need to make a subject more complicated than it appears
You should all read this piece because it’s an absolute masterclass in depravity. I’ll highlight some favorites below.
“the Zoom meeting was not the f it at time Mr. Toobin has surprised someone in the business with his sexual forewardness.” is a real quote.
Apparently folks at the Times see a colleague exposed as a work-call-masturbator and think - this is a direct quote now - “there but for the grace of God go I”
This is just art.
If you’re trying to wonder why #MeToo took so long to receive public attention, I have an idea.
To be serious for a second, this might be the saddest two sentences I’ve ever read in print in my life.
Just. I can’t.
This is a real line in this piece.
The death kiss of left-leaning public life.
Sometimes I think the reason that I have the schtick on here that I do is because I’m the only one who bothers to read this stuff.
I never knew the Times employed so many libertarians.

I’m beginning to think that perhaps the media’s coverage of Democratic and Republican cabinet appointees might be...a little different.
I want you to look really, really hard and tell me if you can spot the difference.👇
I understand that these two individuals are different, with different qualifications for different jobs.
But @washingtonpost, you’ve gotta recognize that when one nom gets a glowing write up of airport romance, and the other gets pilloried, that you’re sending a message, right?
I mean cmon @washingtonpost. Remember how you used to talk about Trump nominees?
I ask this earnestly: is there any evidence - even a shred - that if Biden or some other Democrat were in the White House that things would be different? That we wouldn’t be seeing thousands of people die every day?
If you think there is, I would encourage you to prove evidence. Because Democratic governors have, overwhelmingly, failed to confront this pandemic, which has played out mostly at the state level.
Seven of the ten states with the highest mortality rates per capita have Democratic governors. That doesn’t count Gov. Charlie Baker of MA, who has governed the way most blue states governors have.
The Hunter Biden story broke two months ago. Most of the media ignored it or called it “Russian disinformation,” despite no evidence that it was.
Now that the election is over, the story, it seems, is fit to print.
Who’s up for a little before and after?
You’ll remember that one of the key players in all this was Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunters.
Well, you might not if you’ve only read @CNN. As of last night, they’d never mentioned him. But their homepage featured Hunter and China.
Funny, that.
And surely you’ll remember that @CNN had former DNI James Clapper on the program to say that the Post’s reporting - that blew the lid off of the Biden family corruption in the first place - was “classic textbook Soviet Russian tradecraft” back in October.
