This is truly shocking, even for @Slate defector.com/mike-pesca-sla…
Suspended from JOURNALISM for making a valid argument. Unbelievable.
@pescami is a fantastic reporter, commentator, and interviewer and was the only person at Slate still worth listening to.
I just searched Slate for The Word and guess what. Maybe @Slate should memory-hole their archives before they clean house.

Interesting perspective but this guy seems to think his way of viewing the world should be imposed on his patients whether or not they want it. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0…
I’m guessing the vast majority of this country would respond to the pronoun question with confusion if not offense. But this doctor seems to think nearly everyone should be made uncomfortable to accommodate a tiny percentage of the population. How is this a good plan?
Here’s what I’d do... if you must play the pronoun game, put it on the intake form with a giant OPTIONAL tag. Otherwise, just go with biological sex. You’ll probably be correct.

I have got to find something to listen to besides NPR. I was trying to go back to sleep after taking my wife to the ferry this AM and heard the host of Morning Edition say. “We’ve lost so many lives to corona virus and police brutally.” Only one of those things is true.
The host didn’t specify what she meant by “police brutality” but 46 unarmed people were shot and killed by police in 2020. 16 of them were black. That’s out of a nation of 330 million people and millions of police encounters a year. It’s a fraction of a fraction of a fraction.
I don’t say this because I have any love for cops (I don’t) but because the job of the media is to accurately reflect what is happening in the world, and this ain’t it. No wonder people think we have a giant, racist police killing problem! That’s what they are told.

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

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:

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
