This was not a good week for me to see that rat story

Read @tressiemcphd  on the obsession with AOC’s looks

Watching multiple high-profile writers over the last year conflate editing with censorship & accountability with "cancel culture" has been really...something. What's been most interesting, tho, is seeing how few of them remain relevant after those resignation tantrums.

Like it took a lot of ego for someone like BW to think that her career would still flourish post-NYT. But it was that institutional relationship & the power that came with it that made people want to talk about her. Once it was gone...not so much

This is especially true when your beat is "brave contrarian" or whatever. Without that juxtaposition of your (smarter) colleagues, you're just writing into the ether

This isn't to say all of these people won't get their payday, because you can absolutely milk 'cancel culture' for book deals, speaking, etc. But the power is gone & the audience will never be the same

@carmenmmachado  In addition to being in terrible taste, love a movie that paints govt health rules as oppressive and those that break them the heroes! That definitely won't appeal to the people in this country who think a mask is a rights violation!

I fully stalked the asshole: turned all the lights off and stayed perfectly still on my couch. When it finally came out and ran under my bookshelf, I positioned a bunch of zap traps around it. Very satisfying but I do not recommend the smell of electrocuted mouse

She is so full of shit

There are so many high-profile women who were pro-choice their whole lives until the opportunity arose for a power grab. I almost have more respect for actual "pro-lifers" than I do women who cynically sell out other women
