also kind of a crazy allegation to drop without any evidence or backup in one installment of a series. i should hope there's something in part 3, and that this is merely a questionable journalistic decision instead of wild malpractice

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

Am I always up for a rant about how Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is NOT a worship song? Yes!
Do I also have specifically the Jeff Buckley cover of "Hallelujah" in a playlist about how my relationship with god is complicated? You better believe it! 😆

The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

The main difference between their characters is that I would view Butthead as being morally culpable for his crimes in a way I wouldn’t for Beavis. Beavis I’m almost instantly arguing down to manslaughter, Butthead is full Murder One

Trying to do the "what perfect album came out when you were 16?" meme, and it's really driving home that the music scene was *DIRE* around the turn of the millennium.
I can go down the list of releases & find stuff that was in heavy rotation in my discman, but perfect? HELL no.

I kinda wonder how much of the problem is outdated vocab - people seeing "social emotional learning" and assuming it's hippy shit instead of "is your child well-behaved and not a jackass to their classmates?"
Of course, it could be a lot of parents are just wilfully obtuse about it.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”
