Badenoch says the Conservatives would want fewer “low value degrees” and many more apprenticeships. As ever with such announcements I will perhaps take it more seriously when the kids of government ministers and MPs are routinely doing apprenticeships and not degrees.

Olivia Nuzzi is eligible to be elected as a United States senator, she is not a kid

i'm also stuck on the "and how very young she is." she's 32. that's definitely young. but it's not *very* young. and it is certainly not the kind of young that gets you a pass for making bad choices.

I don't know how you square saying this stuff about Olivia Nuzzi with the fact that the CDC decided to stop recommending birth doses of the hepatitis b vaccine days ago. The stakes here are children's lives.

Possibly the only thing more freakish than Nuzzi's prose is the contortions her defenders twist themselves into. "She's not just hot, but she definitely is hot, while also being a vulnerable smol child. Also, criticizing her is sexist."
Lisa Taddeo in Airmail: "I think Olivia is smarter than she is beautiful, though she is unquestionably beautiful. I think Olivia is able to write something beautiful overnight and not a lot of people can do that, and her intrigue and wisdom are amplified, in my opinion, by how very young she still is. Her prose is never boring, even when it’s precious, and when I look at her I see a little girl, like my daughter, like myself, like us all, which is what she actually still was when all these older, powerful men navigated her, and, through that, she learned how to navigate them, and the world, in a way that I think has gravitas. But mostly I think the attempted patriarchal mass murder of this woman’s career and her personhood is a freaksome lynching the likes of which we will look back upon with a dazed compunction."

“The attempted patriarchal mass murder of this woman’s career” is an interesting way to describe a bunch of underpaid/out-of-work, mostly women journalists expressing disgust with the unprofessional behavior of every person in the whole awful affair, who have been and continue to be rewarded for it

Unhinged to describe the criticism of her journalistic ethics as a "freaksome lynching" when she has not denied any of the allegations and admits to most of them in her book.

"I see a little girl."

Nuzzi is a full-grown woman. If she were a man she would be derided for the fool she is without a moment's guilt. Her actions will lead to the deaths of children.

This is infantilism doesn't change that.

A weird thing I found out recently is that sleep is vital to my writing routine. It's similar to how you need to sleep before the next workout.

8. Maybe instead of making assumptions and going off feelings and vibes, listen to and trust the people who spend over 12 hours a day speaking to these people, keeping track of the data, the reach, and who understand why this is happening.

Yeah. Sometimes, behind all the bellowing and bluster and fluency in social justice verbiage, you might observe a person’s behavior and realize their vision of justice is just “When is it my turn at the top? When is it my turn to do the violence?”

Having seen the abysmal essay and good feedback, anyone defending firing the GA over this is a blatant bigot. Not only is there open transphobia, but TPUSA has proven that their ideology cannot withstand a modicum of scholarly scrutiny. Reactionaries cannot "debate." They're ignoramuses
