The answer to a question no one asked
Pinned
Favorite soap-boxes:
-the #VastUrsineConspiracy (obviously)
-Martha Washington Was Complete Trash
-many “greatest books” are actually of the genre Dick Lit. Here is what that is and why it is Not Great(est)
-WWI: Did You Know/My Many Feelings
-Animals who owe me money/reparations

First example of this I remember was how Henry Hyde, while leading the impeachment of Clinton, dismissed his own past affair as a "youthful indiscretion." He was in his 40s when it happened.
It's only gotten worse since then.

Wild that someone can be in their 30s, have a massive book deal, a full-fledged journalism career, and live in Malibu or some sht, and people will talk about them like "oh, but they're so YOUNG, can they really be responsible for their behavior when there were OTHER PEOPLE around??" JFC.

And let's be clear: "minority" kids get treated like adults all the time. And they're ACTUAL CHILDREN. We see stories like this all the time!

If it hasn't been said, I'll say it: No woman of color would ever be defended in this "she's just a smol bean" fashion & many Black, Latina, Asian & Indigenous women have had their lives & careers destroyed for nothing, or for far, far less. Same goes for trans women. These are just fucking facts.
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."

I used to work in juvenile detention. Population was heavily skewed in terms of race and class (and gender). This "the 32yo grown-ass woman is so young!" is really setting me off bc I am thinking about so many of the kids I worked with who did NOT need to be in juvy and [screaming]

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.

It would've been both higher quality and cheaper to give a camcorder to a teenager and had them film their family for a few hours than whatever this slop is

Olivia Nuzzi is 32. I cannot stand it when bad actors and their bad-faith defenders pretend that *actual adults* are somehow "too young" to be responsible for their actions. And let's be honest about who gets handed the "oh, they're so young!" card: whiteness and class (at minimum) are def at play.

I cannot possibly hope to convey how far from hinged this attempted defense of Nuzzi in Graydon Carter's newsletter is
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.

OK so back when I was a college freshman a guy was wandering around the dorm, on the phone, talking to his GF from home who was dumping him and begging her not to do so. He was a complete tool and I should have yelled "DO IT GIRL, YOU'RE RIGHT" or something.
I read this somewhere: if someone is on speaker in public, just jump in. you are part of the conversation now.
Nothing makes them go off speaker quicker.

One thing about the current SCOTUS that they try to retain the intellectual patina for their decisions when in reality they're just the most basal, partisan, power politics decisions imaginable. There is no intellectual foundation there, just post hoc rationalizing--an intellectual dead end.

The current SCOTUS majority is a bunch of sophists who like to dismiss evidence in favor of hypotheticals. They are spending enormous political capital trying to empower a guy that tried to overthrow the US government. If any good comes of this, hopefully it will radicalize people about SCOTUS.
The conservative justices have their talking point -- what if Congress turned every department into a multimember commission -- and it is totally absurd considering that has never happened under the existing law.
