Really excellent essay on an important (if dark) new book from @sarahweinman.com. Like half my comments in @mldavies.bsky.social's draft were "jesus christ i can't believe he said that in public."
Sarah Weinman's excellent new book, Without Consent, chronicles the relationship at the center of the sensationalized 1970s trial and its impact on the long—and alarmingly recent—fight to criminalize spousal rape.

media coverage of this is already as pathetic as you might expect, usually failing to mention:
the FCC has no authority over the UK's BBC
the scandal was created by right wing media
the year-old BBC edits fall outside limits of UK defamation law
PBC, NPR never aired the documentary

Trump's censor in chief at the FCC, Brendan Carr, just sent a letter to the heads of BBC, NPR and PBS informing them he's launching a "news distortion" probe into the BBC's editing of a documentary on Trump's Jan. 6 activities.

first "piggy" now this ... good to know I can still be shocked by Trump.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
