i think this is true to some extent but it's easy to underestimate the extent to which society does not really care about women or children despite many ostentatious declarations to the contrary
Yes there's a lot of denial, but I've seen it: when it snaps, it snaps hard.
"Powerful men covered up child sex abuse" isn't outlandish when you've seen that happen in church, boy scouts, school athletics, and every other social pillar of your conservative middle-class life in the past few decades.

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

Good to see restaurant product developers turning to food cultures that know what they're doing, as opposed to VC-funded, influencer-touted SM darlings whose products taste like obfuscated laboratory-produced sadness.

I will admit the thing that actually surprises me was when a child sex trafficker asks the writer “how do Ieverage the involvement of the guy who may be president in my child sex trafficking” and the writer gives advice, rather than “I should probably tell someone about this.”

Remember how Elon said that Trump was in the Epstein files and that’s why he won’t let them be released and he apparently knew all about that but then decided to be friends with Trump again a week later so he just deleted that tweet and doesn’t mention it and no one regards that as a bit of an issue
