Incase anyone is wondering how serial idiot Noah Smith is, he managed to cock up a flight transfer by leaving the airside part of the airport. And apparently it's Heathrow's fault

In slightly niche news, someone vaguely prominent is claiming Chimerism to explain some DNA test anomalies.
I remember Tyler Hamilton using it as a defence, and it was ridiculous then.....

I am of the firm opinion that “gender-critical” transphobia is fascism. And not just “fascism adjacent” or “fascist enabling” but fascism front & centre.
Owning slaves, invading other peoples’ countries and starving people to death are not “contentious”, they are fascism.

It's important to keep pointing this out about the many people who have gone the same way. Too often we suggest or imply that the trans moral panic merely allowed these people to be who they always were. Not true. We're seeing a process of *radicalisation*. We can't fix things unless we name them.
Transphobia is a pipeline to the far right. An example:
Suzanne Moore used to be a left wing columnist at the Guardian.
Then came the anti-trans panic. Despite the Guardian also promoting it, it wasn’t enough & she left.
Moore is now complaining about wokeness over the Irish famine & colonialism.

Suzanne Moore, who would rather be locked up than pay her BBC licence fee because the BBC is too nice to trans people for her liking.

twitter being bought and turned into a propaganda machine for fascism, which is directly pumped into every journalist in the world's brain, is one of the worst things to happen in the last few years. we might not survive it.

Honestly, the language deployed in what Sunder quotes is unhinged.

This latest defeat may exemplify a broader ecosystem/bubble problem for the right: so used now to preaching to the converted in media outlets and online that it struggles to understand how this language (the NT as run by or capitulating to "woke terrorists") might be received by the median member
