Laughing so hard at this the dogs are sitting side-by-side staring at me.

This is genius.

You were responding to a person saying he never went to jail.

He was never "cancelled." In fact, he still makes big money while displaying more horrific judgment than ever — having made the leap from sex pest to torture apologist.

I suspect the phrase "no material consequences" is focused on the beatdown he never got and the jail time he didn't do.

Does the New Yorker no longer have editors? You don't "meet the bar." You clear the bar. There's a physical metaphor at work here, and it involves jumping over something.

This is what happens when writers don't read.

P.S. — The answer to your question is No.

Or at least they think it does. Or will pretend it does. And assume the Roberts Court will back them up.

It really is a horrifically perverse irony of this invasion that the communities that have borne the worst of the Russian campaigns of utter massacre and destruction have been those that ~15 years ago were among the most Russophile communities in Ukraine.
