I will no doubt read and enjoy all your very good Nuzzi jokes, but I also want to say earnestly, so many of us (myself included) are on the verge of being pushed out of this industry and it's genuinely so dispiriting to see the worst among us, ethics-wise, get such preferential treatment.

The hollowness of Hollywood’s rich people stories
TV and film of the moment aren't going to galvanize anyone. But stories closer to home just might.

Fatphobia goes hand in hand with transphobia and is rampant even in otherwise progressive spaces because it makes people feel a sense of control to police their own and other people's bodies. It is social poison and we will never eliminate transphobia without eliminating anti-fatness.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Jasmine Crockett is a Congresswoman, so she'll get it even worse. And she's Black, so she'll get it even worse than *that*.
I obviously can't speak for her, but I know I personally wouldn't care so much about my appearance in court if it wasn't dissected so much.

You'll ignore this, but every time you tweet angrily about crap like that Nuzzi piece you're confirming NYT editors' intuitions/incentivizing more of it. The entire intellectual/journo model here is, "Does this person get people angry? Yes? OK they're provocative/get talked about. Write about her."

this is an exaggerated version of something I've encountered a lot talking to other men about #MeToo stuff; they could imagine themselves as the accused man (and thus, in their heads, as the 'wrongly' accused man) but not as the victim of abuse.

one of the other things that class difference allows abusers to do is convince themselves that a) this would happen to the girls anyway, b) that they're actually doing them a favor, c) to be cheap as fuck about the whole thing and get off on that too.

one of the underlying factors in all the Epstein stuff is that his correspondents - even the ones who likely did not participate in abuse themselves - are completely incapable of imagining his victims as people. he is real to them, the girls aren't.
I sometimes feel like they don’t want to end poverty or reduce inequality because they believe they’re entitled to a class of people they can prey upon
