pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

I strongly recommend everyone do research sometimes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯.
Look something up on Wikipedia. Go to the little citation. Follow it. Read the article it's referencing. Follow links to the original interview. Read the paper written by the interviewee
It genuinely makes you appreciate journalism

To do that, it’s not important that people be disabused of their belief that they head to the streets bc it will make the powerful listen. There is really no value in scolding people in advance to take some other kind of action (always unspecified!) bc protest won’t do the thing they hope it will

protests, especially iterative ones, seize public space to: reveal the balance of forces, upend the “distribution of the sensible,” give people the affective charge of being with others in a new way, affirming they are not alone, and help people start to formulate the question: what’s next?

re: No King’s Day discourse I have two main things: (1) protests work but not how people think (ie, as a way to get someone in power to “do something”); and (2) it is not at all important that the people mobilizing in protest, especially if they are new to the game, know that
