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.

Paramount+ has a 7-day free trial. Sign up, then watch the South Park episode. Pick Stephen Colbert when prompted for recommendations. Cancel before 7 days. For the reason, write: “Canceling bootlickers who stifle speech for money.” 💪

Watch @timmiller.bsky.social on the Thiel/Douthat interview: "Do you want the human race to endure, Peter Thiel? It seems like basically the answer is no, but he doesn't want to say it. So he comes around to yes after 30 seconds. This is the man that set the vice president in place."

Incredible to see Marc Andreesseen, master of the universe elite thinker w/billions under management, cite Shellenberger & Benz as reliable sources.
If he had all this inside visibility into the rise of a “”censorship edifice”” over “12 yrs”…why didn’t he say anything?
