I think everyone should rewatch Spotlight because it actually makes some great points about papers with national reach deciding to ignore child sexual abuse in their backyard for 20 years and leaving it to the local weeklies

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.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Being a conservative woman isn't worth it. There's not enough money. There's not enough fame. At the end of the line you'll be saying "actually it's ephebophelia" while your 14-year-old daughter watches and your last real hair follicle withers away in a pool of bleach.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

They have no idea how many people are going to use this to try and make porn.
In fact, I’d say that’s what the majority of users will do.

Just what Disney+ was missing: "gen-AI short-form user-generated content." I'm sure that's going to go quite well, and will last about as long as it takes for someone to create a porno starring the Beast and Aladdin.
Disney+ to Allow User-Generated Content Via AI
Disney CEO Bob Iger hinted at "productive conversations" with unnamed AI companies that would protect IP but add new features to the studio's flagship streaming service.

Seeing people using diet culture lingo when talking about brain chemistry.
Trying to “control” your dopamine to “manage a social media addiction” isn’t based in science. It’s religious bs that views mental illness and neurodiversity moral failing.
This is how you fall down the pipeline, guys.

I keep telling this story.
Imagine a vast orchard, bequeathed to the Boomers by their parents.
They spend their working lives tending it, growing it, selling the apples and cider. They show it to their kids, and they say, "It'll be up to you to keep this going when I retire."

Talk about robbing the future from a generation.
The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old.
Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

Honestly Dems have no fucking excuse for tolerating transphobia, like none at all, “you creepy fuck, why are you obsessed with the genitalia of minors” is RIGHT FUCKING THERE
When you read these Epstein emails, you start to understand why so many prominent conservatives are obsessed with checking the genitals of children. It's a big thing for them!

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...
