For well over a decade now, the Republican Party has been less about using state capacity to enforce bigotry than using the power of the state to *crowdsource* bigotry, to make life harder and less livable for disfavoured groups. Make bigotry less shameful, make bigots openly proud of their bigotry.

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

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.

A couple decades into my career, it has never once failed me that a person describing others in a community or team as “non-technical” is a reliable indicator that they fundamentally do not understand how technology is created. There’s no such thing as a “non-technical” person.

“At the root of snobbery is a lack of imagination and confidence about how to decide who in the world is valuable. The snob isn’t wrong in the sense that there are better and worse sort of people around. They're just brutally misguided in how the superior individuals can be identified.”
