one thing to remember about The Atlantic hiring Jonathan Chait is that Chait said awful things about trans folks on Twitter, tagged Ed Yong, and became the only exception to Yong's personal rule about not arguing with people on the internet and/or punching down on them (13:15): youtu.be/ddy5uMdzZB8
