In the many comments on this and in the original, I don’t find a single link to the source.
I see a Reddit noting it’s a conversation between Schumer & Bret Stephens but even a direct quote doesn’t easily turn up in a NYT search.

Accelerationism but through the worst formula: stupidity x cruelty
A prime example:
“Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear safety workers but can’t figure out how to reach them”

I had a riff, related to this, in my latest Critics’ Table piece for CULTURED.
Pippa Garner talked about how taking estrogen made her move from “sexuality to sensuality.” Conversely these tech & MAGA bros are ironically also deep into gender-affirming care.

Luigi is just a block or two up from the decent ramen at Japan Village in Industry City & missed the very good Astrid Dick show at Art Cake by a couple weeks. If only the inmates could take walks. The views from on top of Sunset Park are hard to beat.

The other day, I saw a video of the musician Joni Mitchell painting with a quote from the painter Joan Mitchell. Joan Mitchell coincidentally was a semi-professional figure skater before becoming a painter. Different people but names, painting & skating all create understandable confusion.
