With pieces like this, sometimes I wish we could talk to the author's current and ex-partners and fellow employees. I suspect that we'd find a corelation between these authors' personal behavior and their assignment of blame elsewhere on public matters.

I hate that I guessed that this was written by a cis gay man when I saw it and I was correct. That it's Andrew Sullivan, the most cis gay man, confirms that I was correct in coming here instead of clicking through.

Greek vase painting is right out though. Not worth the mud it's painted on. Or something.
It's always wild to me to see this take on Greek statues when the art historian responsible for many of the modern ideas about Greek art was an 18th century gay man (Winckelmann) and aren't correct!

I don't want to think about what he'd do for a job once we're all put into internment camps. Probably say it was necessary but that the government needs to use more sheep dip for our lice.

Are we absolutely sure it wasn't MI6?

Dude couldn't even defect to the USSR right

Sometimes when I can tell a person is trying to talk about the JFK assassination I start fact dumping about the Garfield assassination and won't stop, no matter what they try to do.

Wait you were there?

But they *weren't* good at their jobs. It was mostly catching other nations off guard and lots of methamphetamines. Leadership was filled with the same kinds of grifters as now. They failed b/c they were incompetent & constantly having to find scapegoats. The clothes were just better designed.

*cues up the Be Steadwell song about gay sex*

Honestly it feels counterrevolutionary to be too sad about the fascism to have gay sex. We have got to get our morale up.

Oh God, this. So many dudes over 40 insisting that they should be able to come to the under-35 kink events and called it ageism. "But they don't come to the all-ages parties!" Gee, I wonder why, dude.

Huzzah, we are in agreement

I definitely did not get that from what you said :-/

It was quite the experience to tell my "small government" parents about all the things the EPA has done in our area, having seen the documents myself. All kinds of remediation they were unaware of.

Oh sorry, I meant, dang, this was a fortuitous time for me to visit bsky again after a while away

What a time to come back to bsky

I feel... Honored?

As soon as I saw the article I immediately came here. Imagine being such an uninteresting columnist as PP is that the only way people will read your stuff is if you keep going after the same 0.5% of the US population, over and over again.

Agreed, I hope the OP listens to this advice.

Yeah, I was initially concerned that this was an acquaintance of mine but luckily the ages don't match. It is unfortunately a very real kind of person

They're officially removing it completely on January 24th

I'm sure it's spending time for this kind of thing that bioethicists go to school for. /s

I got to the part where he would repeatedly call her to wake her up and it went straight to "throw away the whole man."

The Same Extremists Target Both Muslims and Jews Far-right extremists shifted their online hate from Muslims to Jews in 2017, and offline hate followed the same trends

"Contemporary discourse often pits Muslims & Jews against one another. But our research demonstrates that a large amount of seemingly disconnected hateful rhetoric about both—at least in 2017—originated from the same far-right extremist communities" | The Same Extremists Target Both Muslims and Jews

I'm so sorry for your loss. 💜

It's also interesting seeing how Yaz and 13 *didn't* touch until 13 started regenerating.
