I'm not surprised based on his body of work but David Marchese outs himself as a fascist sympathizer despite being unable to define fascism. He clearly read nothing about the book before interviewing Klein and Taylor. "Don't you think Elon just rightly makes us excited about going to SPACE?" NYT 👎

Enes Canter saying he's here to defend womens sports is a fascinating change from when he was in the NBA and couldn't defend anything

If this is true it belies a breathtaking disconnect from contemporary American politics on the part of these Democrats. And why are we teaming up with reactionary centrist Jonathan Haidt? Kick that guy into the sun.

When the huge report on trans healthcare commissioned by the right-wing Utah legislature was released, finding that such care is effective and safe, did the New York Times cover it? Not that I can find. Certainly not in a highlighted glowing profile.

Azeen's coverage included the sympathetic profile of Jamie Reed, the so-called whistleblower who lied about healthcare for trans youth in Missouri and who Azeen's own reporting uncovered as a liar, although Azeen massively downplayed the lying. Journalistic malpractice.

I believe, not without evidence, that leadership at the New York Times made deliberate editorial decisions to bolster transphobic hand-wringing in an effort to broaden its market reach, temper its liberal reputation, and curry favor with the current administration. These numbers lend credence.

Actually politics doesn't have to work like this. When asked about supporting genital mutation surgeries for minors say "of course not. The problem is, such surgeries are actually only performed on intersex infants with disastrous effects. Please ask every republican why they support that."

Legacy journalism's obsession with both-sidesing ironically helped pave the way for the demolition of its flagship broadcast program. And the NYT's own coverage of it is still posturing the both sides thing here and there.

I admire Scott in some ways, but I also see from this interview how an old-school journalistic obsession with "both sides" helped pave the way for his (still unjust) termination. He was so naive giving Ellison and Weiss the benefit of the doubt, for example. Didn't even know who Weiss was 😂

Whatever the aftermath to this period looks like, I hope we are able to look back and reckon with the cancerous growth of elite delusion and the conditions that permitted it to metastasize.

You can say anything you want about how much you support queer kids, but if you vote for politicians who oppose lgbtq rights and dignity, those queer kids know you're not on their side. The second most important way to support them according to them is through your vote.

"Originalism for thee but not for me and vice versa whenever I need it." Are these guys aware of the absolute hypocrisy of their selective insistence on originalism or have they drunk their own koolaid enough to not even realize?

This is perhaps the most deranged thing I've ever seen a major, respected news organization do: Lie about the AMA's position on gender-affirming care, and when the AMA issues a statement correcting it, the NYT accuses the *AMA* of lying about *their own position*

I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran). The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

The entire anti-trans care grift is built in treating the usual way medicine works as if it's a scandal. Therapists figure out if a kid is trans the same way they figure out if they're depressed. They ask questions, maybe using a formal scale to quantify how kids compare to similar kids.
