Quinlan’s silly lawsuit raises some serious points

Haters going to hate. Those on the right who have been fat-shaming JB Pritzker reacted indignantly to news stories earlier this week about his weight loss aided by GLP-1 drugs -- it's not a story! ask him some tough questions. ericzorn.substack.com/i/216754718/...

Thanks Eric, I enjoyed the detail. I will say to every journalist as I have said to every elected official in my 30 years that a little humility and a sincere apology go a long, long way. Kudos to you and @neilsteinberg.bsky.social , who has publicly acknowledged he’s not perfect. 1/5
