I feel like Chotiner has a path to getting this guy to say that reveling in certain other deaths is good actually and just needs to find the right list of deaths to revel in

Just a poster cynically saying that they would bring him back for the money because money and refusing to imagine that anyone would stand on their stated preferences. They said a bunch of insulting shit about nebula creators having no ethics and the drop being a cynical ploy to let this blow over.

I mean if he’s thinking we can redo the laws to solve SoCal and he’s not just lying then no, he has never heard of the Colorado river, much less Lake Powell

“You can have more water if you fix the laws” says foreign racist. I wish you had read up on the history of water law around here before this interview because that is easily the most ignorant things he’s said. Water in CA is a completely fucked topic and has been since before any of us were born.

I heard the phrase "pretty unanimously" used to summarize "7 for, 2 against" and I hate it. You're either unanimous or you're not.

I spent a year watching school administrators do their jobs—and interviewing the students most impacted. I spoke to @thecut.com in a long-form Q&A about what I saw. Mainly, a system designed to protect perpetrators and punish victims in each and every case.

The Reason Why Colleges Still Fail to Address Sexual Violence

The “Cornell Seven” case highlights what’s wrong with Trump’s Title IX rules — and how the system was always designed to fail.

Yeah it feels like the education is for the crowd of people defending the assaulters. They’re the ones who ignorantly assume a bunch of inherent good faith, who try to manifest a kind of rapist qualified immunity

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Not exactly how you meant it but the way you phrased it makes me wonder if he is talking about the intensity of reaction that he's getting? I remember finding out about the Raya reaction from her (now unlisted?) video and I'm not really interested in seeing the same type of video from him.

Then if you’re outside of city limits the paper maps were often broad suggestions and it was easier to just follow highway signs. Routing in rural areas required a different kind of landmark navigation so you better hope someone came equipped with that feature or it’s hours of map arguments for you

000

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

paper maps were dogshit. You had to convince everybody else about shared reality because spatial reasoning is hard, alternate route speed ups required local knowledge, my dad was doing a series of weird traffic experiments, it was worse in every way. You can still read maps but gps routing is magic

I see they scuttled away but for my part I’m sorry I egged on their ignorance. I got caught up in getting more ignorance out of them instead of just leaving it alone. I’m not actually this cynical about nebula creators and worker co ops but I didn’t show that at all. Thank you for commenting.

I mean rehabilitation from this creator seems damaging to her brand. Quiet Danskin-style exits from some, rebrands from others would be my expectation, followed by cross posting to test the waters bsky.app/profile/lola... Sorry walk out is ambiguous, i meant quiet exit (from some), not a strike

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

offloading morals in general deserves derision, sure, but I would not wish multiple rounds of Discourse on people. I assume the first sign of his return would be the collaborations that got pulled down silently going back up, not the announcement from nebula itself. That‘s money on the table.

You’re thinking of Tracey’s knees, Jamelle would go ass first Unless you mean watching other people do it would induce a Religious Bouie Experience so powerful he would drop to his knees then and there

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

“Moral Leaders” [sarcastically] sounds like further critique of the parasocial relationship but then “way stupider than I thought“ sounds like you were giving them the credit you‘re imagining others are? I would assume prominent co-owners would walk if he returned but I don‘t want to see it tested

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I’m imagining him expressing expertise but like “as a former rapist“ Cannot imagine where that goes next or even the idea that anyone could land that but like “former evil job person“ is context that is extremely useful, usually, and when it’s not disclosed it’s used as evidence for evil intent

we were all like "haha man that standup character that Louis C.K. plays sure is an awful dude, that's pretty funny" and he was like "who's playing what now?"

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

"protect" as the audience and collaborators are not allowed to share any reservations they have about not collaborating on or consuming his art anymore, or that your reasons have to be "correct" or you're harming his pursuit of art (e.g. "firing him" over this "seems bad").

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I got this idea from bsky.app/profile/magg...

020

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Does he get the same career if it's explicit from the beginning that it is part of his penance? Does he get the same set of colleagues? No one will know because he unilaterally decided that it was a need to know and neither his audience nor coworkers needed to know.

130

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

You imagine one way it could work because of what he did with his now-wife and his close relationships. You could imagine that if your art was sitting on top of an unspoken admission of guilt that the public will have a distributed serious reckoning about how they feel about your art upon hearing it

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I think if one is thinking about it in good faith like you then there's a few things: 1. Drug addiction and being the victim of grooming are not the same as perpetrating SA 2. The systemic lack of accountability means a road to redemption that happens retroactive to the disclosure is impossible

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

I’ve been mulling this thought over since I saw it; it’s not just the well-being, happiness, and potential, they also want to protect the pursuit of personal artistic fulfillment, as if not being able to make content is cruel and unusual punishment. bsky.app/profile/dela...

There is an odd catharsis in that moment of “oh this relationship [with my dad] is over.” When that moment arrived for me, the mourning could finally end and the lifting of that need for his respect really felt liberating. It’s so odd for A Relationship That I Grieved to resolve itself by ending.

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

News flash how you feel about someone else’s sexual assault is not actually your business. Your feelings are secondary to the perpetrator’s. Please, your role in the public persona of that perpetrator, not your business. Feel things? No. feels like it’s maybe not your business to post at all?

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

That thought is perhaps why you see his colleagues talking about their personal roles and how they feel instead of the case itself?

Maybe wish is the more correct verb

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I want this to catalyze systemic improvements; a process for justice instead of a slap on the wrist, an education for men that includes the consequences so it’s not a bunch of shitheads trying to manifest rapist qualified immunity, transparency that doesn’t require a decade in court.

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

It's terrible that the way it works is that he gets to harm someone and his acts get swept under the rug. Then he's just freely allowed a platform without any sort of justice and they have to fight for a decade to pull the rug up? How is anyone supposed to engage in good faith with this?

Jorge Medina @jorgemedina.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Feels like it's also repeated institutional failure. Nobody taught or stopped him. He wasn't given a restorative or rehabilitative path, just suspended for <reads notes> a month!? Slap on the wrist shit, don't worry about it bro. Then it's spat out 2 decades later after a decade of court filings.

The correct call was kicking the creep out but that literally was not an option somehow? I didn’t have the pull to make it happen but at least I stopped him and he didn’t try again.
