It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

Seems like if you're going to make a national story out of Hasan Piker, who campaigned a few times with the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, saying Israel causes antisemitism, you should also make a national story out of the favorite intellectual of the US Vice President supporting Hitler.

The pundit view of the world is skewed by many things, one of which is a refusal/inability to understand geographic spaces that exist outside their own neighborhoods. It's all based on stereotypes and conjecture—even when they go to other places, and their columns are essentially bad travel writing.

I don't like having to do this, but I have to. This is not what happened. What happened was that a handful of scholars tried to legitimate an ahistorical argument and were criticized because of it. They then spent a year engaging in abject sophistry and caricaturing their critics. They still lost.
Just after the 5-4 decision in Trump v. Barbara earlier this year, a concerted social-media push cast a small group of originalist scholars as arch-villains for “normalizing” the view taken by three of the justices—namely, that the Constitution does not require a policy of universal birthright citizenship. For some, universal birthright citizenship is so sacrosanct that any disagreement or debate is unacceptable. The only reason the question was remotely in doubt was that originalists sold their methodology for partisan gain.
