@ellievhall @Cinesnark @royalmusing This is the thing that drove me *crazy* in the aftermath of the Oprah interview when people were talking about “inconsistencies” in this part! Meghan was quite clear that she was contradicting what the palace had told reporters about them not *wanting* to give their kids titles

completely ignoring the context in which something happens is *not* science, especially when we're talking about something having to do with humans in society!!!! this argument pisses me off so much

I'm sorry to keep harping on this but Jesse has been the *primary source of information* for a lot of liberals on this issue for years. He presents himself as a neutral arbiter but he's openly admitting that he does not dedicate attention to restrictions on trans rights.

@CoreyRobin i don't know about your history with the book, but it seems pretty clear that the parents don't think that learning about the holocaust is important enough to expose their kids to unpleasant stuff. exact same thing has happened with maus for decades!

cultures that encourage megalomania and weird conservative pipelines are always going to lead to some bad outcomes, and more of these places should take responsibility for that

This is such a crazy read because it depicts a journalist doing things that only, like, a craven fictional journalist would do!

You just don’t get to say that this is neutral journalism, not advocacy, while simultaneously putting it up for an ASME public interest award. Really all I want is to hear someone high up at the times explain why this coverage is in the public interest!!

@ellievhall @royalmusing @Cinesnark Yeah, this was from when they were still a part of the palace pr apparatus and the statement only said they wouldn’t be calling him the earl of dumbarton. The “want him to have a normal life” part came from unnamed sources, and that is what Meghan disputed in the Oprah interview
