- I have been doing investigative reporting on misconduct for years & it got harder and harder to do over time. Of course I blamed myself to an extent. But yeah, anyway, the plutocratic class & their minions destroyed the media & what remained formed up like Voltron to protect the worst of the worst.
- To give u an idea of how powerful men protect each other, remember Moira Donegan's "Shitty Men in Media" list? Here are former Paris Review Editor Lorin Stein (who got fired for being named), Michael Wolff, & Epstein discussing backing Stephen Eliott to supress MeToo www.justice.gov/epstein/file...
- I wrote about gawker v thiel a decade ago& said "seems real bad" (it was). then when metoo broke, so many shitty media & entertainment men were outed. like pushing mercury up a hill to do this work. Related: @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social worth reading on ALL of this www.garbageday.email/p/here-s-how...
- I hate every single thing about what is in the Epste*n files but it's one of the keys to understanding what so many of us, in so many fields, were up against. Still up against. The dumbest, awful, most craven people got together to defend their little world of mediocrity, bootlicking and abuse.
- so much of the scaffolding of society is about protecting the powerful from consequences & the mediocre from anything like an actual meritocracy (the dipshits always get to define merit, naturally). Anyway! I'm off to go make whistle kits with badasses. Because I'm still here. We're still here.Feb 3, 2026 22:59
