Hounding the president of Harvard out of a job because you think she's a DEI hire is one thing, but going after a Billionaire's wife? How dare these journalists! What big bullies.

Bonus downplaying of EA's faults. He of course phrases the Bostrom affair as someone being "accused" of sending a racist email, as if there were any question as to who sent it, or if it was racist. And acts like it's not just the cherry on top of a lifetime of Bostrom's work.

The first section made sense. I nodded a few times. The second section made me grimace a few times. “Criticize a leftist and we’ll go after your family” really misses the general point that the whole “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones” coverage really emphasized. When the third section mentioned EA I immediately flipped back to the comments both prepared to rip OP a new one and hoping I was in sneerclub. I am so thankful I was in sneerclub because fuck is this article dumb as shit.
