wait, wait. that's basically the bootcamp level of education, no?

he's the very model of a modern crypto-douchebag.

jaysus, mary, joseph and the wee donkey. (ESPECIALLY the wee donkey.)

this is such a sad slop. i wouldn't guess it's yegge, it's so far from his style when he used to write himself.

fwiw i was mostly annoyed by the “his wife is doing what” in the comment i was answering directly – going after him just because of his wife would be like going after varoufakis just because his wife is supposedly the heroine of blur's “common people”.

and i happily agree that doctorow could dispense with his privilege, tone down the smugness and try for less shallow takes once in a while.

(and i certainly hope that there's no need to explain basic organic chemistry here, so please do not use the “the difference is just a methyl group” argument)

also: what in “don't medicalise gobshittery” is unclear?

whoever it was, i clicked the arrow down too, so that person didn't feel so alone.
