  2. RE: cosocial.ca/@mpjgregoire/11700

    This post of mine was somewhat disingenuous; I admit that I know who #RossDouthat is, and that he's opposed to Pres. Trump. Furthermore, he wrote a column on the 51st state to which I strongly objected. But, since I've seen notable hostility to him on Mastodon, I'm still interested in knowing specific examples of other columns he wrote to which people object.

  3. @dangillmor I rarely read columns from the #NYTimes, maybe a few times per year. If I may ask, what specifically did #RossDouthat write that was so objectionable? Was he a crazy Trump supporter?

  5. @virtuous_sloth #RossDouthat *is* a #conservative, by any definition that makes sense in an anglophone society. Is that relevant to his discussion with Mr. Gilroy?

    (It's very relevant when he discusses embryo selection here: youtu.be/YAJMnZ8QkmY?si=5dJUGU )

    In response to "Canada passed a bill meant to fix a technicality affecting a few dozen people, but accidentally gave >4 million people Canada citizenship by right."

    Great job, Ottawa.

  7. It is this peculiar cultural predicament -- the combination of disillusionment with stability, radicalization with stalemate, discontent and derangement with sterility and apathy -- that I keep calling decadence. ...as we usher out the 2010s, this decade of distrustful stability and prosperous despair, it has no rival as the presiding spirit of our age.
    -- Ross Douthat (NY Times (Dec 28, 2019))

  8. The #nytrimes needs content warnings. I was halfway through a poorly labeled opinion piece and thought "who is this idiot?" and of course had wandered into the #rossdouthat section. I don't mind them having a diversity of voices but please please label the crap so people can step around it.

  9. “Did Virginia Woolf ruin fiction?”
    #rossdouthat (probably)

  10. #RossDouthat is just... worthless. He's such a manbaby, whose entire worldview is predicated on not him liking things and calling that a societal problem. The #NYT smears itself with shit every time he has a column.

  11. @mick As #RossDouthat wrote in 2016, “If you dislike the religious right, wait till you meet the post-religious right.”

  12. I listened to a podcast interview with #PeterThiel on youtube.com/watch?v=vV7YgnPUxcU "#AI, #Mars and #Immortality: Are We Dreaming Big Enough? | Interesting Times with #RossDouthat"

    I never listened to #Thiel directly before. However, after this weird hour of thoughts, I doubt that he has a clue what the basic #philosophy of the #Catholic Church actually is (e.g., redemption by others vs. oneself).

    It seems to be the case that he's just a weird person who happen to take away over 15,850 average lifetime salaries(!) from our society to invest in very problematic stuff where a few #Billionaires profit from and certainly not the society or human race.

    Derived from that, you could argue, that he is a candidate for an #AntiChrist, not some (also problematic) girl who wants to save the planet. 🤷

  14. Gilroy: Fascists destroy communities... that's what Andor is about.

  15. I get that it’s totally juvenile, but in my head, I always call #RossDouthat “Ross Douche Hat.” And just often enough his columns remind me why. nytimes.com/2025/04/21/opinion

  16. As a heritage resident of #SiliconValley, I find that #Andreesen has a shockingly shallow & revisionist history of this region, plus a lot of disingenuousness. An absurd podcast interview with lots of dark holes & misappropriation. #RossDouthat #Opinion #NYTimes
