to be clear, I agree with SSC that Kelsey did markedly better at covering COVID-19 than most of her peers https://slatestarscratchpad.tumblr.com/post/614310648181145600/shlevy-urpriest-shlevy-relevant-careers … but *shrug* she still kept quiet about her true level of concern because, according to her, she might jeopardize her semblance of ~reasonableness~

do I need to explain why it's a bad idea to work as a reporter if you're highly sensitive to public criticism? or is this also my responsibility, I need to be ~nicer~ so that soft little Kelsey can be protected from her own career choices? jfc

"I didn't want to sound alarmist. I didn't want to step out ahead of public health officials, who were still telling us that the risk was low." https://twitter.com/KelseyTuoc/status/1243301679228841985 … is that also the reason for milquetoast "maybe consider DIY ones"? ffs c'mon

most of y'all don't like seeing me be mean. you like my sweeter side. you like when I joke about bunnies, blah blah blah. but you know what? fuck off all the way to hell, I cannot and will not always be polite because optics are not my primary concern
