That was his characterization in the play that I think was somewhat borne out irl This man who is just utterly without shame He's convinced enough of his own intelligence he feels he has nothing to prove and is fine with the world knowing he's a shitheel

I mean *he admitted* the story of ripping off Franklin and Wilkins' work *in his own memoir* He tells it like a funny story, "Aren't I a little rascal"

Like Jon Stewart's bit about George Bush's laugh, it's not even the maniacal supervillain laugh, it's the snotty chuckle of the two-bit crook in a movie "Heh heh heh... Sucks to be you I guess, sksksksk"

That's why Watson is notorious, after he became a Nobel Prize winner he just started saying whatever he wanted to everyone all the time because he'd already won so who cares "What do you remember most about working alongside Franklin?" "Her breasts"

My favorite quote from him - I swear this is a 100% direct quote - is "The worst thing about interviewing a fat person for a job is you already know you're not going to hire them but you still have to go through the whole interview" (He BROUGHT THIS UP, UNPROMPTED)

Something to keep in mind is that Franklin continued to do groundbreaking crystallography work throughout her too-short career, even after Watson and Crick used her data to build their structure. I honestly don't know how much she stressed about them.

(Granted, she had a background level of rage-inducing stress b/c of how she was treated in general as a woman in a technical field in the 1950s, so there's that.)

If we’re talking just about dumbness and not malice: My female shih tzu is far and away the least motivated/stereotypically-intelligent of the three pets we’ve had in the past 14 years, and has outlived both her twin brother and the family’s pet monkey of 32 years

Which is especially notable because while she’s had on-and-off hiccups during sleep over the past few years, her brother died of heart failure first, two years ago (and the monkey this past April)
