I'm a clumsy oaf and idiot. Stripping the bed last Sunday to wash the sheets, I pulled too hard (or not hard enough) on the bedding I had too tightly tucked. The bedding resisted. My bare feet flew out from under me. I rose up and came down hard on my back. My thud and curse were heard throughout the house. Finally went to the doctor today, as I hobble and groan still. Who knew that socks could be such torture? CT scan showed compression fracture in my L3 and other stuff. Age and stupidity.

This gets perilously close to sanewashing incels, blaming successful women for screwed-up, retrograde, uneducated male anger. "Romantic pessimism pervades the manosphere."

The Times' dismissal of "identify politics" is the northern-white-liberal equivalent of Republicans calling @KamalaHarris the DEI candidate. She is the target of blatant racism, which The Times still refuses to name. Instead, it engages in this incipient racism: telling the Black woman to shush.
