Palestine should be free. Trans people should be protected. No one should go into debt to afford housing, healthcare, or an education. It is urgent that we prioritize addressing climate change. Billionaires should not exist. Our government is fascist.

None of these views are extreme.

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

"Instead of Columbus, we should celebrate all Italian women for being so hot." this is a genuine thought I had this morning. I'm sharing it as an act of contrition. please do not get mad at me. please do not become passionately enraged with your fiery tempers and strike me with a heavily-ringed hand

Norm Macdonald stunting on Bret Easton Ellis

Brett Easton Ellis saying Alice Munro is
overrated=Beatlemania saying The Beatles is overrated.
Not only can he not write, he can't read.
- Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 15, 2013
It is interesting to see Alice Munro, the writer's writer, criticized by @BretEastonEllis, the talentless hack's talentless hack.
- Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 17, 2013
I notice @BretEastonEllis describes himself as a writer in his twitter account. More of his brilliant satire.
- Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 17, 2013
Alice Munro is to literature what Lee lacocca is to automaking. @BretEastonEllis is to literature what Lee Iacocca is to literature.
- Norm Macdonald (@normmacdonald) October 17, 2013
@BretEastonEllis, a man who scribbles graffiti for a living has the temerity to call the greatest writer alive, overrated.
Unacceptable.

Nothing good I've ever written anything longer than tweet length got that way without an editor; my best work absolutely all transformed by an engaged editor offering the right pushback and asking the right questions. Anyone who says they do best without an editor needs them double.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
