Even now, I’m not sure if this is a thing they actually believe—that there’s a microchip in my brain that activates when the Jewish Sauron desires something and compels me to provide it, whether it is antifa-branded chaos or, I dunno, lactose-free snacks—or if they know it’s a lie but just like it

@bcdreyer.social I was reading yet another cursed excerpt from the Nuzzi book, and wondered: a copyeditor celebrates when they edit something inspired or even just very well-crafted. What does a CE do when they flip a few pages and realize the work is a disaster, but they still have to do the work?
