My mother just sent me a photo of the baby Jesus from their nativity in the drawer with the silver because I always insisted that you don’t put Jesus in the nativity scene until he’s actually been born and they still do it that way 🥲

From an article about it
In his own statement on Monday, Lizza insisted he had done nothing untoward and said the New Yorker had erred in its decision. "I am dismayed that The New Yorker has decided to characterize a respectful relationship with a woman I dated as somehow inappropriate," Lizza said. "The New Yorker was unable to cite any company policy that was violated. I am sorry to my friends, workplace colleagues, and loved ones for any embarrassment this episode may cause. I love The New Yorker, my home for the last decade, and I have the highest regard for the people who work there. But this decision, which was made hastily and without a full investigation of the relevant facts, was a terrible mistake." That defiant response prompted another statement, this time from Wigdor LLP, a law firm representing Lizza's accuser. The firm, which has brought a number of sexual harassment and racial discrimination lawsuits against Fox News, disputed Lizza's assertions. "Although she desires to remain confidential and requests that her privacy be respected, in no way did Mr. Lizza's misconduct constitute a 'respectful relationship' as he has now tried to characterize it," Wigdor's statement said. "Our client reported Mr. Lizza's actions to ensure that he would be held accountable and in the hope that by coming forward she would help other potential victims."

And this was 2017, when Lizza got fired for sexual harassment
And she had done something similar for me when she helped me untangle myself from a messy situation at The New Yorker, where I worked for ten years.

Helen, by contrast, does what she does -- breaks the moral rules she does, sometimes with blatant sneering pride --precisely in order to do harm, to increase human suffering, to prove to herself that immorality and viciousness are inevitable (that sin is inevitable, to put it in a bad-Catholic formulation she might like), and to erase any hint that one could plausibly pursue compassion, empathy, reform, improvement, or gentleness -- these things being alien to her and thus sources of constant confusion and frustration, even anger. She can't reform -- how dare anyone suggest that any of us can? Fight, fume, and do harm until Jesus comes.

I just skimmed it and it looks like it’s Leah and Helen Andrews, one of the worst people in the world, and it’s Leah who is trying to keep things honest which is good.
Libresco Sargeant: Can we sit with that example for just a second? I've read the case. Andrews: Sure, I would be happy to. Please. Libresco Sargeant: What you're glossing as a pinup was multiple photos of completely naked women in close-up. The woman had sexist graffiti, and one of her male coworkers thrust his leg in between her legs. Is there a little bit of rowdiness to men? Yes. But I think it's actually unfair to men to sweep that kind of pervasive nudity and specific sexist language and physical grabbing as just part of broad male vices that we need more space for in the work force. And I don't think it's fair to characterize it as "she didn't like the pinups."

The court also blocked a GOP-drawn congressional districting map in the state in 2018 and rejected Republican-led efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The body, currently a 5-2 liberal majority, is expected to continue to deliver key rulings on national issues like voting rights in the coming years.
