Go to the source and hear him say those sentences.
draper’s segment begins 18 minutes in. It’s an interesting interview, and the VP talk is a truly minor part.

She thinks queer is new.
How queer.

I knew I recognized the name. She’s also the one that published that transphobic article this summer in the Times The Far Right and Far Left Agree on One Thing: Women Don’t Count, so it’s especially moronic that she is language policing queer spaces. I see she also has one a few months ago arguing that we shouldn’t rely on lived experiences in people relating stories, so she’s just a extreme centrist troll as far as I can tell.
EDIT
And looking at her history I see she wrote one of my least favorite cultural commentary books from when I was younger in Pornified.

How is ‘queer’ less inclusive than other labels? I’d rather tell a cishet I’m queer than explain what ‘demisexual transfeminine nonbinary omnisexual with sapphic preferences’ means.

A few years ago these assholes were complaining about “too many letters and genders”, now they’re complaining about “erasure”, it has nothing to do with inclusion, they just don’t like queer people.

Yep. Goalpost moving is the TERFs favourite sport. As long as queer folks get hurt, they’ll say whatever they want.

That Sunak story should have at least been beneath the fold, even without the Pelosi assassination attempt. It’s an old story in the UK that has only become relevant again because he is PM.

The data:
methodology at the end.
eta I’ve changed the link to a paywall free version. Lots of things to argue about.
Did those election deniers win? Or were their so-called “wins” the result of stolen elections?
Since I’m not an election denier I’d say “Yes, assuming they’re still ahead when all the ballots are tallied, and no, unless there’s credible evidence of election tampering or fraud.” But those questions could be fun to use to taunt them between now and when they’re sworn in.

Too many ill informed people at the Times want to make their bones out of my bones.
