Just noting that this kind of collective reaction does not happen in a void of knowledge, or at least suspicion. There is no credible "This is a frameup" argument to be made.

A letter signed by more than 50 former staffers of Rep. Eric Swalwell described recent allegations of sexual assault and misconduct against him as “serious” and “credible,” while demanding he resign from Congress and drop his bid for California governor. https://cnn.it/47Vxjx2

Free advice to the opposition: It's very important that the GOP send the warm, likable, super-relatable JD Vance out on a national tour to campaign for MAGA in the midterms. He's got the touch!

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 12(source)

I'm not saying this approach is all bad or never necessary. But it is the default now, and so it is losing any ability to surprise except when it is in expert hands.

I will hand a Peabody Award to anybody who writes a streaming limited series without flashbacks, jumpbacks after an in medias res opening, or parallel timelines.

"I am suspect about it." Jesus or @bcdreyer.social, take the wheel!

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 11(source)

So all of the women, and all of their families, and all of their friends, and all of the text messages and records that have been produced, and all of the reporters who investigated it, are part of a coordinated op that has been months in the making? Okay, you go with that.

Scary and instructive thread.

I recently tried to buy a product from a company that clearly uses a lot of AI. The experience included them not sending my order, randomly sending extra orders, and then falsely trying to lock me into a subscription I didn't request. It was a disaster.

Everyone saying "I'm suspicious about the timing" re Swalwell should pause to consider that if a MAGA op wanted to derail the Democrats in California, breaking this story a month from now--or right after the primary, if he won--would have been far more damaging. Not everything is a conspiracy.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 11(source)

A very strong thread about what good journalists do. I urge people to read the whole CNN story (linked earlier), not just the headline. A lot of people who are unwisely leaning into "I dunno, there's something fishy about this" might change their minds.

Take a look at the CNN sourcing and fact-checking on their Swalwell article. Look at how many extra people they contacted in order to corroborate claims. They viewed screenshots, called parents/husbands/friends/colleagues. They viewed TV footage and interviews, & more. Two things worth pointing out:

Congressman Eric Swalwell has released a new video saying that allegations of sexual violence against him are false. He also says that he has made mistakes in recent years, but that those mistakes are between him and his wife.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 11(source)

Sure, maybe dozens of people are lying, in perfect coordination. Or maybe one is.

I’m suspicious that something more nefarious is going on here.

I will say the same thing about Swalwell that I said about Platner: I don’t have a “guilt beyond a reasonable doubt” standard for supporting politicians. I don’t need to; I’m not a criminal court and, bizarrely, I’m not allowed to put people in prison.

I’m very proud of my wife for sharing the details she did. I’m disgusted by all of it. She found herself in one of those moments where she didn’t care what she lost if it helped one other person. The reality is the truth don’t care who tells it, but she told it. Love you @allysammarco.bsky.social

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 11(source)

I assume that Swalwell is currently on the phone being told exactly how the end of his political life is going to go and will exit either tonight or tomorrow. Longer than that and it's going to get much uglier for him.

You can't spell antisemite without met! But you also can't spell semite without met. So it's hard to know what to think.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 10(source)

Understood; my argument was not with you.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 10(source)

So to return to my point--which, if you reread it, was not "games are bad"--people whose PRIMARY growing-up narrative experience is with games sometimes struggle with other forms of narrative. You're free to disagree, but not to disqualify my experience of talking/listening to those people.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 10(source)

In a narrative game, you are largely enacting something rather than simply observing it. The dissonance btw you and your avatar may be interesting or may barely exist, but in either case it is materially different from the experience of entering a story over which you have no control or authorship.>

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialApr 10(source)

Historically, do most players consider themselves to be the default good guys in the games they’re playing? I seem to remember reading a great deal about how the choices players had to make in The Last of Us subverted that. Was the idea that there was something to subvert inaccurate?
