Clarification: when Aaronson quotes Gur to say that Kristof is "feigning that he can’t see the water," that line is a callback to an earlier (unquoted by Aaronson) sentence in Gur's original post: "Fish don't notice the water."
It’s true, this distracts from the real atrocities
>a man who I praised fulsomely in a blog post 20 years ago, for his coverage of the genocide in Darfur
But apparently don't care for him when the genocide hits closer to home.
