      The New York Times is a bottom of the barrel rag at this point. I blame Transphobia Brainrot Syndrome (TBS), which is where people become so obsessed with taking down trans people that their brains leak out their ears.

    I felt both the Wired article and the Behind the Bastards episodes did a better job on the topic of the Zizians than this NYT piece

    Behind the Bastards has two great episodes about the Zizinians. Title had something to do with Harry Potter.
