TIL that Gwyneth Paltrow is not just a harmless grifter (arstechnica.com)

I never went as far as to defend Gwyneth Paltrow, but after her Hot Ones appearance I created a post (which I will link in the comments) where I suggested that she's done no more harm than male grifters and that the dislike of her as a person was primarily due to misogyny. That's before I learned about her promotion of these unproven "vampire facials". Now an unlicensed clinic performing this procedure has given at least three women HIV. You guys were right and I was wrong.

Just reply to the people you were talking to and apologize. Maybe edit any comments where you said something incorrect and put the mea culpa there. I often do that if I get something wrong.

Lot of commenters in the original post. Guess I was lazy. Also half of them probably blocked me.

It'd be slick if editing a post notified commenters on that post, though I suppose it could be abused.
