how did she get caught?
She didn’t get “caught,” Chris Rufo is lying and the NYT just ran with it.
Her big mistake was noting the works she was stealing from right inside the text. She even lists the details of the publications in a big list in the back! The real mystery is how she got away with so long.

I’ve not been following any of this in detail.
So she quoted some passages and cited them and derposphere is calling that plagiarism?

“Much of what seemed modern and alluring about Los Angeles now seems terribly shortsighted and ugly,” the story said. “The ethnic patchwork appears to be a map of bunkered enclaves. Its center cannot hold because the city doesn’t have one.”
LA - perpetually on the road to hell.
My immediate thought was that I bet a higher percentage of my rich white neighbors would say that LA is hell because they have to see homeless people and hear about crime than would actual homeless people and victims of crime.

Forecast is 20C/68F and raining for Christmas Day tomorrow here in Adelaide. Pretty unusual. The vast majority of the Christmases I can remember have been hot as balls. Record coldest Christmas Day was 17.4C in 1922. Record high was 42C/108F.

It’s going to be 60F here in Ohio for Christmas. About 25F higher than average. I know people golfing today. Last year at this time it was around 0F.
