I was operating blissfully free of the knowledge that Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas is a long-time, well-known porn addict, but thanks to @jaywillis.net, that little factoid is now lodged in my head.

No offence intended but "factoid" means "a piece of information that becomes accepted as a fact even though it is not actually true, or an invented fact believed to be true because it appears in print." What you've described is a "factlet". I'll show myself out
It seems our more modern horrors have bumped some of the previous horrors out of my memory banks. One can only hold so many horrors in one's mind at once.
Oh come on man. Must every porn enjoyer become porn addict now? I bet the fellas at the fraternities that didn’t want him would have loved access to his collection.
‘one woman recalled Thomas carrying sexually explicit magazines “in the back pocket of the overalls he always wore,”’…. TBH, this is the only remotely charming thing I’ve ever read about Clarence Thomas…
oh shit now I remember. they talked about that dude in the news! when I was fifteen! I had to wait like three years to find out what that guy's deal was from Internet

Behind the Bastards @iwriteok.bsky.social did a multi part series on him. It's so much worse than most people know.
All of the episodes of the series are on YouTube btw - https://youtu.be/y6Ks-RN8zOI?si=B998QfoKGKHYe014
I think he sings "Use Me" by Bill Withers to himself all the time.
I'd practice absentence.
