Can you.

“It’s so lit.” That’s exactly how I want my engagement to be described.

One day, history will recognize Adam Corolla as one of the true pioneers in the “angry white guys who can’t get a break because of everyone else” movement.  He’s been this way forever.

Sean Penn’s son sounds like what Larry the Cable Guy would say to invite you into his truck.

Looks like Tripp chose the wrong week for Assaultin’ Batteries.

Yep. Jezebel just let a stringer piss all over their relationship with The Atlantic and in return they got this... thing.

Damn. I miss OG Jezebel. So much.

This is like when Jezebel ambushed some actress doing a fluff press tour with questions about Harvey Weinstein and got pissy because she didn’t oblige them.

It’s ok: we all self-own from time to time. Today was just your turn. :-)

Bruh.

It’s not about his feelings, nobody gives a crap about his feelings. It’s about the lost opportunity for a much more interesting, informative article that could have happened if Walker had challenged him in a way that got a response.

This. It is really unprofessional to reach out for an interview with comments like that. I don’t blame the Atlantic for refusing to submit to an interview if all they had to go on was, “what is your fucking deal” etc.

“Hmmm. Misusing ICE is the only way I can get a boner.”

The problem is that I read Harron’s email and stop taking anything Harron has to say seriously. Harron may very well be right about Singal, but I will never know because I stopped listening.

May we assume that “What’s your fucking deal?” was not your first outreach? Why not present an earlier attempt - presuming you first contacted him and Atlantic with something like, “I am doing a piece on your various articles on trans issues. Can we sit down for an interview?” - which, perhaps went ignored, thus the…

Seriously, Jezebel Snark™️ is a great way to get clicks and lulz, but maybe not the best way to get a comment from someone? Just a thought?  

Did you really expect Singal or their reps to speak with you given the way you approached the matter?
