Two possibilities:

Do you really think I give a shit? I don’t even like Pete Buttigieg. I don’t want him to be president. I just want a tiny slice of Twitterdom to wake up and realize that (a) they are misanthropic assholes and (b) they aren’t moving the needle on anything in the real world. So few people care about, or even understand,

Because he has a fucking important job and isn’t on the internet all goddamn day like we are.

“We just want to know why you didn’t, and why it took you so long to figure it out.”

Uh... yeah, that’s actually an acceptable response in my book. At the time, in early 2015, there was a difference between “All Lives Matter” and “all lives matter”, a distinction that has since been erased by conservative chuds relentlessly using the phrase in bad faith. The man was speaking to an audience in Indiana,

I’m glad my mother won’t read this article and call me to tell me she read something about leggins. Anyone else struggle with that?

thats what they used to say about Flappers and their silk stockings and later on about nylon pantyhose. The day we stop making women the moral gatekeepers of men is the day we wont need feminism anymore. BTW in my grandmothers day they also wore “leggings”, thick hand knitted stockings designed to keep your leggs and

Woman says some not nice things in her early twenties, achieves incredible success by doing and saying important things, and now the people who didn’t like her in her early twenties want everyone to know what a bitch she was.

Somehow journalists survived decades without using it and still managed to break the Watergate story, tank McCarthyism and leak the Pentagon Papers. I think reporters using it to take down C-List Twitter celebrities can manage to get along without it.

Trashing your co-workers on the company intranet is bad. You know what’s worse? Running this piece. Good lord. She personally insulted people. You gave the entire world a bookmark they can throw at her anytime she writes something someone doesn't like. Forever.

You can’t send a couple mean emails without an article being written about it? Bald-freak? Overweight fake-blonde? Yeesh. That is some neutron bomb level destruction.

Lol, i put this in my MS Word...4550 words. 17 pages. While in general I enjoy the GMG sites, this may be why no one wants to buy this group. This was a “special procects desk” assignment. Like “Spotlight” and exposing the child sex abuse. Only this time for Brooklyn hipster jealous gossip? 4550 words on “she didn’t

More than anything, it’s just... sad. As though everyone who does this thinks they're Owen Wilson, but are actually Will Ferrell.

I don’t really have feelings one way or another for Duca. She had some good viral tweets a coupla years ago. I don’t really look to her for political insight, but if she gets young women riled up about the state of the world, rad.

Bad actions? She was kind of a dick to some people and wrote some childish bitchy emails. What restitution can people possibly expect from that??? How are these people so wounded five years after the fact? How is any of this something that should be public knowledge, or that should weigh in to how we feel about her?

I’m really not 100% sure what the back-and-forth tone is doing here. “Is publishing this a good idea or a bad idea, who knows; she has publicly demonstrated a desire to change but is change even possible; cancel culture is bad, she’s canceled; I don’t want to insult her, she’s a grifter.

Did you just write a 4,500 word story about how a young woman who has become a figurehead for the resistance for other young women once wrote some bitchy anonymous emails when she was 23?

A couple of feminist friends took me to task for saying Holmes faked her voice. They said higher octaves don’t help women in the workplace, which I don’t argue with, and she only “lowered her voice an octave,” which in their minds wasn’t fake. I say she lowered it way TOO much, and that’s what makes it fake.

Erin and Gigi are ex-stepsisters, but never fret. Vanity Fair is way ahead of you. Here’s a handy chart!

You need a genealogy chart to understand the connections of the Jenners, Hadids and Fosters.
