I’m trying to see what she did that’s so horrible, beyond calling someone at work fat and some shitty tweets she’s apologised for.

Everyone fails a purity test at some point.
Constantly purging everyone for some evermore exacting standard of ideological purity seems self-defeating and a waste of energy, badly needed…

Lauren Duca (maybe) got drunk at a work party and did some stupid shit in 2015. It (probably) led to her moving on from HuffPo.  Since then, she’s gone viral and moved up in the world, but “everybody” (the media cliques running around on the east coast) still subtweets about her stupid shit. Jezebel’s tired of the…

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?

can anyone give a TLDR? I got about a third of the way through before I gave up looking for the thread

She did dumb shit when she was 21 (or 20?!) and has perhaps...grown in the time since? And I know you acknowledge that but it’s a throwaway line in what sort of feels like a needless hitpiece? This isn’t Tucker Carlson being a racist misogynistic manbaby at 40 or whatever.

Truly, he’s done an amazing job, and I hear he’s getting recognized more and more, even.

this exact fucking website criticized this movie by calling it underwhelming and lackluster you fucking moron

I am absolutely saying hes an idiot.

There are fewer better poster children for shitty automation than self-checkout. I have literally never, as in not one single time, successfully completed a checkout at a self-service station in a grocery store without having to call a human employee over. And it’s not because I’m an idiot. Or not entirely, anyway.…

Between this article and the Hillary one this morning, it has become clear to me that Jez is not capable of relevant social commentary anymore. We’ve been so critical of the right exploiting candidates’ personal lives or criticizing women’s looks, yet this pretty, young woman comes along and teehee let’s talk about…

No, we’re not inept morons.

I never thought much about Bret Stephens before, and my opinion of him remains unchanged;

Bret Stephens - 1

I’m shocked that you would so readily share such a deeply embarrassing exchange.  Do you think you come off as the intelligent one in the above conversation?

Samer, did a colleague hack your account and post this under your name? Why would you actually post this willingly? It’s not a good look.

Congrats, Samer. You managed to make Bret Stephens look more reasonable and likable than you.

Wow.

Not a Stephens fan, but don’t you have anything better to do? Seriously?

Good heavens — you send the guy the sort of shallow, witless emails one might expect out of any college humanities freshman ... and you think this exchange somehow makes you look *good*?
