OMG - Roy, come clean now. . . did you make this up, or is this just one more of those things thatcha can't make up? My brain hurts so much, I wanna know who to blame it on!
The funniest thing here is how literally no one can stand Bari Weiss -- probably including her own mother, who likely lets her calls go straight to voicemail, lmao
Apparently Jordan Peterson responded to Trudeau’s plea for everyone to get boosted with “you’d have to kill me first.” That’s quite an attractive offer, but if he continues to eat only red meat and broth, any action on the Canadian government’s part will be unnecessary.
What a coincidence: this piece goes out prematurely the same morning I wake up much too early. Inexplicably, it seems Melatonin makes my sleep worse.
Anyway.
I see Williams name and start thinking: we’re I so inclined to write a mid-20th century pastiche and/or parody of an intellectual frustrated over insufficient success and being generally ignored for offering too little insight with a pretentious, portentous style, Williams’ career and so on would be on whom I base the character. Just saying. Then again, maybe a handful of pundits have anything to offer anyway…
my god i read the U of T link to the JP diatribe, and after a couple of paragraphs, was certain it was a parody site. what a self-righteous prig he comes across as! i may not be as S-M-R-T as mr peterson, but i am a lot less racist. whatever it is he's against, i'm for!

"on a venture still in formation" "Venture" is the tell - That's vulture speak for easy money scam. MItt Romney went on lots of ventures. JD "Fat Chance" Vance is able to run his embarrassing as fuck senate race on all the venture money him and Pete "Night Stalker " Theil put together.
To be fair - Beer Pong is a game of skill requiring countless hours of practice to master.
Does Bari still have her substack thing? I haven't seen that upskirt picture she uses lately. The one that looks like she let out a massive fart that's popping umbrellas open and blowing people over.
Roy, how did you find the time to write that Peterson parody in the “National Post”? You definitely captured his unique combination of cliche, bigotry and self importance. Also that page looks like it could be a real article, if it wasn’t an obvious mashup of the “National Enquirer” and “New York Post.” Really, don’t hide your genius behind a click.
I'm pretty sure someone has said this before, but it's possible BW's theory of "cancel culture" was based on her experiences on Jewish Singles dot com, getting ghosted after two DMs.
Oh shit this is brilliant. What an incredible & hilarious use of the (underexplored!) genre of meeting minutes. Your theatrical forays are uniformly excellent (& often sublime), but this is just genius.

"Co-President Weiss also informed the new members that she had won the beer pong tournament."
Perfect.
"which offer was declined"
Let the record show...

Wait, where’s Larry Summers?!

Holy shit, the Iron Sheik twitter feed is incredible. Thanks, Roy.
Lol. These clowns deserve every hoot of derision they receive and more.
Co-President Weiss also informed the new members that she had won the beer pong tournament. Well, I guess that's something.
I thought that the end of Peterson's article would be "I am not a crank."
Bari, thy grifting is to me
Like those Herbalife scams of yore,
That dully, o'er a sordid sea,
The keening, cancelled pundit bore
To his own tawdry shore.
