There are many talented writers/journalists who are decent people and who work in semi-obscurity, and I’m sure they’d enjoy being victims of a cancel culture that brings book deals, speaking gigs, and sinecures at the paper of record along with it.
But it’s a neat trick how conservatives have redefined “criticism” as “cancellation.”
Nice job. Also, I am reminded to always click on the links, where I found this gem from SPIN: "...while Keith Richards glared menacingly at the suddenly better behaved crowd..." (Toronto 2003) That's all it takes to quell a Canadian mob, Keith Richards' glare? Well, he was only 59 back then, so maybe he was a bit more menacing than he appeared in "Under the Influence."
My family is very Scandinavian and I’ve never seen the name “Kirstjen” before. The J doesn’t make any sense where it’s at, and it’s really hard to pronounce. It would be “KEERST-yen.” That’s not a thing.
Were her parents trying to give her a cool Armenian-sounding name and screwed up spelling “Kirstijian?” Or were they just throwing a random J in the name to look more Scandinavian-than-thou?
I've been too busy catching up on the NYT crosswords and Weekly Reader Quiz (10 out of 11, zero out of about reality TV) to bother with David Brooks' latest "If I Were a Smart Man" columns, but holy mother of Ba'al, he wants Elizabeth Warren to not be President because recession? Does he not know she knows how not to have recessions? Does he have any idea how the economy works? Not to mention he gives her a Democratic House and Senate and thinks she'll fuck it up? David, David, David, you don't know what to do when a smart person speaks, presents plans, and has the strength to make it happen. There was a guy in my neighborhood who built a bunker to evade the law. That bunker is weakass compared to the bunker Brooks has built against realty.

Your Bari Weiss is priceless.

Once again I have a hard time separating parody from reality...

It looks like somebody got hold of the interview script to write this piece....
But really, isn't the anti-Semitism aimed at white, Scandinavian, gentiles the _worst_ kind?
