those "how i spent my sunday" things that i have read seem like they are inherently designed to make you dislike the person upon reading all the things they do on their sunday routine. first, they are fortunate enough to have a sunday routine. it gets worse from there.

Leave the Twitter mob. Think for yourself. Listen for yourself. Turn of your political bloodlust. Learn how to disagree as a civilized adult. Stop bullying people. Just stop it. @bariweiss, I'm with you. Be strong, lady. This too shall pass.— Julia Ioffe (@juliaioffe) February 17, 2018

i thought bari weiss' original tweet was meant well, if inaccurate? but then she weirdly dug in on it and now it's all free speech or something idk
― mookieproof, Sunday, 18 February 2018 10:11 (six years ago) link
It has vastly more to do with existing antipathy towards Weiss and the broader trend towards mainstream papers seeking “balance” by recruiting right-wing hot-takers than the tweet everyone is pretending to be up in arms about.
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Sunday, 18 February 2018 10:17 (six years ago) link
Justifiable antipathy-she is awful.
there's something a little unsavoury about weiss standing back on her twitter perch and congratulating nagasu for doing her job well, as if she'd just taken out the trash

Which is why, on our last day before flying to the beach, I booked a van to the Cu Chi tunnels, the underground former Viet Cong base, about 90 minutes outside Saigon, that is a major tourist draw. At last, the kids could roam and climb, and gawk at the admirably barbaric traps used to catch enemy soldiers, while I pointed out ponds that were really bomb craters and told them about a war I was born too late to remember firsthand. And, of course, we clambered about in the three-foot-high tunnels, which is any kid’s dream but drew rivers of sweat even from this smaller-than-average American.
When we emerged, Sandy (who could stand fully upright in the tunnels) explained: “You ate a lot of dinner — that’s why you didn’t fit in the tunnel. You ate a lot of food — like Anna and Elsa!”
Sasha was more succinct: “This place is pretty amazing!”
As my heart warmed, I also realized: Oh my god, my kids are … tourists. They like it easy. They like fun. They’re on vacation. What did I expect?
― rb (soda), Thursday, 22 February 2018 17:07 (six years ago) link
Admirably barbaric, indeed.
“At first, my wife, Jean, and our daughters Sasha, 7½, and Sandy, almost 4, were game.”What is with people and ages? Can’t he just say 7 and 3?And there’s something disgusting about this guy and his kids playing in these tunnels like they’re in a fucking playpen at a McDonalds.

― Simon H., Thursday, 8 March 2018 01:53 (six years ago) link
weiss compared people disagreeing with her online + college students posting flyers protesting a ben shapiro appearance to fascism
― mookieproof, Thursday, 8 March 2018 01:59 (six years ago) link
Also she cited a fake antifa twitter account as evidence that protestors are calling everyone fascists.
― JoeStork, Thursday, 8 March 2018 02:01 (six years ago) link
Editors’ Note: March 7, 2018An earlier version of this essay cited criticism of the commentator Dave Rubin as an example of left-leaning attacks on liberals in the public sphere, and linked to tweets that described him as a fascist. Those tweets came from an account that has been reported to be fake. Therefore the example and the links have been removed.
― mookieproof, Thursday, 8 March 2018 02:03 (six years ago) link
Therefore the evidence for the claims has been removed but the claim has not been removed, thank you please subscribe.
