The Lorenz hate confuses me. Every complaint I read is like "she did an article about how a wellness influencer's best friend is Martin Shkreli and it totally torpedoed the launch of his new cryptocurrency"

@AbigailShrier The pearl clutching here is hilarious. I knew my third grade teacher was married because I saw her and her husband in church on Sunday.

@kdrum @drvolts How do you distinguish "self censorship" from basic etiquette or the experience of holding an unpopular opinion?

No joke: Glenn describes Alex Jones as being "disturbingly handsome" within the first 2 minutes of the interview.

@frankbumb @nichpic @jarlcarlson @TheWolfieB @olsonkaren48 I don't agree the interview was obsequious and, in fact, the premise of the question you and other liberals keep citing was that Jones spouted false conspiracy theories. Instead of screaming and calling him names for Twitter applause, I asked him to grapple with why he did that.

The centrist code omertà around anti-trans movements continues to amaze me. Not even the mob can get people to play this level of stupid.

Basically every paragraph of this has some egregious error, but my personal favorite is the part where @jaypgreene went ahead and included DC even though its minor consent law wasn't in effect during the relevant time period.

This is literally the worst social science research study I've ever seen. It wouldn't get a passing grade in a social science research methods class. A thread 🧵
