.@nytimes Impugning an AD's character based on his on-set behavior and likability is equivalent to doing that to a drill sergeant. He's not there to be liked, not even by the director, often especially him/her. Stick to the facts, or clarify.

.@RollingStone A setback in a relatively young person's life in the middle of a pandemic that has him driving for Uber is hardly his "life ruined." I get the clickbait wording, but what are you saying about Uber drivers? Why the editorial in a sub?

.@glaad That "anti-LGBTQ content" only offends your vision of us. As an LGB man speaking for a silent, terrified majority, your vision of us is what's offensive. You've long been overly prickly and supercilious. Get off your high horses and shoot them.

.@quillette Thanks for Allan Stratton's series. As I put it, gender dysphoria isn't sexuality; if anything, LGBs are gender euphoric, which might excuse the terrible, embarrassing label 'gay,' except nothing will ever achieve that.

When the Grand Inquisitors of the Woke Movement resort to ageism and sneering about "histrionics"—so rich coming from a professional hysteric without a cause like @michelleinbklyn—they know the end for them is nigh. @nytimes Enough, already.
