New: WaPo has suspended @daveweigel without pay for his retweet of a sexist joke. When emailed for comment, an out-of-office message said that he will return on July 5th. https://t.co/KYztmUde0k

Big victory lap for @feliciasonmez. Although she considers him a friend, it was necessary to call him out publicly.

Let the takes begin

Taylor Lorenz just got caught repeatedly lying in her article such that WP had to revise it 3 times as an "Editor's Note," and it still contains a lie: nothing happened. Dave Weigel immediately apologized for RT'ing a joke and is suspended without pay

Just so we're all clear: Taylor Lorenz can literally lie and violate basic standards and gets no punishment. Felicia can leak her bosses emails..violate company policy and harass her coworkers and is good to go

Where’s the Washington post union? Where’s the epic white collar organized labor org defending members from management

By the way, Felicia Sonmez and Dave Weigel shared a byline in WaPo in late April. This isn't some stranger at her job that she decided to shout out on Twitter instead of contacting privately. What a radioactive waste barrel of a human.

This is just amazing. The Washington Post is being held hostage by emotional-blackmail psychos

People call others "reply guys" I don't know how Twitter works, I thought that's just how the app is supposed to function. Do people genuinely think you're supposed to mainly interact by liking tweets like some kind of idiotic applause for celebrity narcissists?

I don't think one term can truly encompass it but there are definitely annoying "reply guys". What it mainly should refer to are people who constantly reply to some ""internet celebrity"" but rarely if ever get acknowledged, basically simps/stans/suckers. You also got those dudes who showed up under every single Trump tweets, also could be considered reply guys. And last but not least are people who I'd call engagement vultures, they show up under so many viral/semi viral tweet and try to do some milquetoast dunks or opinions out, even if they don't care or know the topic or people involved. Gotta get those likes to fill the void.
