Is bluesky more like holding court in a radicalized, kooky cult or is ejecting an acquaintance from your chateau in rural France for the sin of disrespecting Bari Weiss more like holding court in a radicalized, kooky cult?

"I simply asked him to substantiate the claim he made, and he couldn't."
I'm going to go ahead and guess what actually happened is he said that, and the friend dunked on Tommyboy so badly that the other guests laughed at him. Tommy had a tantrum and then hid in his room the rest of the weekend.
"THAT'S IT! I WILL NOT LISTEN TO ONE MORE WORD AGAINST THE MISTREATED MISS WEISS! I ENCOURAGE YOU TO SELF-EXPEL, SIR!"
(guest vomits white wine and brie on his shoes)
"I SAID GOOD DAY SIR!"
“Dear sir, I compel you to expound your views or be expelled… to the Airbnb just around the corner with the lavender bushes and the charming stone terrace”
Honestly must have been the shit internet in rural France cuz how the AF do you not substantiate a whole lotta nonsense when it comes to Bari fucking Weiss....
There's something about the 'out of nowhere' and the 'couldn't substantiate' there that makes me think there was definitely a 'no, go on, what were you going to say out MY FRIEND Bari Weiss' before the rant. Probably a 'show me the quote where she said that exact thing' right after too.
Yeah, it was definitely a "Can you prove your claim without making any inferences no matter how obvious they are or bringing up any contexts I won't immediately reject as irrelevant?" kind of "debate."
Honestly, from what I know of the guy, I'd be inclined to take this story at face value.
Although I'd leave open the possibility that the full story is "I kicked a friend of a friend out of my chateau for making fun of Bari Weiss and because I caught him fucking my wife."
real sickos remember that the MOST clownish piece of TCW lore is when his wife was supposed to interview emily ratajkowski and then he just went instead and the resulting article was “she has boobs but also can read?!” and she was like “yes, he was just as creepy as you can imagine”
Honestly it was all my fault, he asked me how I slept and I just blurted out "Bari Weiss is bad!!!", spitting croissant crumbs everywhere, so naturally I had to be de-chateau'd. C'est dommage.
So did he expel him or did the guy just leave? Because he moves rather quickly in the thread from forcing him to leave to “self-expelling,” which is not a term and makes no actual sense (other than in reference to vomiting).
I like to think of them as the kids in Whit Stilman's METROPOLITAN, now grown up and musing on current events with unknown sources of cash supporting their country house lifestyle.
I might have been bullied myself as a kid, but I think I would be compelled to beat the living bejesus out of this "Thomas Chatterton Williams" dork or at least dunk his head in a toilet if I came across him in real life.
oh god same. All these insufferable Vichy media gobshites as well as Musk and all his shitty little enforcers make me want to resurrect the corpse of John Belushi to stuff them all into (one) locker
Interesting, is anyone here to engage in a serious good faith debate? Try reddit. Debate time was over nov 5th. And all that came up on my x feed for the past year was anti-trans and anti-black videos and bigots wanking each other off in the comments. I wonder how we got radicalized. Hmmm.
I regret to inform Mr Williams that Bari Weiss is a hack.
I can point to innumerable examples of her hackery, not least the “intellectual dark web,” the “Free Press,” and setting up a fake university in Texas.
I like that he starts by saying he expelled the guy, but ends by saying the guy "self-expelled, with encouragement." He can't even keep up the tough guy routine in his own fantasy
If I had a chateau in rural France I'd invite the guy who disrespected Bari and got kicked out of Thomas' rural French chateau over to stay because I know we'll get along.
The majority of users on this app are laughably and hopefully disconnected from the lives of average people. It’s a great illustration of how liberalism and vast wealth have combined to create a privileged class that are utterly blind to most of society’s big problems. They probably won’t last long.
heh. once a (former) friend dramatically threw open his door & told me to leave and never darken his towels again, bc it was movie night and his mess of a boyfriend chose (original) Suspiria and then fled to his bed in tears because I laughed all the way through it.
For some reason Bari Weiss follows me on X. I’ve asked her why, she didn’t respond, but she still does. Hey. maybe she’s just really interested in decriminalizing sex work
My vote is that Bari Weiss is a nonsensical kook all on her own, irrespective of where she is. This guy is free to defend her, but his hypocrisy about disagreements and what to do abut them is glaring.
First I’ve encountered this gentleman with the please-punch-my-face name, but there’s a difference between “expelling” and “self-expelling.” His friend clearly left because Chatterbox is an insufferable asshole and not the other way around.
I hate when I am invited repeatedly to expound, and yet ultimately must resign myself to self-expulsion (to spare Bari Weiss's delicate sensitivities). I am just keeping it real!!
I’m the friend he’s taking about, sorry! My bad! I simply inquired why Bari has no discernible rizz these days, and Thomas tossed his crème de cassis aside (spraying several of the help) and asked me to leave. so I did
I was in my Rural French house, to which I'd invited someone I'd never met...
...as one does...
...and then out of nowhere he began ranting about Bari Weiss...
...as one does...
... and so I kicked him out...
...as one does...
...in this totally true post on a platform known for its gritty realism.
On the subject of misinterprettation, he did literally say in his first post that he expelled his friend
He can clear up his own wording, that's perfectly fine. But he can't call it a misinterpretation for someone to take the words he actually typed at face value.
I feel like pointing out that people "can't name a single thing she's written" and thereby identifying that Bari has not written anything of merit that would deserve to be held in medium or long-term memory is at least a step in the right direction!
Srsly, though, I just wish Bari's 'Moms Who Know Things', who she turned to to guide us all through C19, would now guide us thru measles, polio, highly-pathogenic bird flu and mesothelioma, since they've established themselves as "predictors" that we should pay attention to.
Does this guy realise how stupid he sounds defending an app where the guy who runs it is deleting/rerouting information as he sees fit for his own end and the government's?
I've asked for a few substantiations today myself... so far only rhetoric or logical fallacies (ad hominem, special pleading, burden of proof, most notably) so far.
I probably should take a breather and cook some hotdogs.
I think this explains a lot about the current media landscape: self-proclaimed liberals twist themselves in incomprehensible linguistic and logical knots to protect “friendships” with right wing blowhards that would in no way show a fraction on reciprocity
whats funny in both his Bari Weiss story, and his warm words for Rufo followers is the emphasis he places on "good faith." You can be the biggest grifter or support the most radical authoritarianism if you follow some modes of argumentation that he perceives as a good faith (i.e. not insulting him)
Hey… philosophy majors from a top tier uni, with a masters in a program that would be (or may now be) banned by a Trump EO is a total crapshoot. It’s near impossible to put odds on just f’n goofy that person will turn out.
The idea that Rufo has any well of good faith (as opposed to his actual pit of bullshit) is beyond hilarious and tells you more about TCW than... anything else possibly could, including the fact that he goes by his full name.
I said one day someone would give him a bonk to shut him up. He responded I’d have to save up air miles, so I corrected him—I wasn’t threatening him, it was only a matter of time before he’d experience consequences; I’d only have to take the Chunnel, and didn’t want to see his stupid chateau anyway

Like, I can’t name off which Logan Paul cryptoscam was the worse, but that doesn’t make him innocent of being a scammer.
lol this fucking guys almost funny.

But also get out of the way, that sh*t's dangerous.
3 tweets later, “he self expelled.”
Impressive!
But he went to private school, and Georgetown, lives in France.
And we're supposed to take his treatise on American culture at the moment seriously?

Like, if there was ever a name ever cried out for an wedgie...
I understand the middle name now.

Has worse takes than most opinion writers for Atlantic or NYT.
Good lol. Protect your peace.
