Adding a level of hilarity, she can’t figure out how to contact me even though she previously emailed me directly at my work address and called me at my work number.🤷
The next step is to get invited to a cocktail party to schmooze with the people you are also trying to cover. I hear that journalists do a lot of that.
@kenwhite.bsky.social You know how it is when you put numbers in your phone under another name and then accidently add the wrong person to the Signal chat - impossible to get hold of the right person!
Sure Ken, but she hasn’t let anyone in the public know that. How are the public supposed to know that she’s trying to contact you if she just uses the non-public methods she’s used before. Her trying to contact you needs to be public. Obviously.
Not sure how or why this happened, but these days an exceedingly large army of even more exceedingly lazy "journalists" have significant positions in the industry.
Somewhere out there, a KW Keller Williams real estate agent is struggling to understand her *very* specific house needs. (2 bedrooms, walk-in closets. For the bathroom, both sides are the same and censorship is everywhere... uh, I'll put that down as his-and-hers vanities and frosted glass windows.)
“Does anyone know how to contact Ken White?”
Like Lorenz doesn’t know about spotlight on top of the Griffith Observatory that projects the silhouette of a taco against the night sky.
It's a pity a former technology reporter for the NYT has apparently never heard of Google, which does in fact know the email address for "ken white popehat contact info"
Performative callout post because you blocked her? So sad. Don't reach out. If she forgot that her phone was also a phone, that's on her. This is PLAYGROUND stuff; literally she's standing 5 feet from you telling everyone else she wants to fight you. They peaked in 6th grade fr
It's why I always turn down people who want to be mentored when their first question is, "How do I get started as a PI in Oregon?" If you can't answer that for yourself, we're gonna have some big problems, Houston.
She only wants you for a quick article quote? Something like “Ken White, noted 1st Amendment attorney, said on BlueSky…” Or is she afraid you’ll send her a quote for a quote and she’s cheap?
She's in her 40s? holy fuck. The one podcast I listened to with her in it, I woulda thought MAYBE late 20s.. And never listened to it again because the valley girl speak is so damn annoying..
You'd be surprised at the rather astonishing number of 40 year olds carrying on like they're teenagers or early 20somethings on the internet. Arrested development became arrest and seizure development.
I would not even know where to start looking for a fax to even send stuff. I have not used one for literal decades let alone felt the need for one... I think he's safe even I had a need to send fiction to it.
@kenwhite.bsky.social I was all set to scoff. "I once sent him bacon, how hard could it be?" But your new official photo is so lean and serious I was thrown for the 30 seconds it took for me to confirm via the ABA which law firm Popehat works at. Congrats on cleaning up so well!
I stumbled upon the old post that caused her to block me Her story was a stupid one, trying to make equate minor concerns about Biden to what Trump is doing. A journalist for God's sake.
"I'll let you lose a few subscribers from this nonsense. Equating the two parties in this way is reckless."
Reminds me of one of my all-time most embarrassing moments: I was interviewing some pol over the phone, and all the newsroom terminals crashed. I told the guy I'd have to call him back because I could no longer take notes. He asked did I not have a pen? I prayed for a sinkhole to swallow me whole.
Had a fellow RN tell me once that the monitor isn't working we have no idea how to tell what the heart rate is. Like checking a pulse with your fingers wasn't taught day 1. We all habituate to our technology.
I walked on to the tele unit one night and all the monitors were down, and I was told they called for help desk and were still waiting for a tech 2 hours later. I walked over to the main computer turned it off and back on again. Fixed it.
I do feel like 50% of nursing is fixing stuff we're in no way trained to fix. In this case the patient was convulsing which was causing so much artifact we couldn't tell if the HR reading of 230 was real or not. I just remember checking a carotid and calling the code team.
When I was a week into newspaper job, i asked a person on the phone for their name and title, because I'd been told to call them for a quote, but not told who they were.
Friends, very self important county commissioner yelled "you don't know who I am?!" loud enough for the guy next to me to hear.
What's amazing here is that she would rather post this for all the world to see than to just call Brown, White and Osborne and possibly be told--OVER THE PHONE! Gasp!--that he's not interested.
It's no secret, you go to a field and find a flower with 7 petals, you pluck it and throw it into the sky, and say popehat 3 times before it hits the ground.
@kenwhite.bsky.social My assumption would be that she knows you won't talk to her, so she's trying to publicly shame you. But maybe I'm wrong about the first:
Wear it as a badge of honor. Taylor blocked me ages ago on Twitter because I couldn’t stand her holier than thou takes on Covid and how anyone who doesn’t agree 100% with her stances clearly wants everyone to die from it.
If you really want to have some fun, try to get in touch with the Full Beauty lawyers (the Avenue brand of clothing). The customer service reps and the building management that they have offices are not allowed to give their contact info.
I mentioned #dialtone around a Zoomer at work once and they literally said, "What's that?" A few of us gave them shocked faces... We all felt so old...
I know Google is kind of terrible these days, but it got me to you in about 3 seconds. How the internet reporter for a major publication can't figure that out is beyond me. Of course she's really in it for the impressions/drama so none of that is really the issue.
No one knows who you are off social media, Ken. Maybe if you had made something of yourself with a professional career, like, with your own firm or something. Ya know, something that would be in the phone book.
At midnight, she should lock herself in an empty room, save for a lit candle and a mirror. She must look into the mirror and say "you can't yell 'fire' in a crowded mirror" three times. The mirror's surface will change to this:
Oh, my. Isn't this the same 'journalist' who published (false) stories without confirming them, and later claimed to have left messages she didn't leave?
She once cited a tiny meme-thief account on twitter as the central point of a major NYT article... who had stolen said OG hyper viral meme from me. When I- and countless others- posted asking her to correct it, she ignored us all and refused to correct it. Trash reporter.
I mean, hell, I'm a (barely) domesticated canine and I know how to get in touch with you!
Then again, I haven't successfully demonstrated myself as a Nazi, tankie, sealion, concern troll, general moron, or whatever other types you actually go to the effort to ban.

She's doing a bit - even she can't be /this/ dumb
Like Lorenz doesn’t know about spotlight on top of the Griffith Observatory that projects the silhouette of a taco against the night sky.
WILL YOU?
Who the F that is this bad at at OSint calls themselves a journalist
Being slammed by a techie wannabe podcaster, I'm dead. Destroyed.
Once again, begging for that asteroid to come back inline for 2032 or whatever
big ole hint: I follow one, and never the other.
gotta follow you for this
💙✌️💙
But then Im not a "journalist" so apparently I'm doing it work and It's much hard to do properly
How does a person who wrote a book "Extremely Online" not know Google?
Is this the ultimate distillation of stenographic journalism?
"I'll let you lose a few subscribers from this nonsense. Equating the two parties in this way is reckless."
Hey Ken, Taylor Lorenz is trying to get in touch with you... Just thought you might like to know.
Friends, very self important county commissioner yelled "you don't know who I am?!" loud enough for the guy next to me to hear.
Jeez Ken, she was a columnist not an investigative reporter.... 🤔
JD Vance worked harder to hide his real name.

(Congrats, you just heard that in Mike Myers' voice.)
but alas
Bluesky is but one contact point.
there are others but I won't give away the game...
Hell, I see you're on signal.
I think @lawzag.bsky.social was the mind behind this meme, but don’t quote me on that.
*Clicks first result*
"Ah, I see"
