Very Serious:
Something has happened at The Washington Post over the last few days that is so bizarre and petty, it’s hard for me to explain it to people who don’t work in journalism without sounding nuts. Mary Katharine Ham of CNN explains how that is going:

Briefing my husband on the drama. He is not on social media or a media watcher. “Do these folks not have an HR department?”
June 7th 2022
You may have noticed a bizarre trend at organizations whose staffs are full of younger liberals: Internal disputes aren’t kept internal anymore but are aired in public, on social media or in the press, with rampantly subordinate staff attacking their colleagues or decrying managerial decisions in full public view — and those actions apparently tolerated from the top.
In the most extreme cases, you get meltdowns like the one at the Dianne Morales campaign for mayor of New York, where staff went on strike to demand, among other things, that the campaign divert part of its budget away from campaigning into “community grocery giveaways.” But it’s especially a problem in the media, where so many employees have large social media followings they can use to put their employers on blast — and where those employers have (unwisely) cultivated a freewheeling social media culture where it’s common for reporters to comment on all sorts of matters unrelated to their coverage. more
Nope. They’re all living in the White House. LOL
I’m old enough to remember when you could tell a joke and both men and women would laugh. Now nothing’s funny to these sour liberals.
When you hate as much as these people do you’re bound to turn into a ouroboros, a snake that eats it’s own tail.

We have some out of town relatives visiting. My wifes sister and her kids. All grown. Good kids. Survived higher education and still lean right. Their mom leans left. Anyway the whole woke thing came up and I was trying to describe how bad it’s gotten. So I played the old SNL skit with Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor. They couldn’t believe it. And they also laughed their asses off.

Well, somebody has to clean the latrine…
“Do these folks not have an HR department?”
Of course they do. The HR department is at the root of this romper room ruckus.
I can’t possibly be bothered to care what happens at the WaPo unless everyone even remotely associated with that venomous rag (Bezos included) decides to form a circular firing squad using real guns and real bullets. Then I might even spring for pay per view.
Cunts like Felicia iSonmedz is literally the reason the original offending joke was so goddamn funny.
I literally have tried to read several articles about this, um, incident and have yet to figure out what is happening.
