1. Who wants to watch @sullydish egregiously & completely misrepresent another writer? It's an edifying experience.

10. Addendum. This lays out in an even clearer manner the fact that the tweet Sullivan objected to was one parodying Sullivan himself:https://twitter.com/awprokop/status/1025484876278112261 …

11. Addendum II: This by my colleague
@onesarahjones is good:https://newrepublic.com/article/150404/dont-call-harassed-writer-neo-nazi …Show this thread -
12. Addendum:
@sullydish is avidly promoting a charming fellow who a) is offended at a joke making "rice cooking app for white people" b) repeatedly uses the phrase "white genocide" without irony. c) reads a joke about alt-right paranoia about "white genocide" literallypic.twitter.com/PsXrs0pePN

13. The concept "white genocide" has a particular provenance. It's a signature concept of the alt-right.
@sullydish is helping mainstream this idea and Adam Moss is totally okay with that.Show this thread -
14. Here's the thing. If you are offended by "rice cooking app for white people" how do you deal with "White Men Can't Jump," Eddie Murphy's "White Like Me" or, in fact, 99% of hack stand up comedy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L104LViQeIw …

15. Hypothesis: leftists tend to slightly over-rate Evelyn Waugh & Anthony Powell out of a nostalgia for conservatives who understood irony & satire.

16. Oh look, the Jeong critic that
@sullydish avidly promoted & repeatedly re-tweeted thinks we should keep an open mind about Pizzagate. Cool, cool.pic.twitter.com/D6ceFzG0de

17. So, to recap: in his eagerness to discredit Sarah Jeong,
@sullydish promoted a guy who believes alt-right theory that "white genocide" is a real threat & is Pizzagate curious. And Adam Moss is okay with this & doesn't think it reflects poorly on New York magazine. Cool!!!!Show this thread
