      In the course of a thread, Kay goes from 1) admitting Wente plagiarized on multiple occasions & that was "bad" 2) compares her to a bad barber 3) offers her a writing gig at his publication.pic.twitter.com/rGmAf1mQh3

      Also: if you are a bad barber, then other barbers will know you are unskilled and talk about it. Most barbers have craft pride! Most journalists have craft-pride. The people who edit Quillette have no craft-pride.pic.twitter.com/kLU6w9Sgf0

          Generally, the barber shops I've gone to have attempted to ensure that they don't have a reputation for giving bad haircuts, but hey, what do I know

          Also, ya know, bad barbers don’t cause widespread societal harm.

          I went to a weird racist barber once who had immigrated from the UK to Canada because "Britain was being invaded by Pakistan" I looked up his website a couple years back out of curiosity, and it looked like he'd gone out of business. I definitely said "yes! finally!"

          I went to a barber near my old apartment who went into an unprompted rant about how Bill Cosby was being railroaded. The haircut was good, but I'd rather a less competent and more politic barber.

          Definitely others fields where there is brutal in-craft critique on a personal and professional level https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/jun/25/norman-stone-obituary …
