Bari Weiss has resigned.
The descent continues.

Will she be the NYT’s James Damore? Maybe, though she’s probably not on the spectrum.

Some suggestions that better reflect the DC culture.
My pick would be the Washington Parasites, though the word “Washington” itself is problematic.
How To Stop Cancel Culture
Amend Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
As noted, it’s currently cost free for an employer to kowtow to the woke mob. That has to change.

It’s always ironic that people foolishly think that corporations support free-market capitalism.

Which Is It?
This is a thing on Facebook, but I’ll do it here. I’ll list five famous people whom I’ve been within a few feet of, but one of them is a lie:
Mitt Romney
Buzz Aldrin
Fred Smith
Newt Gingrich
Bill Nelson
[Evening update]
All right, since everyone is guessing Mittens, I’ll start the slow process of elimination. I met him at the Conservative Summit in DC right after the disastrous 2006 election. I tried to talk to him briefly about space and advising him on it, but (as he later demonstrated), he didn’t give a rat’s patoot.
Monday-afternoon update]
OK, I’ve had enough guesses. I’ve known Buzz for decades; he used to call me in the middle of the night. I had lunch with Fred Smith at the Atheneum at Caltech in the 90s, when we were pitching him for funding for supersonic research. I talked to Newt for a while at a reception at the State Department a year ago. I’ve never been in physical proximity to Bill Nelson, or communicated with him.
