A heartbreaker!

We hear about "online ordeals" — she's been "cancelled 100 times" — but there are no examples. Later we hear vaguely about the issues of her mom working for Trump, but again there are no specifics. What a weird world the Style section exists in.

She's not asked about her mother's role in opposing all of the things she supposedly is interested in, and we also don't hear anything about her father's role in opposing her mom's boss.

We hear she "speaks her mind with spunk" but she never expresses an opinion. We hear she has a "particular interest in issues like gender equality, racial justice, gun control and restoring access to reproductive health care," but also hear she's an independent.

This is another one of those bizarre Style section articles. You come out dumber than you were when you went in. (This is about the daughter of Kellyanne and Geroge Conway.) www.nytimes.com/2024/10/10/s...

The scion and sometimes antagonist of two figures in Republican politics has re-emerged as an independent aiming to sway her fellow Gen-Z voters.

Worse, her backup was a Google Voice number... which she can't get into without having access to her Gmail account.

I've got a friend who had her laptop and phone stolen while traveling — now she can't get in to her Gmail or Facebook account. She has her Gmail password but they are insisting on two-factor identification ... which she can't do lacking her phone!

@qjurecic.bsky.social You guys do such a great job. I've heard you speak on the podcast about how social media companies are restricting scholarly research. Have you done an article, or seen one, about this?

... Making the original charge with no basis, doubling down for months — to 22 million followers — and then +writing journalists+ to further perpetuate it and branding the notes "off the record," which seems like a deliberate attempt to amplify charges he knew weren't true. Why did it lose?

@kenwhite.bsky.social Got a defamation question. I remember you saying the case about Elon Musk and the "pedo" tweet was a weak one. I'm just reading the new book on Musk and it just seems so damning...
