Dave Weigel got suspended from The Washington Post for reposting a sexist joke. A lot of people on here think the punishment is too harsh for his “mistake.”
But, looking back over Weigel’s early career, was it a mistake? Or, is this really who he is at heart?

Weigel started out as an early blogger and college Editor/Reporter for the Chronicle, a conservative rag at Northwestern (2000-2004).
(Wonder of wonders he wasn't canceled just for drinking JD and DIET coke.)

I’d bet money that most of the dirt-bag left has no clue how far right Weigel was back then. He even worked for the Center for Individual Rights - you know, the public interest law firm fighting to ban the use of race in admissions and other affirmative action initiatives.
Right, following on from this thread about #IntrusuveThoughts, a lot of people have commented about embarrassing memories that pop up out of the blue and make them cringe all over again.
That's a different, if related, phenomenon. Here's my understanding of why it happens

First and foremost, it's important to recognise that the fundamentals of the human brain's memory system were laid down looooong ago. Before we were even human. Consciousness and rational thought are far more recent developments, evolutionary-speaking

One upshot of this is that our memory system is often the result of new software running on old hardware.
A lot of the brain is like this, in fairness, and it causes a lot of issues. I *may* have written a book all about it

Eines steht fest: Der gefühlig-klerikale Spot der #Grünen lässt keinen kalt. Es fühlt sich wie Kirchentag an und ist es auch fast. Besonders der Pfarrer führte zu verärgerten Anfragen. Wer ist das? Wie entstand die Szene? Dürfen Pfarrer das? #Thread. #bereitweilihresseid #cringe
Laut Pressemitteilung wurde der Film mit Hilfe von 20 Unterstützern gedreht, die an ihrem Lebens- oder Arbeitsplatz gezeigt werden. Wir können hier schon sagen, das stimmt nicht. Die Pfarrerszene wurde in Gruiten (NRW) gedreht. Der Pfarrer reiste aus Groß-Gerau (Hessen) an.
Rund 460km An- u. Abreise für ein paar sekundenlange Takes. Echte grüne Unterstützer eben. Kommen wir zur spannenden Frage: Darf 1 Pfarrer, derart exponiert im liturgischen Ornat Wahlwerbung für 1 Partei machen? Um es direkt zu sagen: Ein katholischer zumindest dürfte das nicht!
Das Medienecho auf den #grünen Wahlwerbespot ist verheerend. Wir machen 1 kleine Presseschau:

Wenige Tage nach #Rezo gibt es nun ein weiteres Zerstörungsvideo: Von den #Grünen über die Grünen. Der Clip sorgt im Netz für Entsetzen. Er soll am Dienstagabend erstmals im Ersten laufen. Es ist fraglich, ob er gut ankommen wird, meint Anika Bube.

#Grüne singen wortreich und Menschen sind darüber sprachlos. Darunter viele Prominente. So möchte ein bekannter deutscher Satiriker mit eigener TV-Sendung im #ZDF, "lieber lachend in der Naturkatastrophe untergehen." Es gibt auch positive Stimmen. Wenige. derwesten.de/politik/annale…

I'm old, so maybe this generational.
I'm sex positive and hold nothing against sexual pictures generally or my beautiful inside and out colleagues.
I'm sure this tweet is going to catch me hell, but whatever. My principles are what they are. Have a good weekend everybody.

I thought some people approach this meme very innocently, posted amazing selfies, probably not thinking out their paricipation and who it would exclude or make feel bad.
I don't begrudge the creator who is funny AF
But no, this is not a good look for medtwitter.

"Ehhh udah sampe". Sambut Dinda pada suaminya.
"Masuk..masuk mas". Sambung nya mempersilahkan teman suaminya itu, yang disambut dengan senyum.
Sugin dan temannya pun langsung duduk di sofa depan tv, tapi suaminya belum melihat anaknya.
