Lol Katz. I first encountered that retard when Notes rolled out on Substack. I kept seeing Andrew Sullivan’s notes and Katz would always respond with something about how Sullivan was harming Katz’s pet victims. Such people are too antisocial to understand that society is more at peace when their pet victims are cowed into silence and don’t dare to make demands upon the majority. He’s just throwing a tantrum because the pendulum has swung back.

Cool it with the "retard". Want to call him a jerk, a jackass, asinine, disingenuous, a self-righteousness fool more concerned with being on the right side than having his facts straight? Go right ahead. But "retard" is crass and smacks of making fun of actual disabled people.

I don't approve of the term "retard." It comes from the term "Mentally retarded," which should not be used in a pejorative manner because it refers to innocent people.

Note: calling somebody "mentally diverse" is both less offensive and more funny than "retard". Going forward: "Lol Katz. I first encountered that purveryor of mental diversity when Notes...."

Fair enough! Good tip, I like to mix it up.

I don’t think he’s emotionally grappled with everyone on this platform being forty and employed.

I am not forty and take great exception to your comment!

Jokes aside, Katz is having a big sad that his precious media gatekeepers don’t have dominion over all mass communication. So he’s reduced to throwing tantrums in an effort to get clout.

Matt Taibbi said that Katz is "destined to be eulogized as a parrot on the shoulder of Received Wisdom," which is such a sick burn.
