She’s now trending higher than stories about the mass shooting.


Twitter will not free Palestine, but it will certainly make the world a more antisemitic place

by Eve Barlow • May 25, 2021

I don't know who crafted the first tweet that simply said "Eve Fartlow," but whoever it was—bot or human—started a fire. Over the past two weeks, Twitter has been littered with the words "Eve Fartlow." Every time I tweet, this title is the response I attract, and it is pelted at me irrespective of what I write. Hundreds of trolls, some with blue ticks and some without, just start responding to me "Eve Fartlow" (some people have recently switched it to "Eve Shartlow" but "Eve Fartlow" seems to be the one that sticks). If we donated a JNF tree to Israel for every time someone tweeted "Eve Fartlow," there'd be no Negev left.

    I totally forgot he existed. I checked his Twitter. His most recent tweet is dated...

    Mar 20, 2019

    I guess he's "taking a break" from Twitter. But how do his would-be followers get to-the-minute updates about what's annoying him? I mean - if he orders coleslaw as a side dish but gets pickles - nobody will know!


    Edit

    He's been busy. He's the editor of Commentary Magazine. Plus - he gave himself a podcast there.

    John Podhoretz, author at Commentary Magazine

    That must include the podcasts which seem to come out a few times a week. My god.

        "Today, I went to Denny's. I asked my waitperson about an item on the menu I was thinking of ordering - Super-Cheese Mac & Cheese. I proceeded thusly: 'One, is the cheese real and not processed? Two, what kind of cheese is it?' "

        "To my first question he replied 'Yeah? Maybe?' To my second question he said 'American? I think?' I ask you - dear listeners - how is one supposed to know what one is consuming in SCM&C if even the wait staff does not know!"

        Podhoretz rants for another ~11.5 minutes about SCM&C. "Another thing that bothered me was..."


        I wouldn't listen to that shit if somebody paid me.
