What a joy Taylor Lorenz must be to work with. Were they sad when she left the New York Times for the Washington Post? Because she has a tendency to get into fights with her co-workers online and make everything very public. The target of her anger this time was columnist Helaine Olen, who commented on Howard Stern leaving his “bunker” for the first time since 2020.
At some point we're going to need to begin a conversation about the people still too afraid to leave their homes because of Covid. I personally know of two such cases. This is not a healthy way to live. https://t.co/DiZE14MJH2

How dare she.
What an absurd, insensitive thing to post. Thousands are dying per week, millions are disabled & we have zero effective drugs that prevent infection. Immunocompromised ppl don’t deserve condescending comments abt being “too afraid” of a virus that can kill or severely disable us.

Also “we have zero effective drugs that prevent infection” — is this vaccine misinformation? @TwitterSafety pic.twitter.com/bItTUEJXQK

The president himself said otherwise.

I thought this violated Washington Post rules and you can get fired or suspended for it

I thought that they were told to keep the drama with colleagues off of social media after the Felicia Sonmez debacle?

Every time I think she can't go any lower, she continues to surprise

Her beat is apparently “covering tech and culture and policing my co-workers.”
They thoroughly deserve all the grief she gives them as she inexplicably remains on the payroll.

Lorenz the crybully.
I'm sure her own posts will somehow turn into a conspiracy against her.

This might seem like a swipe but I genuinely mean it…. Taylor is persecutory, impressionistic, exaggerated, and interpersonally destructive. The only attention she should be getting is for getting help. This feels like poking the special needs kid until everyone gets a reaction

We've reached yet another crest of peak stupid when Taylor Lorenz is fighting Helaine Olen over Howard Stern.

Seriously, what does Lorenz bring to the table that makes the nation’s largest newspapers hire her and then keep her?
