Some professional news: After 11 years of columnizing at WaPo, I'm taking the buyout. This is my last column. It is my advice to any other lucky pundits who land a perch like this—11 principles I've aspired to, even if I haven't always achieved them: wapo.st/3TU2fGw
Agree w/@shortmagsmle's sentiment, but this ideological phenomenon transcends journalism. E.g. For *decades* I've heard complaints about Orthodox Jewish women's voices not being heard, yet none of which I'm aware have (or likely will) recognize the influence of @libsoftiktok
