Most striking of all, though, is how bizarre it is that we haven’t read a thousand stories like this during the pandemic. It has everything: a high-profile media person, his penis, a Zoom nightmare come to life, and an inexplicable “election simulation” that remains unexplained throughout all of this. Loath as I am to relish someone else’s mini scandal, this one is.particularly tremendous. (Toobin told Motherboard that he didn’t know he was visible on the call while allegedly making mayonnaise.) He left the call, and then later returned, apparently unaware that colleagues caught the whole thing. At one point, Toobin seemingly joined a secondary call, lowered his camera toward his penis, and allegedly - and I believe this is the technical term here - cranked it real good.

According to Vice, the call was “an election simulation featuring many of the New Yorker’s biggest stars,” including Jelani Cobb, Jane Mayer, Masha Gessen (playing Donald Trump), and Toobin (standing in for the courts), among others. (Except, maybe, leg-washing Twitter, which I have decided we shall never speak of again after the end of this sentence.)Įarlier on Monday, Vice reported that writer and CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin had been suspended by the New Yorker for masturbating on a Zoom call that took place last week between New Yorker staffers and WNYC.

Yesterday was a fun day on Media Twitter, routinely the worst of all Twitter subcultures.
