there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

Antisemitic Cornell student turns down interview because he’s ‘not interested in working for a Jew’

Austin Franco, 19, put his antisemitism on full display when he passed up an interview with NYC-based company VryfID because its co-founders

By Sonya Gugliara

A Cornell University student who applied for a summer internship with a Jewish-owned NYC startup rejected the opportunity with a hateful message: ‘Not interested in working for a Jew,” the shocked CEO posted on X.

Austin Franco put his antisemitism on full display when he passed up an interview with VryfID because its co-founders Gabe and Aiden Einhorn are proudly Jewish. 

Franco, 19, delivered the message to both brothers via job board site Handshake after applying for a summer role at the company, which pairs renters with landlords and verifies their identities to prevent fraud. 

The Einhorns reviewed Franco’s application and he was being considered for an internship with VryfID’s growth team, which is tasked with attracting renters to the company.

“Sad world,” Gabe, 24, wrote on X Monday along with a screenshot of Franco’s jaw-dropping eight-word response to trying to schedule a Zoom call: “Not interested in working for a Jew. Thanks.” 

Gabe Einhorn told The Post he felt obligated to share the message to raise awareness of growing antisemitism. He blacked out Franco’s name out of graciousness, but commenters quickly revealed his identity. 

“I felt bad exposing him because I thought he could have made a mistake and he really doesn’t believe this wholeheartedly,” Gabe said. 

But the Ivy Leaguer soon made it clear that he meant every word of what he wrote. 

The student who hails from Virginia doubled down in an X post shared the next day.

This is the kind of guy that when he gets blacklisted for this by most outlets will blame the Jewish people instead of doing any sort of introspection.

[otakuvampyre]

Believe it or not, someone actually made a... Fuck what is that website called. Kinda like go fund me but not go fund me, for this guy.

And on top of that, this guy has both offered to go on talk shows to speak about his experience with this and has asked on Twitter if any lawyers think he could sue to get rich off this whole mess.

And of course he has an army of defenders from the "antizionist not antisemite" absolutely insisting he did nothing wrong. I've even seen a few insist he meant Zionists despite the fact he said "Jews."

And yes, blaming jews is exactly what he and every last one of his supporters did.

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”
