WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES 14:59: Career Crash: Rape Hoaxer Lena Dunham, Announces End of ‘Girls,’ Flees Twitter.

In 2013 When Alec Baldwin (remember him?) was in one of his periodic “you won’t have me to kick around Twitter anymore” phases (in between kicking around photographers), Nick Gillespie described what was really driving this particular aspect of Baldwin’s rage, which seems limitless at times:

Baldwin sputters that the very tools he can use to bypass “the mainstream media and talk directly” to his audience also empowers all those dim people out there in the dark. What’s more, his followers have minds of their own. They may enjoy his turns in Glenngarry Glenn Ross and 30 Rock and guest-hosting on Turner Classic Movies but not really find his views on fracking to be worth a damn. It’s a real kick in the pants for a celebrity to be reduced to asking, “Do you think I’m really changing anybody’s mind?”

“Remember the good old days,” Gillespie added, “not just when there were only three national TV networks and one or two national newspapers, but when Hollywood studios could virtually completely control the image surrounding their contract players like halos on a saint’s shoulders? Those days are over, Baby Jane.”

As Dunham discovered herself, all that pushback from those horrible non-One Percenters starts to take its toll — seemingly one pebble at a time.
