Tech journalist Taylor Lorenz set herself up for a wave of mockery on social media after posting a message about getting a travel visa.
The reporter who recently made headlines for expressing “joy” over the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, posted a message seeking help in securing a visa to travel to India. The message was evidently posted on Bluesky on Christmas Eve and she was clear she wanted only serious responses.
Taylor Lorenz, whose ostensible journalism beat has long been “technology and online culture”, didn’t know you needed a Visa to travel to some countries and it didn’t occur to her to check into this until Christmas Eve so now having a panic attack pic.twitter.com/nYU7CznAVW

“I’m supposed to go to India in a few days and didn’t realize I need a Visa,” Lorenz reportedly wrote.
“Does anyone know a reputable service that can get a rush visa ASAP?” she asked before warning anyone who dared to be funny, “If you give a joke answer to this I will block u.”
“I’m extremely stressed,” Lorenz added.
Naturally, X users needed to weigh in.
The privilege is strong with that one.

Lorenz came back with a shot at conservatives who didn’t know the difference between a visa and a passport.
“These people have zero critical thinking skills,” she wrote.

She lashed out at critics who have never left the country.
Update: She’s not stupid. You just haven’t travelled like her. https://t.co/6bArgSCuvs pic.twitter.com/nsLK73MDMj

She reportedly posted on X as well where her posts are protected.
