Here’s a brief story about @davekarpf, @BretStephensNYT, bedbugs, and heavy-handed attempts to stifle campus speech.
Attention, Internet:
@BretStephensNYT’s nickname is “Bedbug” now.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
@BretStephensNYT You are "Bedbug Bret" now, @BretStephensNYT. I am sorry, I do not make the rules.
@BretStephensNYT UPDATE: You may sometimes be referred to instead as "Bretbug," @BretStephensNYT. Again, I apologize, I do not make the rules.
@BretStephensNYT Bretbug @BretStephensNYT, I have another update. Please note, however, that I do not make the hashtags.
@BretStephensNYT omfg is this invitation transferable? Because I would pay a lot of money for it on Stubhub dot com if so.

OK I gotta go be productive but in conclusion: Yes I absolutely would go to Bret Stephens home, drink his wine, eat his chicken marsala, and then tell his kids why he sucks.
Absolutely.
man I’m on the west coast. by the time I get to Bret’s house to call him a bedbug in front of his kids there’s gonna be a line around the block.
anyway, since you’re all here:
1) Bret Stephens once compared climate scientists to anti-semites and Stalinists. thinkprogress.org/wsj-editor-bre…
2) go follow @davekarpf
Attention, publishers: I would pay $29.99 for a nice hardbound compilation of the best #BretBug tweets.

How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are bugging?

Nah, Bretbug sucks at quitting, too, so he’s been back for a while.
