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?

Oh I’d definitely ask for the brandy
Nah, Bretbug sucks at quitting, too, so he’s been back for a while.

This is false. The chapter did not “accidentally” quote Hitler. Accidentally quoting Hitler is when you don’t know Hitler was the speaker. The chapter quoted Hitler *and attributed the quote to him.*

The @NYTimes is deeply committed to downplaying what the Right is doing. Image
Associated Press, June 22, 2023: “The first version of the newsletter included the quote, ‘He alone, who OWNS the youth, GAINS the future,’ and cited Hitler.”

Oh look, there’s an image readily available online. This is not an “accident.” Moms for Liberty didn’t think the quote was from, like, Oscar Wilde; it knew damn well it was quoting Hitler.

The New York Times is lying to you on behalf of Moms for Liberty. Image

This timeline makes clear that the story is "JD Vance is lying about a veteran's military service," not "Tim Walz under fire over military service" and any journalist who centers the later instead of the former is despicable.
The New York Times is helping JD Vance swift boat Tim Walz by privileging Vance's lies.

The real story is that JD Vance is lying about a fellow veteran's military service for political gain.

When Republicans swift boated John Kerry in 2004 with the news media's help, we weren't organized or strong enough to push back successfully.

We can now. Don't let them do this again. findinggravity.net/p/breaking-the…

is Donald Trump still running for president Image
The New York Times is just *willing* this into existence.

I remain ambivalent about who should be the Dem nominee but there is nothing ambivalent about my view of what the New York Times is doing here or the lack of proportionality it is bringing to its Biden/Trump coverage. Image
It's like if Al Gore wore a brown suit while windsurfing during a break from maintaining the email server he set up on the Internet he accurately noted he played a role in the development of. Image

The Supreme Court Stephen Breyer served on gave GW Bush the White House, gutted the Voting Rights Act, overturned Roe v Wade, and invited corporations to flood our elections with cash. It was a tool wielded by America's political minority to impose their will on the rest of us. Image

I am extremely angry about how goddamned stupid this is.

The 14th amendment's prohibition on insurrectionists gaining high office is a hell of a lot more clear than whatever the 2nd amendment says about guns.

Maybe Congress should have to specifically enforce the 2nd Amendment in order for it to have effect.
Barrett's opinion reads like she's auditioning to be the fourth-most-pointless Washington Post columnist. Image
that's her entire opinion: The majority got a big thing wrong but it would be impolite to criticize it

This is amazing. He thinks he can just casually sneak the private jet trip to Alaska there in at the end and nobody will notice.
CLARENCE THOMAS: These free luxury vacations are totally ethical because the GOP donor who takes me on them is a dear friend! It’s just what friends do!

SAM ALITO: This free luxury vacation is totally ethical because I barely know the GOP donor who took me on it! ImageImage
These guys might want to huddle up and settle on a consistent story, you know?
