The Hope Hicks news is news because it's Hope Hicks, not because it matters either way to the public. It is the closest thing to celeb news that traditional outlets do. That it merits a breaking alert from NYT should be embarrassing to all involved.
Political media is more a high school cafeteria than ever. Get a grip on yourselves.
A fucking breaking news alert. Honestly. What is wrong with you people?

Folks, I’m not gonna lie: I am seriously disturbed by those of you defending that man who repeatedly punched the back of that woman’s seat. The blatant condoning of male rage and entitlement while women are shamed for asserting their space is disgusting. Do some soul searching.
And no, for me, this isn’t about seat etiquette. I ask if I can move my seat back, and if someone asks me to move it up, I oblige them. His overreaction was way out of line and the airline personnel were atrocious in how they handled it.
Gonna amend my first tweet to say “white male rage” — hard for me to imagine a man of color doing this on an airline given the potential consequences if things go very bad.

Many fans of South Park want it to be recognized as art and commentary (I believe it is absolutely both) but get pissed when it's interrogated and critiqued as art and commentary.

Then it's just entertainment and "chill out".

You can't have it both ways, folks.
South Park, like so many other things, can be entertainment and commentary, but you cannot substitute standards of one of those for both. That's not how shit works. You're literally asking for a safe space for a show you claim is bold but apparently fragile to criticism.
I do think Parker & Stone are brilliant writers and have articulated great insight into our society and culture. I also think they're often lazy in their research and present their worldview as The One Truth. This leads to really uneven product, often irresponsible.

Describe the plot of a good movie, but make it sound terrible.

Example: A white gin joint owner gentrifies a majority-Arab neighborhood and welcomes local Nazis to drink at his establishment while putting a guilt trip on an ex-girlfriend and murdering someone in the end.
Some of you lovely human beings don't know how to make a movie sound bad, and it shows.
My mistake, in retrospect, is that I should have said "make it sound boring". Most of y'all are literally just rephrasing your fave movie but without proper names. It's cute and also frustrating.

#BREAKING: Tencent may have accidently leaked real data about the coronavirus outbreak (source: Taiwan News)

(TRANSLATION)
Confirmed cases: 154k
Suspected cases: 79k
Cured: 269
Deaths: 24k
#coronavirus #coronavirusoutbreak #coronavirushchina
Personal Note: Lots of people are speculating the people who run Tencent are freaking out and leaked these numbers on purpose in hope to call more attention to how bad its getting.
#NOTE: There was a photoshopped image, not sure if it was this one but it was similar, that being said is it that hard to believe 150k+ infected if China had to quarentine the entire country basically?

#BREAKING:#Trump says Russian meddling began in 2014, "WAY BEFORE HE PLANNED TO RUN." Well turns out he trademarked his #MAGA slogan WAY BACK IN 2012--a few months before HIS #MissUniverse Pageant IN MOSCOW. Hmmm

#BREAKING:As.@just_susie3 correctly points out, #Trump didn't just go to Moscow for his #MissUniverse pageant, he later bragged to.@hughhewitt in 2015 how he met "THE TOP PEOPLE" in Russia. Hmmm
