So like...did we ever find out why David Brooks was tweeting about NBA Youngboy on election night? Or have we all just decided to move on?
The simplest explanation is that one of his kids tweeted it from his phone/computer as a joke.
However
It's far from clear that David Brooks even has any children who are currently of NBA Youngboy-appreciating age

Was he hacked? No, that's also unlikely: It's such a strangely specific thing to tweet, and the tweet is still up I'm pretty sure, and also he never claimed he was hacked, and also David Brooks's Twitter getting hacked wld've been enough of a big deal or us to have heard abt it
Could it literally be true that David Brooks only stays up late under two circumstances: Waiting for returns to come in during a close national election, and while listening to NBA Youngboy? Folks, I really just don't see it
Could it just be a joke? As in like, an actually really well executed joke? This is gonna haunt me to The Grave, folks

If anyone's in a position to share his email address DM it to me and I will ask him about The David Brooks NBA Youngboy Tweet in respectful and journalistically dispassionate fashion
