What's the end game here, pops? I mean you had to know you would be immediately blocked. Were you just hoping for one perfect troll, one unforgettable night where your reply guy efforts led to two, maybe three likes?
I think this is an attempt at a gotcha but this extremely capable Twitter user wasn't counting on me saying, "Yes, I would be very devastated by my son turning out to be a mass murderer."
Liberals are forced to accept that after Shapiro's "W.A.P." acapella cover and now Tom MacDonald's communist-melting street anthem, the right is now dominating rap music.
Sample headline from conservative media: "EMINEM WHO? Rapper Tom MacDonald, a disciple of the streets, eviscerates wokeness with rugged hood slang that he actually knew BEFORE binge-watching HBO's THE WIRE"
"I GIVE WOKE NESS NO REST
HOTTER THAN HARRY STYLES IN A HOE'S DRESS
WAIT HAHA I MEANT HE LOOKS BAD
SAW ART OF THE DEAL IN MY BOOK BAG AND GOT SHOOK BACK
BEST BEER? LEFT TEARS
DRINKIN LIKE THERE'S NO NEXT YEAR
CALL HAWLEY I'M HAVIN TECH FEARS
CALL MOLLIE I NEED THE PRESS SMEARED"
This is a microcosm of our experience as a publication.
People read a few things they like and then, because we are incorrigible pluralists, they inevitably come across an article they despise. And they unsubscribe.
The GOP successfully filibustered the January 6 Commission.
The U.S. is hardest hit from this, since of course it's absolute clown level stuff to be incapable of properly investigating an incident in which frenzied rioters attempted to stop the certification of our election.
I agree it’s incorrect to say the U.S. is intrinsically racist, but “it had to struggle its way out racism that existed when it was founded” is an indefensible whitewashing of the way in which the American founding intentionally weaved white supremacy into its social design.
Where’s the agency? Lindsay talks about the American founding as if it featured heroes of incorruptible character battling a hostile universe’s vile attempts to saddle it with the evils of slavery. Maybe the founding wasn’t a Marvel movie.
What are you talking about?
Of course the founding era contained "aspirations to rise above it." I never denied that.
I understand that everyone has already dunked on this, but I am still trying to wrap my head around a Covid reporter for the NYT actually thinking this and then tweeting it out. It seems like it shouldn’t be possible to be this professionally incurious.
“Is that code beyond just calling me a clown?”
😂😂😂😂😂
Oof
I feel like I need to tweet an obligatory defense of the NYT since so many people use occasions like this to draw unwarranted conclusions about the publication. The paper has generally covered Covid exceptionally well.
