I don’t know the answer to this. Probably the time I said people in wheelchairs aren’t worth inviting to orgies?
Although the story hunting a drug-addict with a paintball gun definitely has had longer legs. People still tweet at me about it.
And in terms of news coverage, the answer is probably “Jaws Star’s Son Won’t Sleep With Fat People”
It’s funny to think about this because the past is filled with twitter dramas that were “big” at the time but then have been overshadowed.
In 2015 I was hit by a bicyclist and tweeted something like “I hate bicyclist! I wish we could cut their throats!” And it got picked up by some bicycle blog and the reaction felt huge. But now it is like maybe too 25?
In 2014 I made a joke about playing piñata with the bodies of depressed white men who had hanged themselves and it caused an ad boycott of Mother Jones lol and I was forced to write an apology/non-apology.
I spent like a month replying to people “I’m a white man, you fucking idiots!” And then discovered that lots of anti-Semites don’t consider Jews white lol
And then in 2016 I also tried to hang myself and the irony was not lost on me Hahahha
I don’t think I get enough credit for once having a promising career in the respected halls of journalism but then stubbornly insisting on indulging in my own crazy sense of humor publicly on this website to my own financial detriment lol
I like doing my tweets and being myself!!!
Sometimes my tweets are bad and I do think “whoopsidaisy” but there is a truth to them which is they are things I would say if we were together joking in a bar.
Like, I ain’t got no hard feelings to people who hate this twitter account but it is an honest trailer for the real life live show of being friends with me in real life

Does no one have the guts to edit Scorsese???
That pelican looks like it’s up to something nefarious.
I’m sure the movie will do fine despite its length. The Beauty and the Beast love action remake was 2 hours and 9 minutes and it made over a billion dollars.

Five people in the United States actually want to take a train across the country and four of them are on terrorist watchlists
Very important that we get that vital Boise to Cheyenne route back
I’m happy these train fans like their choo choos. Everyone needs a hobby. And no one is suggesting there shouldn’t be rail option between densely packed commuter cities. But his tweet is not framed like that. The size of the United States has nothing to do with commuter rail.

Thanks but the real travel tip is don’t go to places where this could ever come up Image
In the movie Black Beauty, this kid is on a ship and it sinks and he wakes up alone on a beach and this cobra is about to attack him and then Black Beauty, a horse, stomps the snake to death.

A shipwreck is the only way I am ending up on a beach like that.
I hate snakes so much that I don’t tweet about them bc there is this paranoid part of me that worries my enemies would send me a snake. I don’t mind the Nazis doxxing my address and stuff bc they’ll just come in human form and I can handle that but a snake would be my end.

This Glenn Beck clip about the Nazis is crazy and offensive and historically inaccurate but mostly it’s just confusing. What the fuck are you talking about dude
I don’t think we do have to hand it to Josef Mengale for starting “from a place of compassion”
I clipped that from here because the first minute or so is just boring and confusing before he talks about the Nazis. The point is something about how woke people are bad

Teasing other countries is one of my favorite things to do on social media. It’s all the fun of the World Cup without the boring bits (soccer)
Sometimes people are like “US ain’t perfect! Ever heard of slavery?” And you’re right that was terrible & you should feel comfortable dragging us for that. (I mean it’s not like we invented it ourselves; we got it from somewhere! But yes we deserve to be dragged for that!)
Also native Americans. We were pretty bad to them! (Though some of that from the early days is on the Spanish. But Trail of Tears and and a hundred plus years of murder and destruction is on us)
