Many people are saying my last week on Twitter has been the greatest week in the history of this app. Let’s take a trip down memory lane. A 🧵
1. My first exchange was with @KariLake and her campaign account. I ended her Senate bid in a single night:
2. Next up was my good friend @catturd2. Very, very sad
3. Then we traveled to the other side of the political spectrum, where we had David Hogg literally threatening to go to law school because he was so triggered by my truth bombs
4. Then things got very, very strange when @AshleySinclair0, who has 100k followers, thought challenging me was a wise idea
The story of this election was the citizen-journalist. And no citizen-journalist providing braking news faster, more frequently, and more accurately than I did.
Last night, Kari Lake’s senate campaign joined the ranks of Keith Olbermann, Lord Maple Leaf, Hugh Freeze, and Senator Lauren Boebert by attempting to disrespect me. It did not end well for her
This is the story 🧵
1. This was not my first run in with Governor Pond, who two years ago told me to “log off” and I was forced to put her in her place
2. Yesterday, her campaign account turned into Twitter’s hall monitor and demanded that @TheBabylonBee only publish “valid satire” and was promptly ratioed.
I want to break down the technique on this video from my good friend @LasVegasLocally and explain why it’s a textbook example of how to blitz the quarterback and secure a sack on a passing down. Walk with me:
1. This is as he’s leaping into the air. Note the technique here. Rather than doing a box jump or trying to climb, he’s approaching the podium/offensive line as would an Olympic hurdler. He’s launching off his left and lifting his right leg so his momentum can take him over.
2. His next move is to “get perpendicular” so that his full body can clear the podium/offensive line. This is what a good pole vaulter would do, and this is exactly the kind of disregard for your own body that you look for in a blitzing linebacker.
1. The vast majority of the posts are garden-variety liberal/Biden-supporting talking points that could just as easily come from a JoJo or Brooklyn Dad (and yes, conservative twitter is every bit as bad about passing around the talking point of the day).
2. As a result, there’s no reason to think from the vast majority of tweets that this is parody. If you see a tweet and then and check the last 8-10, nothing suggests it’s parody. This alone sets it off, as most parody accounts only make parody tweets.
