Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I’d wanted to go through the collection and reupload the ones where the alt text had the usernames cut off, because i like the idea of the collection being searchable, and I wanted to do that before I started doing new batches and, well, I still need to do that.

This afternoon, I tweeted a brief joke about a well-known NYT op- Ed columnist.
It got 9 likes and 0 retweets. I did not @ him. He does not follow me.
He just emailed me, cc'ing my university provost. He is deeply offended that I called him a metaphorical bedbug.

Alright fine... here is the email:

(Screenshot of the email from Bret Stephens)

From Bret Stephens, New York Times
Stephens, Bret<
to dkarpf, gwprovost
9:10 PM (59 minutes ago)
Dear Dr. Karpf,
Someone just pointed out a tweet you wrote about me, calling me a "bedbug." I'm often amazed about the things supposedly decent people are prepared to say about other people -- people they've never met -- on Twitter. I think you've set a new standard.
I would welcome the opportunity for you to come to my home, meet my wife and kids, talk to us for for a few minutes, and then call me a "bedbug" to my face. That would take some genuine courage and intellectual integrity on your part. I promise to be courteous no matter what you have to say.
Maybe it will make you feel better about yourself.
Please consider this a standing invitation. You are more than welcome to bring your significant other.
Cordially,
Bret Stephens

theologians don't want you to know that you can defeat any vice or sin by accelerating it. A few years ago I became so greedy that I had a reverse-mystical experience and decided that everything in the world already belonged to me, rendering material acquisition redundant.

Justin Halpern @justin_halpern. 
ooof the kicker on this New York Times story...

(Screenshot of NYT story with fake final paragraph) 

The Republican bill would have repealed tax penalties for people who go without health insurance, rolled back federal insurance standards, reduced subsidies for the purchase of private insurance and set new limits on spending for
Medicaid, the federal-state program for more than 70 million low-income people. The bill would also have repealed taxes imposed by the Affordable Care Act on health insurance providers, manufacturers of prescription drugs and medical devices, and many high-income people.
It was a stunning failure for Paul Ryan. He exited the White House in defeat and took no questions as he stepped into his black SUV. Within moments, the muffled sound of Papa Roach's "Last Resort" were heard blaring from inside the car as it drove away.

Obama."



Brigadier General William R... @seanrmoorhead 11/1/19 The second time was earlier this year in sixth grade art class. A girl told me her grandfather died on 9/11 in one of the towers and I said, "My grandfather also died on 9/11. He was flying one of the planes." It was like a reflex.
