he seems pretty basic and unlikely to be the source of the burn tweets in the vid

someone he tagged knows

based on their timelines miho12 def the top suspect

linda deleted her tweet, so at least she reads the replies

In this Ohio town, it was a tradition: early mass, softball game in the park, then over to the airport for burgers, fries, and double scotch rocks. But now the woke mob is taking all of that away.

It does seem apt that X's shiny new advert promoting the platform includes a conversation in which notorious antisemite, Bobby Fischer, is mentioned... https://t.co/RScgNO4GAj pic.twitter.com/fMFp1QZQJ4

Elon’s probably a No Nut November guy

The extra 'n' is for extra Nazis!

If Twitter did a No Nazi November all the blue checks would disappear

aah Nitter is not working today

the tweets on that advert were maybe just from the guy's personal feed and he maybe didn't notice because he was given all of 4 hours to make it as companies run by guys like Elon tend to do

BTW, that airport BBQ place responded to Brooks on Facebook:

Looks like someone was knocking back some serious drinks - Bar tab was almost 80% and he's complaining about the cost of his meal 🤔 keep drinking buddy - we get paid off everything.

I kind of admire that Brooks just left the tweet up and didn’t comment

There's nothing to admire about it; he's a persistent dumbass whose only survival strategy is knowing that if he admits he's ever wrong about something the rest falls in a house of cards. For all the Obama-starry-eyed moves of his once, he's more exactly like Trump.

*feels validated*

Tip: $0

The second most confusing thing about the tweet is that he apparently removed the tomato and lettuce from his burger and piled it onto his plate as a "salad"

the four empty ketchup sachets answer that: he has the taste preferences of someone younger than his wife preferences

I'm absolutely buzzing on the idea that Brooks typed up a draft of a column that kicks off with this anecdote and then spins into his patented set of homilies and unsubstantiated condescending garbage, the plane lands, he checks his phone and just very quietly goes to his laptop and clicks "Close".... "Do Not Save"

welp

At least two of the people who helped create the much discussed promotional video for X/Twitter this week have been fired by the company, according to multiple sources.

glory: blazed

Advertisers must love being next to a viral slavery meme that's so racist and anti-Semitic I don't even want to post a tweet criticizing it.

Why is no one talking about how shriekingly awful the music in that video was, dear god.

mortifying to have to explain that you were joking and then apologize for the joke being in bad taste

.@nytdavidbrooks explains his recent post on X about the cost of an airport meal:

"The problem with the tweet, which I wrote so stupidly, was that it made it seem like I was oblivious to something that was blindingly obvious."

Still coming up with the goods.

These are all good cases for why Twitter should persist.

heh

X changed their IOS app page description to “formerly Twitter”, likely due to people not knowing it used to be Twitter pic.twitter.com/F9iImeeNlI

Former glory
