I don’t post on twitter any more, but I access it periodically for reference. @noelcaslercomedy.bsky.social has always been up front about The Apprentice “star” so I revisited one of his posts from a couple of years ago. I’ll remove this if he objects, but for now, here it is. Prophetic, isn’t it?!

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Only about 20% of U.S. mayors are people of color. Yet of the 9 cities the President has targeted or threatened with “federal enforcement,” all 9 have mayors who are people of color. 🤔

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power.
The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

It turns out that protecting hate speech did not create the conditions to protect other kinds of speech; instead, it protected hate and allowed hate movements to take over all the institutions of that might have defended the rest of us.

This is an uncomfortable, but necessary thread about how the Democratic consulting class is ripping off donors and enriching themselves in the process. And the one group in the middle of this disgusting and shameless money grab should surprise no one.
