You never see fragile masculinity in the north per Incredible Penguin. That’s why Trump and Bagel Boss were born deep in the heart of ‘bama, as we all know. Guess I’m the idiot!

Of course it’s Bret. Most of his columns are about how mean people are to him.

I loving hate that kind of poo poo. First, tattling to the boss is extremely bedbug behavior. Second, who was talking smack about his wife or kids? Presumably Karpf is calling him a bedbug because of his published work in the NYT. Cowards hiding behind their spouses and kids when they’re called out on their lovely professional behavior are peak bedbug. And I would gladly call Mr. Stephens a bedbug to his face at his office, or at a neutral venue of his choosing. I don’t want to go to his home or meet his wife and kids, because we’re not friends. Has he been to Elizabeth Warren’s home, met her husband, kids, and grandkids? No? Yet he talks infinite smack about her and gets paid well for the privilege. loving bedbug.

So Fast and Furious is coming to Edinburgh, which just like when Avengers filmed here means closing some roads for a bit. It'll be a bit inconvenient for some folk but it'll be fine. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman....ember-1-4991674 I mean pick any comments but  I'm a big fan of 'Mild Inconvenience means you should be murdered by sucicde bombers'.

Serf posted:you mostly encounter this behavior among people who have the means to better themselves but don't. most of us are just trying to get by down here Some of it goes back to the "southerners are slow, lazy, and stupid" stereotype. The weird thing about it is that it was literally true but it was because of a parasite. There was a time when something like half of everybody in the American South had hookworms which...makes you tired, sluggish, and stupid.

Went from a little joke with 9 likes and no retweets to a trite replyguy trying to kill with kindness while also endangering employment with 21000 likes and a fuckload of retweets. Not great, not terrible. e: Just noticed that this tweet killed Bret Steven's twitter. rip in peace, bedbug ee: Imagine seeing a Google alert for your name ding, then you see someone compared you to a bedbug! So you find out where the person works and send them a haughty missive from your couch while you and your wife watch an episode of Glow. Feeling like justice has been done, you settle in for a peaceful night of sleep. Then you wake up and find that you are trending on Twitter and your boss wants to know why she keeps getting emails about insects and cc'd on invites to dinner? And you can't think of any better way to handle the situation than to say Twitter is a sewer (ignore your own direct action which caused this backlash) and try to erase your digital profile. As if anyone would care if you just said "What I did was stupid, impulsive, and I apologize" and keep your head down for a bit while embracing your new nickname. Just imagine it.

 that a grown-rear end man, complete with wife, lawn and mortgage, would get all indignant and huffy and loudly ragequit social media like a 13 year old who just got banned from fortnite, because someone called him a bedbug, instead of just laughing and turning to the nearest person to say "Did he just call me a Bedbug?"The internet makes you stupid
