I think this is some kind of timeout when the tweet doesn't load fast enough. I'll investigate later.

Yeah but what about all those conservative scientists and academics saying crazy racist murderous things on twitter? Why only cherry pick one progressive Nobel prize winner who says crazy racist murderous things?

The more I think about it the more I realize it’s a specific reference to the guy from the Villages video (that Trump retweeted) who yelled ‘white power’ repeatedly.

Yeah, it's clearly a reference to the 'white-power' guy, but it's still in very poor taste.
Personally, I feel the world would be a better place without Twitter. It brings out the absolute worst in people.

[Nodding.] It cultivates the stupid.
What's disturbing is that even if you could do away with social media in one fell swoop tomorrow, you won't do away with their effects for a very long time, if ever. The alterations will have sunk in too deep to be gotten rid of in less than a generation, at least.

I posted it as a screen capture image but if you still can’t see it, Krugman tweeted out an article from Bloomberg about Florida seeing an uptick in cases in the 75+ crowd.
But he prefaced it with the comment “Reality is coming for white supremacists driving golf carts”

Maybe the Nobel Prize is like the Oscars; you can have a whole raft of lousy candidates and the least lousy is the winner, and Krugman was the least lousy that year.

He's been maximizing his pop culture fame and approval for quite a while now. It's perfectly reasonable in his own emotional economy.

Yes, I see it now. Thanks.

I think the “white power” guy is getting a bad rap. It looked like the other guys were calling them racist and he was kind of mocking it.

Sarah Jeong had a history of repeated tweets and quotes. With this guy you have 3 seconds of video with no context before or after.
In college, we had to attend something called Freshman Lab, where there would be a lecture and discussion period about relevant social issues that can affect college students. During the date rape lab, we had this feminazi come in and start the lab stating “Look around this room. There are eight men in here. One of them will rape somebody in college and 4 of the others will want to, but not have the balls to do it” then she went off into a litany of false claims and ridiculous stereotypes. (For context, this was a women’s college at the time. The only men allowed were fine arts majors. 4500 women, 43 men on campus...).
Well, this pissed off the guys as you can imagine, so we spent the rest of the afternoon and evening running around campus yelling things like “Oooh, she’s wearing pants! She’s asking for it!” and similar stupid crap. I could definitely see something like that in this case.

When I first watched that video, that's exactly how I saw it, too.

Klaus, Jon's posting did work. Please have Jon review all of your posts before you attempt to do so. Bitte
FYI - I'm using Windows 10 and Chrome. As far as I can tell, everything else on the forum works fine. I could try another browser, but that would require me to actually do something useful. Sorry, don't want to go there.
Vielen Dank. Zie zind ausgetseichnet, aber ich can't spell worth a damn in any language. Fabelhaft. Ich bin auslander, so give me a break. Later, dude.
