I've never been a fan of Krugman, but this is a new low.
Klaus, there is no link in your post. However, when I opened this window to post, the link does show up.
I'll try copy/paste:

Weird. I pasted into my post, and it doesn't show up. I even hit enter a couple of times to add blank lines, thinking it would provide more room for the link. Maybe something's busted?

I see it in both posts Klaus & Rainman.
I saw it in Klaus' original post a while ago.

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.
Only non-witches get due process.

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.
I was only joking

[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.
