Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I’d wanted to go through the collection and reupload the ones where the alt text had the usernames cut off, because i like the idea of the collection being searchable, and I wanted to do that before I started doing new batches and, well, I still need to do that.

I love that Slow Horses is mainly one spy who strategically makes himself so disgusting that he's effectively invisible and one spy who is unforgettably handsome and is always running top speed and shoving people out of the way shouting MOVE IT, I'M A SPY

This afternoon, I tweeted a brief joke about a well-known NYT op- Ed columnist.
It got 9 likes and 0 retweets. I did not @ him. He does not follow me.
He just emailed me, cc'ing my university provost. He is deeply offended that I called him a metaphorical bedbug.

Alright fine... here is the email:

Stephens, Bret<
to dkarpf, gwprovost
9:10 PM (59 minutes ago)
Dear Dr. Karpf,
Someone just pointed out a tweet you wrote about me, calling me a "bedbug." I'm often amazed about the things supposedly decent people are prepared to say about other people -- people they've never met -- on Twitter. I think you've set a new standard.
I would welcome the opportunity for you to come to my home, meet my wife and kids, talk to us for for a few minutes, and then call me a "bedbug" to my face. That would take some genuine courage and intellectual integrity on your part. I promise to be courteous no matter what you have to say.
Maybe it will make you feel better about yourself.
Please consider this a standing invitation. You are more than welcome to bring your significant other.
Cordially,
Bret Stephens

Twitter the only place where well articulated sentences still get misinterpreted.
You can say "I like pancakes" and somebody will say "So you hate waffles?"
No bitch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talkin about.

theologians don't want you to know that you can defeat any vice or sin by accelerating it. A few years ago I became so greedy that I had a reverse-mystical experience and decided that everything in the world already belonged to me, rendering material acquisition redundant.

the pallas cat shows you really don't need to reinvent the wheel to make something great. it's just a denser cat with a 30 percent more expressive face and it's amazing. they didn't kill themselves trying to make a whole new animal, they just altered some things and made a hit

every time I see an Angels highlight it's like "Mike Trout hit three homes runs and raised his average to .528 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn't been done since 'Tungsten Arm' O'Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen, as the Tigers defeated the Angels 8-3"

When I was in college I saw a fellow student ask my professor for an extension, promising to get his paper in by midnight that night. The professor responded "well, is that enough time?" and I genuinely don't think any single moment has ever been more impactful on my own teaching
