probably, but even very viral memes have a pretty small reach if you're not on social media all the time.

Salaita had quit his other job and moved to take his tenure track position when they just decided to pull the offer as if they had no idea he was fond of free palestine wildin' on social media; no warning, and no job, and this is a major university system that did it
Bruenig had a day job (that he has kept) and the writing gig was part time - they definitely took a hit financially, but he was warned

people clowning kurt eichenwald for getting a seizure is pretty gross
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 16 December 2016 19:18 (seven years ago) link
Did he actually have a seizure?
― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Friday, 16 December 2016 19:19 (seven years ago) link
I mean Eichenwald is eminently clownable but I wouldn't clown him for that.

I, too, had a seizure that made me forget that I sent thousands of dollars to child pornographers

oh wait, someone sent him a gif that apparently caused a seizure?
that's legitimately horrible behavior but frantically tweeting about a television interview, deleting all those tweets, and then immediately claiming a gif was what gave you a seizure is some timing
he's doing very well in the shit account tourney!

Harry Potter series of novels and films. They are a group of wizards and witches, led by the dark wizard Trump, who seek to purify the America community by eliminating the foreign or Muslim-born (wizards or witches born to non-white parents) and half-bloods, which are created when a foreign or Muslim and wizard or witch mate. They also try to create a new order

despite being raised Catholic i am not really anti-abortion. It's definitely killing something essentially human, but there aren't nearly enough of them.
