RIP David Brooks

a: shorts, you fuckin weirdos

question: what do you wear when it's over 100 degrees every day so that you dont feel like dying

Where I live it (currently, but who knows in a few years) doesn't get above the mid 90s, but I wear jeans and T-shirts about 350 days a year. The rest of the time I wear khakis. I limit my time outdoors and keep the air conditioner on at home.

in general, life is better lived when you don't tell strangers what kind fo clothes they can't wear

if you (are a white guy over 30 and) don't wear shorts, your legs look weird and pale and spindly and hairy when you're naked

it (currently, but who knows in a few years) {...} keep the air conditioner on at home.

what a thrilling existence

Home is where my books and CDs are. What does the outside world have that can compete? Other people? Fuck that.

men over 30 shouldn't wear jeans and tshirts almost every day

Feeling v attacked rn

It wasn't until I turned 35 that I got up the nerve to abjure the no-shorts-after-6-p.m. rule.

I will NOT wear band t-shirts though.

my summer clothes are cargo shorts and free t-shirts from when ive donated blood

Fuck u shorts shamerz die in a fire

The danger of a grown man wearing shorts is that he’ll look like an overgrown child, so you gotta be careful out there. Wearing a polo helps.

so long as it's not tucked in

I love how the last 10 posts could be sentences from a Brooks column.

not tucked in yes

otherwise shorts are appropriate all year round

Waiters are 87% friendlier as they hand me the bill and I’m about to decide the tip amount than they are at any other point in the meal.

i'm a big naive dumbass all the time, why can't i be a NYT op-ed columnist

Lmao at chapo/David brooks convergence

David Brooks, go on Chapo

lol DB is doing his weekly PBS segment and he just referred to Trump's Baltimore tweets as "not a dog whistle, but a human whistle." Good one, David.

One day this thread will actually be accurate.

Someday David Brooks is going to look at impeachment like it's a dewy young researcher and realize it's what he's been longing for all along pic.twitter.com/XYl3sH9vyl

It’s because look at her. She isn’t some barefoot flake conducting a drum circle or playing the harp. (“Why do people make crystal jokes?” she asked me at one point. “I don’t use crystals!”) No, she wears Armani. She’s a practical person. A meat-eater. A capitalist with capitalist policies. How can you reconcile all that with the memes in which she appeared with her eyes shooting out lasers and stories about groups of occultists praying for her to get more speaking time in the second debate? “When David Brooks says it, it’s profound,” she told me. “When I say it, it’s woo-woo.”

“When David Brooks says it, it’s profound,” [Marianne Williamson told the NYT.] “When I say it, it’s woo-woo.”—True, but as usual Williamson draws the wrong conclusion.

RIP big man

I dream of a future where we can join together with our enemies in the alt-right to put David Brooks up against the wall.

damn he’s really going in on his colleague Bret Stephens there

y’all are making this seem much more interesting than it is.

Nice how “own the libs” and “smash the racist right” are equal to him. Teachers should use this rant as an example of “bothsidesism”.

you've proven you can't handle the app. it's over. leave it to those of us who use it correctly, ie fucking around while half-assedly doing our day jobs and waiting to die. than kyou
