9/11: Forbidden Thoughts

A tweet sent on the @AP_Planner account about Saturday, Sept. 11, being the anniversary of a Nickelback album was deleted. The tweet was in poor taste.

if it had been about 'the blueprint' it would have been fine

xxp

is the "Come From Away" musical very famous? The forbidden thought in Newfoundland is being sick of how nice we were to diverted passengers, as though other places would've had them starve in the streets.

sick of *media retellings of how nice we were

20 years ago, then 12-yr old daughter asked me in fear, “will they do to Muslim people what they did to the Japanese?” #911Remembered

She really asked that, did she? On that very day?

Smart kid

my son also had some very astute insights at the time, but I told the late period embryo/borderline foetus to stfu. btw in the 9.11 race at the Yarmouth track tonight there is a greyhound running called Greencraft Jet @ 5/1

Blackrose Oily won the 9.11 at Yarmouth... makes u think!

as though other places would've had them starve in the streets

tbf I had the same reaction to the immediate post-9/11 "New Yorkers are the best people" / "New York is the greatest city etc.," because, like, those pansies in Baltimore or Berlin or Buffalo would have simply crumpled

i'm mad that Giuliani got cultural manna for simply doing his job as fucking mayor during a crisis.

if only 9/11 had managed to interrupt his kill all underclass black people agenda for more than five minutes and a day ...then this cunt would have been a truly great mayor.

That's why the Walkman was and is the greatest thing ever to happen to music

this is the thread to share about how when they showed the second tower fall during class in my sophomore year, one girl was like "i saw more people get sad when aaliyah died" and i feel like enough time has passed that i can share this with the internet

we need a resolution!

are you that somebody (who planted and detonated the explosives that took down tower 7)?

Yeah that pissed me off at the time. What did he even do, shoutout first responders in press conferences?

And he used that manna to help get Bloomberg elected which was the fucking worst.

All I can think of: he spoke in sentences; George W. Bush didn't? And he loved the camera?

It gave him a redemption arc at the end of his administration.

Idk what's worse between Giuliani's vision of NYC as a fascist Disneyland or Bloomberg's vision of NYC as Dubai-esque playground for wealthy foreign investors. Bloomberg was more successful in executing his vision so prob him.

Cuomo can FOAD too

What, you people complaining about a giant Olive Garden in Times Square?

There is absolutely nothing in Times Square that would appeal to a NYC resident so yeah, nice job Mr. Mayor

On the 20th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the @nytimes ran only two stories, both on page 22. pic.twitter.com/brhD2y7uY9

tbf, I wonder what kind of 20th anniversary coverage they got in Honolulu.

Amazing the amount of people in the replies who think that's a perfectly fine tribute and are aggrieved anyone would think otherwise.

I mean it IS fine in that it is not extraordinary

9/11 is performative sorrow for white people pretending that they have been harmed

Atty general for Texas tweeted that out today.

I don't know what the context of white dudes drinking out of red cups before 9 o'clock on a Tuesday morning, but it was a weird tweet nonetheless.

Their last kegger

1) i’m definitely over random ppl just posting tourist photos of themselves visiting the WTC ~whenever~

2) i’m at the point where i want every rando to stfu & leave space for ppl directly affected to talk or post photos if they need it. rest of world, just fuckin can it for ONE DAY.

Oh my, speaking of randos who might need to stfu

I’m not sure I have ever seen someone give a speech at a formal occasion as drunk as Rudy Giuliani is right now at the 9/11 dinner. pic.twitter.com/54G5oCuBe3

And another thought about @EmmaRaducanu and #leylahfernandez: neither had been born when 9/11 happened - underlines why memorials, like today’s are so important. #USOpen2021 #911NeverForget

There was a 10-minute "a point of view" from David Cannadine on Radio 4 once called "anniversary cornucopia" and it was just a series of "observations" of exactly this sort, honestly one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

On this anniversary of the release of The Two Towers I did the My Freedoms Donut Challenge where I gorged on a dozen Krispy Kremes in remembrance of all the martyrs being forced to vaccinate by Senile Joe. Never forget, 7-11.

On the third anniversary of Good Burger I ate a very bad burger

During a moment of silence for 9/11, a woman started shouting and had to be kicked out of the Triller Fight Club Holyfield - Belfort event.

the Wolf of Wall Street fought Evander Holyfield?

"Sell me this ear..."

I foresee the traditional Moment of Silence being supplanted in America with the Moment of Incoherent Bellowing, it's just how we demonstrate our reverence now

Eventually "Amen" will be replaced by "fuck yeah, bro" in most churches.

This day will forever be remembered, to those who lost loved ones my condolences. #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi pic.twitter.com/V9cN02Xigd
