New York Times Pitchbot@DougJBalloonIn this Ohio town, it was a tradition: early mass, softball game in the park, then over to the airport for burgers, fries, and double scotch rocks. But now the woke mob is taking all of that away.

the tweets on that advert were maybe just from the guy's personal feed and he maybe didn't notice because he was given all of 4 hours to make it as companies run by guys like Elon tend to do

BTW, that airport BBQ place responded to Brooks on Facebook:
Looks like someone was knocking back some serious drinks - Bar tab was almost 80% and he's complaining about the cost of his meal 🤔 keep drinking buddy - we get paid off everything.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 21 September 2023 21:53 (one year ago) link
I kind of admire that Brooks just left the tweet up and didn’t comment
― Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Thursday, 21 September 2023 23:13 (one year ago) link
There's nothing to admire about it; he's a persistent dumbass whose only survival strategy is knowing that if he admits he's ever wrong about something the rest falls in a house of cards. For all the Obama-starry-eyed moves of his once, he's more exactly like Trump.

The second most confusing thing about the tweet is that he apparently removed the tomato and lettuce from his burger and piled it onto his plate as a "salad"

the four empty ketchup sachets answer that: he has the taste preferences of someone younger than his wife preferences

I'm absolutely buzzing on the idea that Brooks typed up a draft of a column that kicks off with this anecdote and then spins into his patented set of homilies and unsubstantiated condescending garbage, the plane lands, he checks his phone and just very quietly goes to his laptop and clicks "Close".... "Do Not Save"
