God I hope the irony of "journalism writer" is intentional but I really fear it isn't
We both know that the last time David Brooks did anything intentionally ironic was sometime in his teenage years, and he crafted his last joke in his twenties.
Who fucking knows? You're not wrong on the second part though. His response to getting repeatedly dunked on for the first one was to double down and post this https://twitter.com/nytdavidbrooks/status/1114187462299901958?s=21 I was disappointed he didn’t clarify or defend "journalism writer." But he usually doesn't engage with the conversation and that one example is kinda a one off
Imagine getting payed a 7 figures salary to repost a scatter plot someone else showed you in response to your original tweet
