Well, Chris Brown got into a Twitter tussle with a comedienne. Warning, strong language, and a reminder of what a sexist jerk he is, if you needed the reminder.
Meanwhile, The Complex put together a list of Donald Trump’s 50 stupidest tweets. I rather imagine they had to pare it down a lot.
So now between Twitter, screenshots, articles, backup databases, and browser caches, this kind of moronicism is archived forever.
Think of the future. Think of the historians who will go through this digital embarrassment festival and what they’ll do with it. History may have been written by the victors, but these days history is written onto disk drives, waiting to be discovered. Hideous secrets and embarrassing truths will be dug up again and again.
History a hundred years from now will not be the same.
You’re welcome future historians who read this. Also, kinda sorry about this crazy.
