I know Conor. The last time I saw him he was drawing breath to condescend to and insult me for reading science fiction instead of history and political nonfiction like he reads, and fortunately for him he was rescued by someone coming to get me and drag me away at the wedding we were both attending.

lol wow

I watch a lot of ESPN and I would love to see a sports pundit try this. "I haven't seen either team play this season, but..." Let me stop ya right there, chief.

That’s Charles Barkley during the NCAA Tournament

HA! Well done.

it was two months ago that i learned that conor friedersdorf was 35 and not, like, 80

I thought he was born yesterday

Schrödinger's Pundit, both 80-years-old and 8-days-old at the same time.

It says a lot that part of how Conor finds a way to empathize with Trump supporters is by deliberately keeping himself as ignorant as possible of current events.

I don't think people appreciate how much effort and sacrifice it takes for Connor to fall off the turnip truck every day before he shows up to work

Why did he use so many words to say “I drink piss?”

i remember exactly how i felt, carl!!!

Interesting to see that Conor hasn't changed since the good old days. He really turns that kind of centrism into an art, where he pretends at both sides, while you can clearly see his leanings.

He's kind of like one of those cats that hides behind a curtain that doesn't reach the floor. "You no can see me!" "Um, I can totally see you."

"I don't do 'facts' and 'information' but here's my take on this thing which, I am proud to say, I know nothing about"

Amazing to preface a take with "i dont know anything about the subject at hand but"

Welcome to the confidence of an average cis straight white man with a little social & educational privilege.

I don't follow Connor. I don't know if he is insightful or not, never heard of him before. Regardless, words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words words

Dril but less pithy.

friedersdorf gonna friedersdorf you could set your watch by it

This guy is a buffoon.

Has anyone told Conor that he isn't required to post a take on everything that happens? Even like really important and newsworthy events. If you haven't been following the trial, you are allowed to just sit this one out.

Not just allowed - encouraged even

In a 50 way tie for dumbest person on the internet Conor is somehow winning

Amazing work. Jeffrey Goldberg must have tears in his eyes.

Facts and context? I don’t know her.

Conor simply too dim to understand the what he’s writing about

goddamn I haven't seen a "but her emails" in years

Bots find a way?

Conor is so certain he’s a very smart and insightful man, and the combination of arrogance and absolute lack of ability is really something.

Actually, I think of 2016 all the time and lmao.

That's the most mealy mouthed, milquetoast take I've seen in a very long time.
