I took a lot of screenshots of social media in May and June of 2020. By April 2020 I had evolved from an early Covidian to a repentant sinner.
By May I was off the reservation entirely. Then came the mostly peaceful riots of 2020.
Ashley Bouder was until recently a principal ballerina at the New York City Ballet. She became increasingly shrill about politics after Trump’s first election in 2016, wearing a pink pussy hat to rehearsal, making open accusations (never substantiated) of widespread sexual harassment at the company. She finally left the company in 2025 after gaining 20 pounds and becoming unwatchable. Summer of 2020 was a big hoot to her. “Property violence” - which included burning down essential businesses in black neighborhoods, was OK. Things can be replaced. Like pharmacies, grocery stores, and walk-in clinics, Ashley? What if our neighborhood (she lives not far from me) were burned down.
June 4, 2020:
Rasmussen was a huge Covid fascist. Suddenly gatherings became OK. I think this was when Nate Silver had enough. May 31, 2020:
Melody Cooper is Chris Cooper’s sister. Chris Cooper is the black gay rights activist who taunted Amy Cooper in Central Park, making a big deal out of nothing. Many top NYC pols got down on the knee, while crime soared. She is a mid-level show biz twat. Look at that dog. Really scary.
“Formerly Huffpost.” He looks a lot older nowadays. Being a leftwing barnacle does age you.
Here is what he wrote on May 31, 2020. No, shithead, the police do not routinely terrorize this city. Criminals and leftist thugs do. You look as if you’ve aged 50 years in 5 years. Die soon, and perform addition by subtraction.

It is true that SoHo has a lot of rich idiots and it’s Dan Goldman’s district, but normal people live there as well. A friend of mine does.
Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore “is genderqueer and uses she/her pronouns.[17] She has described herself as, "A genderqueer, faggot, and a queen, on the trans continuum, in a gender bending, gender blur kind of place. But the words I relate to the most are probably 'faggot' and 'queen.' 'Queer' would be more of a broader political identity." Being a destroyed person, the only thing he loves is destruction.
Sarah Parcak is a tenured prof of archaeology at U Alabama. Why do they always have faces like this?
Here she is urging people not to pull down the Washington Monument on 6/1. Geddit?1
More of Ashley Bouder, 6/2/20. She’s so testy.
Tiler Peck, an otherwise completely apolitical ballerina with the NYC Ballet was all, complete with a little fist icon. At least she never gave us her pronouns, as many other NYCB dancers have. (One is nonbinary.) On June 2, 2020, the entire NYC cultural establishment fell in one sweeping moral collapse. As far as I’m concerned, it hasn’t gotten up yet.
Who can forget the then-mayor threatening Jews on June 3, 2020? This was right after the city was racked by violent riots. His response was to threaten Jews. Schumer and Nadler said nothing.
June 4, “some things are important enough to risk it.” Some people wanted to go to funerals, you shithead.
On 6/6/20: “Saks 5th Avenue is wrapped in razor wire to prevent looting.”
I have many more. This is enough for one poast.
The oppressed of Soho, Manhattan are finally free thanks to mostly peaceful and overwhelmingly altruistic raiding of the Versace Store.
I’d forgotten how bad it was (and not just the slogans).
“I will understand, but will never understand but I stand…” or something. Maybe.
“Open your lobby”? Why? So you can burn the fucker down?
