Mmm... you sure you want to tweet that?!

What if Twitter had an “Are you sure?” Button? This week Manny and Nicky discuss the need some people have to tweet every thought they have. They take a look at Neil Degrasse Tyson’s recent tweet discussing the statistics of mortality, right on the heels of 2 deadly mass shootings in one weekend, Dayton, Ohio and El Paso,Tx. Tyson went on to tweet:
“In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings. On average , across any 48hrs, we also lose...
500 to medical errors
300 to the flu
250 to suicide
200 to car accident
40 to homicide via handgun
Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.” Manny did agree with the statistics but also stated this is ill timed. Especially since Tyson himself has been cleared to return to TV after an investigation into his sexual misconduct cleared him. Both Nicky and Manny feel this may have not been the best time to share his opinion. (After the recording of this show, Tyson did release an apology. Link below)

But Neil isn’t the only one tweeting while feeling. Meghan McCain is also facing some backlash for tagging Mindy Kaling in a response tweet to a producer who once worked with Kaling. The producer in question, David Stassen, worked on the “The Mindy Project as a writer /producer with Kaling. McCain announced she will be releasing an audiobook in 2020. Stassen then tweeted “Who the fuck is going to buy this shit?” After catching wind of this tweet, McCain responsed “Sad to find out that you work with someone I greatly admire (and have for a long time)@mindykaling - I know we can’t be judged by everyone we work with it but still. What a cruel thing to say. And my book is for women who are judged for being conservative (among many other people).” Both McCain and Stassen were tweeted with backlash. Many twitter users could’nt understand why McCain thought it necessary to tag Kaling on a post that had nothing to do with her. Especially when McCains husband, Ben Domenech went on a twitter rampage after McCain’s appearance on “Late show with Seth Meyers”. McCain had not responded to her husband’s tweet. Stassen was accused of being mean and rude. Mindy has not publicly responded to the tweet exchange.
