did you have a braverman google alert?

no I remembered Yale classes were starting and wanted to see if he showed for class, checked the #EricBraverman and the news was there on twitter....

It was always a pretty bizarre theory. You usually don't get declared missing by people who don't know you.

ZalesMcMuffin ago

What theory do you mean?

AreWeSure ago

There was this theory that Eric Bravermen was missing based on nothing at all other than the fact he hasn't tweeted in a while. The theory was he was in hiding because he was going to tell the Russians or the FBI or Interpol or Reddit all that he knew. There literally was a fake new site that said he went to the Russian embassy to defect.

OK, I thought there was more to it than just Twitter silence, but I'll take your word for that for the moment.

So if he's not missing, where is Eric Braverman now?

AreWeSure ago

He was only missing in the same universe where Hillary Clinton has had dozens of her enemies killed. However, a lot of people choose to live in that universe. There was a bunch of nittering online about him and then a fake news website claimed he turned himself into the Russian embassy, but that was the whole "more to it." It was just a people in no position to know making big claims. Where is he? He is probably in the exact same places he was before he was declared missing. The internet is not life.

Hugh Trolan? Hillary and Bill's body count is a thing. If you don't think so, it's you living in a make-believe world. But back to Braverman, you evidently don't know where he is either. I appreciate your devil's advocacy most of the time, but it is strange for us all to be unable to locate someone relatively high-profile, and it's also strange to make like that isn't strange. It's not just the Internet. Nobody seems to be able to find him via any means at all.

Simple stuff. WHERE is Eric Braverman? "He isn't missing" is not an answer to that question. It's an answer to a different question. "He is probably..." is also not an answer to the question of where he is. It's just a guess. We shouldn't have to guess, and the longer we do have to, the more rational suspicion becomes.

Hillary and Bill's body count is a thing........Yeah, but it's a fake thing.

What's this nonsense that you shouldn't have to guess where he is? Why are you entitled to that?

No, I don't know where Braverman is. Why would I? I didn't know where we he was last April when he wasn't missing. Just like I didn't know in December when he was "missing". Only difference was people on the internet convinced themselves he was.

Nobody seems to be able to find him? Balderdash. His family, friends, and colleagues, his students couldn't find him?

ZalesMcMuffin ago

A fake thing? Wow, so persuasive. I guess all those people really did shoot themselves in the back of the head, then, because you said so.

I guess you aren't interested in finding Braverman, either, so it seems we're done here.

AreWeSure ago

What's to find about Braverman? He seems excited about his new job and working on climate/environment issues. Check his tiwtter. His Yale class begins next week.

And yes, absolutely fake.

Well, I see he is indeed tweeting again, apparently. That was the longest interval between tweets for him in years. Just a case of post-election blues?

AreWeSure ago

He was never a big tweeter. Months off was not unusual
