A few weeks back, I wrote about the number 69 hitting the Pa. Pick Two drawing.
Well, Thursday was June 9. Or 6/9.
Nice.
Lo and behold, a 69-related Tweet of mine ended up in a 69 think piece on NY Magazine’s website on 6/9.
Impromptu collaboration on the web is always an intensely satisfying moment, and accumulating a large stack of “nice” is great — even more so when it happens in traditionally combative forums like the area beneath a presidential tweet. The 69 is bipartisan. Red states and blue states have both voted “nice” on Proposition 69. Make America 69 Again. There are many responses to Obama’s tweet that are not “nice,” but that’s to be expected. There are still many people saying “nice,” and that’s … nice.
Thanks, Obama!
