Sorry to Wolf Blitzer and his eponymous Wolf Spritzer at El Presidente restaurant in D.C., but 24-hour news channels aren’t were people get their most vital updates anymore. It’s not newspapers, it’s not radio, it’s not people gathering outside a department store to watch the wall of TVs in the widow. It’s Pop Crave. And Pop Base, Poo Crave, Pop Tingz, and of course Club Chalamet. That is, if no one in your life loves you enough to personally send you the slutty, emoji-filled chain text. When President Joe Biden announced that he would no longer be seeking a second term, the Twitter accounts of record got to posting. We’ve rounded up their Biden-dropping-out announcements as well as some deets on what they were covering immediately before. Here’s how they all framed the news that, for once and for all, it’s Joever.
Pop Crave’s last non-Biden post was announcing the seventh anniversary of Lana Del Rey’s Lust for Life.
Before Biden’s announcement, Pop Base was celebrating ex–Little Mixer Jade debuting on the U.K. charts at No. 2 with “Angel of my Dreams.”
Before Biden dropped out, Discussing Film was quoting Keanu Reeves in the Guardian, re the alt-right use of redpill. “Aaah, it doesn’t sound that great to me?” he said. “But I don’t know. It’s art, right? So I don’t know. I mean, it’s like … yeah. I guess people … yeah. Take it and run with it?”
Pop Tingz’s last post before the world fell out of the coconut tree was about Blackpink’s planned comeback and 2025 world tour.
Before Biden’s announcement, Americana at Brand Memes was envisioning a Twisters that takes place in L.A. called Santa Anas.
Before swearing fealty to Muad’Dib Kamala Harris, Club Chalamet was asking people to follow it on IG.
At time of publication, Poo Crave has yet to weigh in.
Liza Minnelli most recently outlived Bob Newhart.
Before Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, Da Share Z0ne was demanding Joe Biden drop out of the 2024 presidential race.
ITYSL_memes was doing a lot of reposting before the news broke.
Socialist Soprano Memes has not posted today. Is it because it respects the (union-created) 40-hour workweek?
