Read on Twitter
One of the first exciting episodes of my career came in the early 2010s, when, in a classic state of high Twitter dudgeon, I tweeted that climate deniers should face something like Nuremberg trials some day. Yeah. Dumb. Rush Limbaugh picked up on it ...
... & did a whole segment on his radio show about it. Radical environmentalists want to put you on trial for doubting their religion! I became a right-wing meme that survives to this day. My dad heard my name on the radio. I got a *torrent* of hate mail that lasted for weeks.
It never amounted to anything -- they had something else to hate the next day -- but it's the one anecdote I have where my life bumped up briefly against Limbaugh's.
Anyway, he was a vile, wretched man & the world is better off without him. The End.
