Apparently he went on a Twitter rant and hasn't posted since his apology and he hasn't done his weekly livestream yet

No idea, but here's his apology (too lazy to upload a screenshot)

Alton Brown

@altonbrown

Nov 11

I apologize for the flippant reference I made to the Holocaust in my tweet last night. It was not a reference I made for humorous effect but rather to reflect how deeply frightened I am for our country. It was a very poor use of judgement and in poor taste

hypnox posted... but rather to reflect how deeply frightened I am for our country.

Considering that Biden has backed some radical promises like expanding SCOTUS to stack the court, I know I'm a little worried about the new four years myself. Up until this election, Biden had a history of trending a bit more moderate but he's unabashedly adopted schemes from the furthest left fringes of the party (like cribbing the GND but changing some of the timelines).

Then there his problematic ties to foreign interests via his son's wheeling & dealing; ordinarily I'd write that off as the swamp being the swamp, if not for the fact that one of those places is *China* which literally just subverted the WHO.

EDIT: I'm not sure where he was going exactly with his original tweets, which I hadn't seen.

Granted, when I posted, it was before I saw his actual jokes, it was only in reference to his apology (Helly sniped me while I was looking up Alton's wikipedia, etc). I'll amend my post accordingly to reduce confusion.

We have to be offended 100% of the time or we're not "woke" enough.
