[Ptah]

3. Who is wearing a mask?

[Tipperary]

4. No idea.

We are not all spending the day watching tv, as so many here seem to do.

[Ptah]

6. Who was that masked man?

7. Surely someone will photoshop his pic at the Mayo Clinic with a mask on

wait for it..

[malaise]

13. Who knows?

Too late I say

[Ms. Toad]

11. Context? n/t

[malaise]

12. What context?

Who in America doesn't know that Mother's Boy went to the Mayo Clinic and violated their policy by not wearing a mask? Then he gave a stupid response and this morning his wife lied about not knowing the clinic's policy.
This has been on every newscast for two days.

14. Context

"He's" who? Trump, Pence, the man in the moon? Just because Pence didn't wear a mask at Mayo doesn't connect a generic pronoun to a specific person.
"Wearing a mask" - that's pretty clear.
"Today" - is there some event - perhaps reported with some text, perhaps with a photo that would make clear what the heck you're talking about?

Searching the internet for Pence, mask does not turn up any text or images that would suggest he has changed his practices.

29. In fairness to the OP, this didn't appear online until after

the OP was made. We can consider it an update.

33. He's apparently inheriting Rump's perma-scowl.

Which proves that genetic characteristics can be transmitted by butt-cheek-to-butt-smoochie contact on an ongoing basis. Damn. There goes my research grant.

[Totally Tunsie]

34. LOL. I know, right?

[Amaryllis]

31. What Ms. Toad said. +1000.

[mobeau69]

16. LOL. Seems like there are a couple of these DU context police on every thread lately.

[Ms. Toad]

18. So when an OP doesn't provide enough information for anyone not glued

to the exact same TV channel as the OP, I'm just supposed to think - "Oh well, I'll just remain ignorant."

I assumed it was about Pence - since he is the person most recently in the hot seat for not wearing the mask. That assumption (even if true) gives me no clue what "He's wearing a mask today" refers to.

So I searched for "Pence" + "mask." Absolutely nothing about Pence wearing a mask today.

After doing that, I asked for context. That's not being "context police" - that's asking what the post is about because the OP didn't bother to give enough detail to figure it out. This is supposed to be a discussion board, not a game of "I've Got aSecret."

[mobeau69]

19. Oh please! If a post is over your head just move on to another one.

[Ms. Toad]

23. This post referred to a real event which the OP refused to identify

despite several requests.

I'm perfectly capable of following a link, or even of finding an article if the OP had given enough information for it to be found by a search engine. In other words, it is not "over my head." It is a post devoid of any meaning, without the missing context.

[malaise]

20. Yep

This was up there in the top three stories for two days on network TV, Cable TV and the print media

[Ms. Toad]

27. TODAY'S event was NOT in the top three stories for two days -

since the event happened today.

I searched for any information about Pence wearing a mask today (assuming you were referring to him because of his recent failure to wear a mask), and absolutely nothing turned up.

So your post made no sense. If you don't want to put the context in the original post, how about at least politely responding when at least 4 people asked you about it - instead of giving "squirrel" answers by pointing to recent history that most people do know about - while refusing to identify the actual event today that you are referring to.

30. Please see #29 above.

32. Thanks

21. It is pretty damned irritating that posters expect everybody to be watching the same TV channel...

...or obscure Twit feed.

24. Mommy! Mommy!?

That's the important thing: Is he fucking himself?
