It’s 2016. Which means that it’s time to take all of this [expletive deleted] more seriously. Note that I did not say ‘entirely seriously:’ there’s still room for things like this tweet.
Tremble, political journos: our days of insisting it's not even 2016 yet are swiftly coming to an end

But the days of hibernation are at an end.
It is time, it is past time, for people to stop trying to force events into their preconceptions and instead try to examine the event on its own merits. Unlike politicians, many other people do actually say what they mean and perhaps they should be taken seriously.
To mangle Tolkien, “now come the days of the bullshit artists…..”
