Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
- Historian's Mind: He repeatedly grounds arguments in history — 'If you’re not a student of history you have no business being a student of politics' — showing a temperament that prioritizes context and past precedent.
- Courageous: He publicly addresses fraught moral issues and stands with colleagues in danger, calling @davidrkadler 'a real mensch' and praising his bravery, which indicates moral courage.
- Persistent: His long campaign of analysis about Bari Weiss and the CBS hire — many tweets like 'More on what this means (nothing good) here' — shows sticking with a subject until it's exhausted.
- Media‑literate: Frequent podcast and byline mentions such as 'My column in the new issue of @thenation' and 'Enjoyed talking... on @majorityfm' demonstrate deep fluency in the mediascape.
- Witty: Quips like 'Your haters become your waiters at the table of success' and playful movie comments reveal a knack for sharp, punchy humor.
Weaknesses:
- Polemic: A sustained, single‑minded focus on targets like Bari Weiss — 'the Bari era at CBS' — sometimes reads as relentless polemic rather than dispassionate analysis.
- Confrontational: Direct shaming or blunt calls — e.g., 'She was hired to gut a newsroom she has never worked in' — can alienate moderates or potential allies.
- Single‑issue intensity: His repeated focus on Gaza and institutional failure — 'the Gaza genocide has made plain...' — can make other topics seem deprioritized.
- Less conciliatory: Tweets like 'Many of you failed, morally and analytically' show a moral bluntness that leaves little room for gradual persuasion.
- Echo‑bubbling: A heavy orientation toward left‑leaning publications and interlocutors (The Nation, Jewish Currents, Majority FM) suggests he primarily circulates in sympathetic networks, risking insularity.
Your Simpsons character
Lisa Simpson
Lisa is the ideal Simpsons match: intellectually serious, morally driven, and often frustrated by the compromise of institutions. David’s insistence on moral accountability ('the Gaza genocide has made plain...') and his history‑centric frame ('If you’re not a student of history...') echo Lisa’s combination of idealism and critical reasoning. Both are prone to sigh at the status quo and to keep trying to improve public discourse.
Your MBTI personality Type
INTJ
INTJ fits David: he exhibits dominant introverted intuition in a long‑range focus (writing a book 'THE NEOCON LEGACY (Doubleday, 2027)' and framing present problems historically: 'A reminder that everything that has happened was knowable and predictable on the morning of October 7, 2023'). His thinking function shows in logical, strategic critiques ('Set aside her ideology for a second. She was hired to gut a newsroom...'), while judging traits appear in his drive to organize public argument and hold institutions accountable (repeated columns and podcast appearances). He is not primarily performative for its own sake but instrumental — deploys media appearances to advance arguments — which aligns with INTJ strategy and planning.
Some pickup lines for you
- Are you a book advance? Because I'm already imagining dedicating 'THE NEOCON LEGACY' to you.
- I could be your press axis: I’ll fact‑check your heart and defend your integrity on national radio.
- Forget Bari Weiss — the real takeover I'd worry about is you taking over my playlist when you show me Tokyo photos.
- They say 'your haters become your waiters' — want to skip the crowd and let me fetch us both coffee instead?
- Call me a columnist: I’ll give you a long, well‑sourced argument for why we should go to that movie double‑feature together.

Your new Twitter bio

Your signature cocktail
The Brooklyn Columnist
The 'Brooklyn Columnist' blends cerebral and worldly notes: Japanese whisky nods to his 'long deferred dream' of Tokyo, the dry vermouth gives an editorial dryness that matches his analytic tone, citrus bitters add the sharpness of his polemics ('I still think a lot of people don’t understand...'), and a touch of honey tempers the drink like the humane instincts he shows when praising colleagues in danger. It's a neat, slightly austere cocktail for late‑night writing sessions.
Your Hogwarts House
Ravenclaw
Ravenclaw fits because David privileges intellectual rigor, historical learning, and nuanced argument: 'If you’re not a student of history you have no business being a student of politics' captures that ethos. He pursues longform projects like 'THE NEOCON LEGACY (Doubleday, 2027)' and brings research and context into his media critiques, which is a Ravenclaw pattern. He can be combative, but his combative mode often stems from a desire to correct factual or moral errors rather than pure bravado.
Your movie
Your song
The Times They Are A‑Changin' - Bob Dylan
Dylan’s anthem of social shift matches David’s sense that political and media paradigms are moving — he writes 'my rage at these people has not abated but there’s no denying we are in a new paradigm' and celebrates moments that rearrange elites. The song’s combination of moral urgency and historical register fits his voice.
