If you arenāt clued into #MedievalTwitter, you really are being quite the knaveāitās arguably the best, often sassiest way outside of a grad student TAās breakout session to learn all about world history circa 1200 CE. Unfortunately, a lot of people out there remain unaware of #MedievalTwitterās existence, including, it seems, The New Yorker, who learned firsthand this week just how savage takedowns can be from nerds well-versed on Saxon poetry, Islamic-Papal relations in 1032, and other such obscurities.
I'm not clued into Twitter. This was fun though. The best part is that The New Yorker is standing by their article which is pretty damn sad.

The New Yorker learned firsthand earlier this week that you don't fuck around with #MedievalTwitter.
