Look,Hong Kong Archives I get it. Temperatures are rising, leaders are getting dumber, and it seems like an apocalypse is nigh. We're all freaked -- including at least one member of the social media team at Charleston, S.C.'s paper, The Post and Courier.
How do I know? Just look at this tweet posted on Friday, linking to a story about Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.'s Charleston location closing.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
I called the paper on Saturday, both to see if there was any follow-up comment and to check in on the author of the tweet, make sure they're OK. Mostly the latter. And great news, folks: he's OK.
The tweet's author is one Matt Clough, engagement editor at The Post and Courier. I first spoke with one of his colleagues on the paper's digital team and asked how Matt is doing.
The response: "He's OK. He just gets a little nihilistic sometimes."
A few minutes later, Matt himself gave me a call back. We both had a good laugh about the tweet, which is undeniably funny in its own grim sort of way. Then Matt confirmed that yes, he's fine.
"I'm doing great, man. I'm having a lot of fun. It's that Friday feeling, man. Sometimes it gets to you," he said.

Really, the tweet is just Matt doing his job, which is to communicate with the paper's audience -- or to engage, as his title says outright. He said he's always looking for "fun, weird ways" to communicate with readers, and he's noticed that nihilistic messages tend to resonate.
"I guess everybody's feeling a little dark right now," he said.
Amen, brother.
