It’s Friday, so why not discuss a moron? A little over a month ago Donald Trump ranted that New York was “boring” and “will die in the near future” and now he’s back at it again. Only this time, he added New York columnist Jonathan Chait to his list.

.@nymag is a piece of garbage but I think it is very nice & charitable that they employ the no-talent illiterate hack @jonathanchait.

The problem here (well, one of the problems) is that to be a hack, you sort of have to be literate. But hey, it was a nice try.

Warren Buffett, the savior of small newspapers, has joined Twitter. His first tweet:

Warren is in the house.

— Warren Buffett (@WarrenBuffett) May 2, 2013

Fantastic. Buffett is truly all that and a bag of chips.

Oh, and here’s a video of him sending that tweet (sent during a Fortune interview) if you’re into that kind of wacky fun.

The Associated Press’ Twitter account has been hacked. A few moments ago, its official Twitter sent out a scary note that President Obama had been hurt in two explosions at the White House. The tweet:

Obviously it caught plenty of attention, but the AP’s Sam Hanannel quickly posted that the account had been hacked. The AP Twitter account is now listed as “suspended.”

Here’s a look at what FishbowlNY stories made the most buzz this week.

1) Donald Trump Blasts New York in Twitter Rant

2) Cat Marnell Gets $500,000 for Memoir

3) Bravo Orders 17 New Series in Major Programming Expansion

4) AP Drops “Illegal Immigrant”

5) Lesley Messer Leaves People for ABC News

Let the record show that if you publish slightly critical commentary about Donald Trump, he will blast back on Twitter and it will be fun for everyone involved. When New York’s Daily Intelligencer posted about Trump’s appearance on David Letterman, Trump responded by firing off a series of hilarious tweets. Here they are, for our enjoyment.

A vague insult followed by an odd prediction backed by no evidence whatsoever is a great start.

Michael Bloomberg has never been shy about admitting his utter disdain for social networking. Given the opportunity to comment about Twitter or Facebook, Bloomberg will trash it as much as possible. Here’s the latest example, captured by Capital New York:

Number one, I don’t understand why people don’t understand that anything you write, anything you send out, is gonna be retweeted, re-Facebooked, re-this, re-that. You should write down, number one, only things you believe, and number two, then think about how it would look if somebody else sees it. There are just a lot of young kids who are doing things on their Twitter account, their Facebook account, that later on is gonna come back and bite them.

Re-Facebooked! Oh man, we love it.

The irony here, of course, is that this is all coming from Bloomberg, who — despite staying away from the evils of social networking — has said plenty of stupid things.

Regarding Chris Dorner, Ebony tweeted the above. Well played Ebony, well played.

The other day, Ulanda Williams, a 32-year-old social worker, fell through an Upper East Side sidewalk while waiting for a bus. The Queens resident told the New York Post that doctors claimed her size (she stands 6’5″ and weighs 400 pounds) was the only thing that kept her from suffering more than just a broken arm.

Rupert Murdoch heard about Williams and took to Twitter to express his thoughts:

Apparently the execs at The New York Times do not have a sense of humor. The paper complained to Twitter about a parody account, called @NYTOnIt, which posted many ridiculous and obviously stupid trend stories published by the Times. The account is now suspended. A sample tweet from NYTOnIt was “Guys, boys want muscles and the Times is ON IT.”

According to Poynter, the paper said that the account’s use of the Times “T” is a violation of its trademark. Never mind that the NYTOnIt account, written by Benjamin Kabak, has an altered logo and even includes “This is a parody account clearly not associated with any newspaper” in its bio.

Eileen Murphy, spokesperson for the Times, admitted to Poynter that the paper had complained.
