Even a precog can twirl a baton with enough practice.

@2 I assume the “precog” bit was that they would have to be able to predict the content to write something about it ahead of time. Thus they would be “talented” specifically at precognition. And the comment was intended sarcastically… because of course precogs do not exist. (You’re welcome! Always happy to provide a pedantic explanation of a joke. It makes them that much funnier.) (I did get the joke, right?)
That said, I suspect these are just people who kneejerk at “social justice” and not even claimants to some putative precog ability. (Also guessing PZ’s point was along the same lines.)
Is the horse dead yet? can keep whipping.

@6 By the time you had finished I had forgotten what the joke was…
Maybe they simply wanted to beat the rush. :/
Isn’t “talented precog” an oxymoron?
nomdeplume, no.
But it will be.
