Something’s been missing from this latest Anthony Weiner scandal. Thankfully, Vox is here to fill the void:

Anthony Weiner and the rise of dick pics, explained https://t.co/7hQOppXIeJ

— Vox (@voxdotcom) August 30, 2016

Is this something that really needed to be explained?

I'm glad NBC gave Vox $200M so they could explain dick pics to us.

Oh well. If nothing else, Vox’s explainer has left a wide opening for a poke at Matt Yglesias:

So it wasn’t a total waste of time.
