Twitter C/D

and of course the left has a long and often comic occasionally tragic history of internal ideological struggles

occasionally ice pick

sometimes gulag

there's a kind of "moral absolutism" inherent to post-enlightenment politics of both the right and left (cf. reinhart koselleck's "critique and crisis") that makes compassion and justice not exactly opposites but not entirely overlapping either.

but "social compassion warrior" probably wouldn't catch on as well.

idk I get confused whenever someone brings up the enlightenment. the way Twitter constantly streams real-time, seems like it's easier 'be right' than to be kind when talking politics

imo being right is goo

d but we shd all try to be more complete ppl too

but if theres a platform that tends toward owns and oneupsmanship thats ok twitter is not life

or at least it shdnt be lol

"yeah imagine feeling the need to go to the same website every single day and enter 100 pithy messages into a box to get approval from strangers.

Heh well played but even then yeah, there are better options than twitter for this, I mean twitter usage objectively makes u an awful person so why wouldn't u seek alternatives

Also lagoons run of posts since are inspiring and teach me how 2 live

la-good haha

the idea that twitter "makes" you do cliched twitter shit is silly imo. you can be cognizant of what people do and just choose not to. i don't have to quit having a couple beers a week because alcoholics exist. i don't have to leave ilx because lj exists (although it's tempting sometimes).

lol

o lol s** j** blocked me because i think i follow some account she doesn't like or something. i've tweeted nothing on this entire mess. *shrug*

who r u on Twitter s clover

yeah some ppl def use block lists to auto block anyone who follows certain ppl ive run across a few accounts that have me blocked that i def never interacted with before

I'm signed up for the ggautoblocker

lagoon i blocked you manually in full command of my senses

tough but fair

this is why I like lag∞n on Twitter, he is a consistently successful retweeter

The percentage of professional punditry that is based on and shaped by fights with random people on Twitter is very high & rapidly growing.

a lot of hard right/g*mergate people are freaking out about twitter's "trust and safety council" and some recent (if u want my opinion i think TWTR should be more transparent about why it does what it does, and be as clear as possible about the difference between harassment and mere bigotry)

but in the above blog post, known shitbag reveals himself to have been behind and even more vicious and repeatedly-suspended account. surprise surprise.

If my workplace's conference budget wasn't in flux until this past week I'd be at a conference with @fart right now
