No, it's a thing. Keeps getting screenshotted and commented on by legit accounts.
― On a Raqqa tip (ShariVari), Monday, 16 May 2016 04:52 (seven years ago) link
The semi-serious gist being that as long as Twitter doesn't employ any actual people to eyeball promoted content before it hits streams it will be fairly easy for porn companies, racists, etc to use just-about-sfw pictures and innocuous text to trick the algorithms, the cumulative effect being a much harder site to use at work.

lol I ate dinner with my parents at a place with order at counter, deliver to table service over the weekend and the little table placard was number 69
was so hard not to keep saying "nice" during the meal

"hey thanks for dinner, it was really nice" hehehe
did you all eat from each other's plates?

promoted tweet:Ron Miscavige Blog @RMiscavigeblog May 7#RonMiscavige ”memoir” is a lie that whitewashes his sordid history of #DomesticViolence

Bruenig getting slapped on the wrist for going full Bernie Bro on Joan Walsh reminds me of the kid with really strict parents whose mom drags her out of the birthday party like 'oh he's gonna get a spanking tonight, Deborah' cuz she heard him say 'fuck' when shit was getting rowdy in smashbros
― de l'asshole (flopson), Friday, 20 May 2016 18:47 (seven years ago) link
what a weird beef. for me, kind of the opposite of an iran/iraq sitch: "pity they can't all win"
― goole, Friday, 20 May 2016 18:49 (seven years ago) link
Walsh's bio quoting someone called her 'a great spokeslady for our race' is hilariously awful

Damn, that's crazy... I'm sure he'll find a nice gig somewhere soon, very talented guy
― de l'asshole (flopson), Friday, 20 May 2016 23:51 (seven years ago) link
he's an idiot for letting this even happen tho... making nice blog posts about Nordic welfare states does way more for the struggle than being one of the dozens of ppl who tweet 'shut up bitch you supported Iraq' at chait. I get the tone policing argument in general but c'mon, dude is a white guy with a philosophy degree

not really a fan of neera tanden but breunig was kind of all over the place -- his allegation that she supported welfare reform as part of the clinton administration isn't really even true. i'm sure he'll land somewhere better than whatever demos is
― k3vin k., Saturday, 21 May 2016 00:42 (seven years ago) link
bruenig done worse w/ much less powerful ppl and seemed to love getting especially vitriolic w/ women in particular, borderline gamergate type behavior. apparently demos gave him the option of abstaining from harassment on twitter and he refused so they fired him. they're catching heat for firing someone who's about to be a father but i also question his judgment, like what a weird definition of integrity, shades of the gawker guys treating revenge porn like the pentagon papers. he definitely does very good, vital work and hopefully will get hired soon elsewhere, the internet in general but social media especially can amplify and foster some pretty awful behavior from ppl who otherwise would never act that way.

@jonathanchaitFollowing up from my hasty tweets last night, if Demos's account is true, firing @MattBruenig is clearly justifed@HeerJeet@jonathanchait I'm glad to see that you've changed your mind on political correctness.

shame on me for linking to vox but that's a decent overview i think. would love to read something analyzing the effects (which can probably now be said to include long term effects, it's been a generation) of welfare reform, esp on a state by state basis and factoring in the effect on disability, but i can imagine that would be a difficult project and man talk about an issue that virtually nobody on the political spectrum is capable of being objective about.
― balls, Saturday, 21 May 2016 22:38 (seven years ago) link
my sense is that everyone involved sucks (apart from elizabeth bruenig)
i can see why demos wouldn't want to be associated with a guy who ~somehow~ seems to be part of every twitter crisis and lives at defcon 2 wrt the insufficiently pure
sady doyle managed to achieve victimhood despite not actually being involved
twitter brought out the worst in everyone as usual
and none of it rivals anything the presumptive republican candidate tweets every single day

I really could have used $25,000 in donations around the time my daughter was born. Should've taken a part-time paid blogging job and then been a pompous dick in public.
Fuck this guy.
― El Tomboto, Sunday, 22 May 2016 06:25 (seven years ago) link
before i even read that it was just a part-time job, ON TOP OF his lawyering job, i was kind of wondering like, can't you just look for another job? like starting the day after this all happened? or go on unemployment? before THAT?
but given that it was etc etc as above…

If it weren't for the GoFundMe nonsense I would be all "mookie otm" too but maybe I should take that to the irrationally angry thread. JFC I slept on it and still want to go find the guy and tell him he's going to be a crappy dad
