not sure i have ever actually seen #kcco on a tweet, might mean i just am living the right way

there was some guy named dwayne i followed, they were funny for awhile but then kept posting a ton about their music and i got off the train. guessing it's the same person?

i, ron e

i hope somewhere in america a person is explaining twitter to relatives and has to answer a question about pisspiggranddad

why is there a wizard idgi

i put him in there

dwayne usually disappears for about a month then comes back with a different name, posts a lot for a couple of days, then disappears again.

dwayne was @collatingbones originally but he hasn't been that for a long time. he did the simpsons marijuana thing and some other similar brief gimmicks

was he the one selling minivans

How many new followers would I get if I go fight ISIS?

Not as much as if you joined ISIS iirc

not PissPigGrandpa but saw that some other anarchist guy who joined PPG died in Rojava

its sad he didnt have any weird twitter street cred

truly, he died in vain rip

Cum-filled sweatsock Jeffrey Wells of Hollywood Elsewhere steps in it on Twitter, doesn't understand why everyone is so mad at him now:

sometimes I feel like those little reading exercises that emphasize "context clues" that elementary kids have should be given to horrible conversationalists

"so, this guy has been avoiding movies with grieving and loss and has given a specific period of time. do you think that at that time, he was grieving?" *points to picture of man at movie theater*

lol

I love the way this guy's moral compass is "you should only call strangers "little pussy" on the internet if you have no reason to think they've suffered a recent death in the family"

overall the verdict is: too many tweets

On Nov. 7, the hashtag #pizzagate first appeared on Twitter. Over the next several weeks, it would be tweeted and retweeted hundreds or thousands of times each day.

An oddly disproportionate share of the tweets about Pizzagate appear to have come from, of all places, the Czech Republic, Cyprus and Vietnam, said Jonathan Albright, an assistant professor of media analytics at Elon University in North Carolina. In some cases, the most avid retweeters appeared to be bots, programs designed to amplify certain news and information.

“What bots are doing is really getting this thing trending on Twitter,” Albright said. “These bots are providing the online crowds that are providing legitimacy.”

Online, the more something is retweeted or otherwise shared, the more prominently it appears in social media and on sites that track “trending” news. As the bots joined ordinary Twitter users in pushing out Pizzagate-related rumors, the notion spread like wildfire. Who programmed the bots to focus on that topic remains unknown.

Is it really so hard to purge all the eggs and obvious bot accounts? What value does all that sewage bring to the business?

Monthly active uniques

though it turns out you can't trade those in for dollars

germany is calling this "automated opinion shaping":

silby otm except you can exchange them for $ via referrals. the volume for a particular hashtag / account / referral combo is small but with bots working on several thousand hashtags a day you can start to accumulate a critical mass. a less automated version of this is the entire basis of most online publishing. i imagine a crackdown is possible (and is happening) but i also imagine that it's an arms race that will be difficult to win.

anton newcombe called cassandra fairbanks a cow, right here on twitter dot com

those dont sound like real ppl

they sound like dickens chars

yah I feel like I have heard tangentially of one name and the other seems fake. but it could go the other way

I notably have a fictional name in the "too plausibly real" real tho

Julia Ioffe has been sacked by Politico for the tweet referenced here:

https://mobile.twitter.com/leahmcelrath/status/809171829248196608

to be fair, trump is probably fucking his daughter

"Gratuitous opinion had no place, anywhere, at any time"

Trump probably cool about being rumoured to be fucking his daughter tbh, as long as his daughter is widely acknowledged as hott

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/donald-trump-twitter-emoji-crooked-hillary-232647

that ioffe tweet was obv stupid and indecorous and in a perfect world she deserves some sort of punishment for that but probably also important to remember that the president-elect of the united states more or less rose to power saying stuff pretty similar to that

all journalists should tweet incest jokes about the president

when the president does it that means that it is not poor twitter etiquette

news org shd adopt an "anything goes" policy on twitter baby!
