Twitter C/D

why are so many of the posts on my TL today from suggested topics? I don't want to follow any topics

One annoying thing they should fix is how when someone posts a thread, as you're scrolling down the TL, you'll first see the whole thread, then some ways further down, you'll see the same thread again but minus the last post, then if you keep scrolling you'll see the same thread yet again but minus the last 2 posts, and so forth and so on.

I guess twitter was a factor though:

The amount of bitching on Twitter & on stand-up stages about how much suffering dudes go through not using the R-word inspired that line. #Peacemaker #PeacemakerParty https://t.co/rHnU2l2l95

yes, this drives me crazy, I hate seeing the same posts over and over

xp, well i think that just shows that he's awake!

Why is it so incredibly hard to find old tweets? For fuck’s sake Twitter I just want to search amongst my followers list to find a tweet from a couple weeks ago that mentioned ILM 2021 Tracks Poll winners Wet Leg.

There is literally no way to do this. All the top minds are working on it but it's been proven impossible. Once that tweet drops off your screen it's gone forever.
(I think you can fiddle with the search settings - but it still never finds what I'm looking for)

I don't find this hard, except when it's something someone I follow has retweeted, and then it's pretty much impossible.

Love how it sticks a large blue distracting button at the top of the screen saying "View latest tweets" when I am already doing precisely that.

i’ve been getting ads from canadian veterans affairs informing me that there’s support for former soldiers or mounties with ptsd. which is odd because i’m not a veteran, or canadian, or even in canada

Some will say that watching a beloved character die in a nuclear hellfire was traumatic for children, I think it toughens them up.

my guess is you probably view content that originates from canada

xp - Not sure if Neanderthal is referring to that dumb actor's poem or the Arthur finale there. lol

war makes it a lot dudder than usual

ban all blue checks for the next month

Perhaps the biggest risk-calculation/moral dilemma of the war so far. A massive Russian convoy is abt 30 miles from Kyiv. The US/NATO could likely destroy it. But that would be direct involvement against Russia and risk, everything. Does the West watch in silence as it rolls?

We are witnessing the first geopolitical ‘cancellation’ of the 21st century.

oh god my eyes

The first columnist who can compare the Ukraine invasion to the UPenn swim team gets a no prize

national tv correspondents are the source of so many of the very worst takes

if you get all your news online its easy to forget how bad tv is

Are you freaks just sitting around in the NBC Slack fantasizing about how bold it would be to start World War III https://t.co/UVsnjDSL0H

I understand at least the frustration that this is happening and feeling helpless to stop it, but cosplaying an 80s action film with C Thomas Howell to your Twitterbase is a pretty bad look.

I'm a pacifist and I want there to be some simple way to solve this but it's naive to think it exists.

(Ukraine thread has been mega helpful the last few weeks)

"Remember, the Russians invaded Afghanistan back in 1980," Hillary Clinton says. "It didn't end well for the Russians...but the fact is, that a very motivated, and then funded, and armed insurgency basically drove the Russians out of Afghanistan." pic.twitter.com/iirtXI4vz4

The Internet’s Response To Ukraine Has Been Peak Cringe

Like a rich child opening presents on Christmas day.

More Stingers to Ukraine! More javelins! More drones!

Thanks Buzzfeed, now I know what a “thirst trap” is. I’m gonna go throw up.

that's an interesting reaction to learning what a thirst trap is

on the other hand i'm just discovering lil bubby child

I haven't noticed Raymond Pettibon tweet in a couple of years before the Ukraine invasion and hoo boy should he have kept that streak going.

feel like we’re getting meltdown may early this year. meltdown march!

I believe this is called ‘tweeting through it’

Their arguments reminded me of MLKs frustration with the "moderates" while he sat in jail in Birmingham. That's who I had in mind when I wrote that tweet. Let me quote him. 8/

omfg

OH FUCKING DIE MCFAUL

is there an official name for mediocre white people invoking MLK in a way that doesn't remotely support what they were tweeting in an effort to earn a mic drop on Twitter

or shall we call it McFauling

Pika pika!

Can you just shut the fuck up, PLEASE. You follow me, so I know you'll see this. Shut up with your idiotic calls from your DC mansion for others to risk their lives.

twitter updating me on Ukraine daily as notifications despite my clicking the "show less of this" button every time

I don't mean on the TL but as a notification

a bit unfair since McFaul is like the millionth person to do this
