Occasionally you run into something that looks like Weird Twitter but really isn't. A selection of Twitter user https://twitter.com/rob_slash05 reveals a deeply malevolent intelligence wreaking havoc on Toronto, and one with no apparent understanding of the distinction between Twitter, email, and postal mail.

We've had a little bit of chatter about this on the Pronunciation Thread, maybe enough for a dedicated thread? Or maybe not, it'll be old news pretty soon.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 17:06 (twelve years ago)
reported by susan orlean lol http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/elements/2013/09/horse-ebooks-and-pronunciation-book-revealed.html

Susan Orlean is also performing at the installation today, reportedly.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 17:59 (twelve years ago)
wait until they reveal that Susan Orlean was horse_ebooks before September 2011

The shocking part isn't her lack of legs, it's what she chose to do without them.

I never thought a pizza party could end centuries of ethnic cleansing. Then I saw this.
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 20:11 (twelve years ago)
on BuzzFeed.com you can literally go to an article about drone strikes or a 10y.o. who murdered his father in cold blood and vote them "LOL" and "WIN" and then include a gif of you smiling with Respond With A GIF, Sponsored By Starbucks Frappuccino
― Andrew Kornfan, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 20:35 (twelve years ago)
everyone who works there should be killed share this if you agree most are too afraid
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 20:42 (twelve years ago)
like obviously I'm speaking from 22y.o. youthful naivete privilege here but there are genuinely a billion other websites to work for that aren't as awful. it's not like capitalism, where it's inescapable and you're forced to work within the system or perish (although within the year it probably will be lol). I'll drop the subject tho
― Andrew Kornfan, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 20:52 (twelve years ago)
aren't they all the same awful, though? or travel in the same circles of awful?
― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 21:03 (twelve years ago)
