one thing twitter has actually been good for: disabusing me of any residual inferiority complex I had towards certain groups of people, particularly academics, lawyers and high profile journalists

academics being just as dumb as the rest of us as soon as you step a centimeter outside their area of expertise was a great revelation ya

Doing history at university and seeing the childish spats in journals did that for me.

many xp but I got "scammed" by the Ayn Rand cult son dude, as in, we are FB friends, he asked me for a hand-out, I gave it to him, I don't care if he's in a cult, I hope he's doing OK

I don't mind embedded tweets here, but they are uniformly awful elsewhere

for being a quasi failing website its crazy how many places tweets show up, like news tv is 95% tweets
― lag∞n, Sunday, 24 March 2019 15:42 (five years ago) link
yes those are perhaps the worst save the occasional prank tweet which seems to get past the screener/anchor with ease
― rip van wanko, Sunday, 24 March 2019 15:56 (five years ago) link
all tweets are prank tweets

no, it doesn't, i literally used my ad-blocker to block everything from twitter and they still show up as quoted inline text
i don't know what else to do at this point

"I wouldn't be at all surprised if Dril ends up making as significant a contribution to the English language as Shakespeare."

didn't actually know the "please help me budget" snowclone was a dril and when i saw it i did think "ha it's like how shakespeare is all cliches"

yeah i do find remarks like "We live in an age completely dominated by the fact of the internet" fatuous. thought the same thing about the lockwood piece
― difficult listening hour, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 17:50 (five years ago) link
no idea why tom whyman keeps getting commissioned - fatuous is exactly right. his pieces are always one paragraph on some internet thing, a paragraph of surface level reading of some philosopher, paragraph or two of inane personal anecdote, and then a "so in the final analysis it's all political" conclusion
he wrote an article on that thing about throwing cheese slices at babies the other week that makes this this dril article (which is a rewrite of one he's already written at least once) look like kierkegaard

interesting because the lockwood piece is not about this at all
― flopson, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 22:58 (five years ago) link
i enjoyed the lockwood piece but felt it framed problems of human consciousness and communication that date to the invention of text as phenomena emerging from the author and her buds' doggo posts; halfway thru it explicitly acknowledged this and then was literally like "look this up lol?" before returning to a few more thou words of "the portal brought the dictator". nb tho i read it on acid.
― difficult listening hour, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 23:16 (five years ago) link
also kinda think there is a media class that thinks everyone is on twitter all the time, and they aren't.
― difficult listening hour, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 23:20 (five years ago) link
it was much more interesting than this clickbait about dril, to be clear.
