Twitter C/D

hmmm, looks like they've finally made it where you can't click through to read full threads/replies without creating a Twitter account and logging in. that's a lot of time i won't be wasting anymore!

Try clearing your cookies. I've been dealing with that in incognito only for some reason (still get the popup in normal chrome but can just X out normally) and even then, if you open the tweet in a new tab you should be able to scroll normally. This is for PC only, I can't get it to work on mobile.

yeah go in your browser and block twitter cookies. in chrome it's like "never allow cookies from this site" or something.

in your browser *settings* i mean

ha, i was kinda celebrating the idea of just not reading twitter threads anymore, but i went ahead and did that, thanks y'all.

I've been a twitter user for years, but have been using it a lot more in the past month or so (I know, probably a bad sign) and noticed something kinda fucked up. I was wondering if any more advanced users here could help me out.

I followed someone a couple weeks ago because I really wanted to see their tweets. I was like "I like this person and want to keep on top of what they're up to." Since then, I spent way too much time on twitter and never saw any tweets from that account. Just now I remembered that I had followed them, and went to check their profile - they had been tweeting the whole time! Meanwhile, I had seen some posts in the timeline multiple times. Like as if twitter was showing them to me again because it had run out of content.

Do you have to tweak some setting on Twitter in order to see all the content from the people you follow?

There’s a little toggle (top right on my app) where you can choose for your feed to display chronological or “highlights,” might be that?

Thank you! I'll give it a shot.

This worked so well! It doesn't help that the toggle for "Latest Tweets" just looks like a decorative little star. I have since been able to see the tweets of the person I followed*. So thank you Finefinemusic! Also seems to have had the beneficial side-effect of doing away with those irritating "Marky Ramone and Nile Rodgers liked Bette Midler's tweet" recommendations.

*Juni Ba, for the record. And it's not that he is some ultimate tweetmaster or something. It's just that he made a graphic novel I really like - Djeliya. It fucking rules.

ha, i was kinda celebrating the idea of just not reading twitter threads anymore,

oh believe me, I KNOW

i like how broken this website is, never fix it

definitely the "secret of their success" is being bad at optimizing

Glad it worked, peace, man! The icon makes me scratch my head too.

this is one of the best threads I've ever seen

lmao you’re not kidding

Tulum??????

These people are 60% crab leg/ 30% iced coffee/ and 10% vape pen

it’s incredible

every line an instant classic

do you know what a group chat is? you better learn cause you finna be the topic

you don’t have the cholesterol to be out here

at this point i’m just going to repost every tweet in the thread is that okay

all they do is start podcast and talk about plate fixing

it is very good

if it was only the word "panny" it would already be of immeasurable worth

lmao one of my oldest buds has a 500+ like reply to that thread that is just like “wow do I love my wife”

thread reminded me vividly of a few terrifying conversations I had when I went back to grad school and met a bunch of single 20-somethings navigating life in a new city

More companies should just buy a bunch of land somewhere and build company towns. Pay people to move five minutes from the office. Reap the employee satisfaction.

"phd labor historian"

*leaves thread*

there's an inverse correlation between how funny a joke is and how labored the setup is

stop turning everything into skits

anyway dud

I believe in you.
That's it. That's the whole tweet. That's all it needs to be.
If I can do it, so can you.

Twitter is badly in need of a copy editor

i scanned his tweets and thought "seems like a hard working american to me, i don't know"

That's too bad! I just had him banned for doing a "that's it that's the tweet" and then writing more anyway

🐦[I believe in you.
That’s it. That’s the whole tweet. That’s all it needs to be.
If I can do it, so can you.

oops

just a little oopsie

hey who wants to invest in our unmonetizeable garbage fire

unnecessarily harsh sloganeering for this year's ilx fundraiser imho

Joyce Carol Oates is really tearing it up on Twitter lately, getting ratioed left and right. The latest outrage involving some speculation about non-binary pronouns’ acceptance in English

that was painful to see

she did title one of her great novels Them. They is not much of a stretch

love how she has an open mind about isis but considers halloween decorations an absolute insult to life itself

she’s a literary-minded 83 year old

i mean so am i but that doesnt stop me from correctly ranking isis and halloween on the evilness chart

lot of self confidence from the literary sect on all fronts

don't hate her, she has written some pretty great novels

i dont hate her most of her tweets are pretty funny, part of what makes it work is shell have some harebrained idea but then the tweets are really compellingly written because obvs shes good at writing, and its also funny because shes a famous writer basically just out there shitposting, and shes old too lol, its all pretty delightful, the transphobic ones are actually bad tho

I guess her most jaw-dropping tweet to date, for me, was the one from several years ago where she suggested that clinically depressed people should simply read some Ancient Greek drama.

Tbf god knows I’ve made some terrible tweets (normally quickly deleted) and I generally appreciate people who don’t filter their thoughts too much or apologize too freely
