It was all reflective garments around here...

2021 was a good year for tweets. Gonna post a thread of some of my favorite. I know it’s gonna seem like some of these are a joke but I promise you they were tweeted in earnest. Going chronologically:

The Joyce Carol Oates skeletons one wins

it's hard to pick one, there are a lot of gems

hamilton insurrection tweet is one of the worst ever imo, hall of fame bad tweet

Yeah the first 10 are really cringey but there are some really funny ones after that

i will seed your eggs

“Walking on egg shelves” slayed me

Pete and Kamala potluck is nauseating

WTF is Wordle and why do all my Twitter followers keep posting about it?

i played it for the first time this morning

what’s the verdict I am also considering playing it

it was cool

ugh fine

ok it’s cool

it takes about two minutes to play and they only have one game a day, I can't see why it's become so big

bc u can flex on ppl wit emojis

oh shit

i think i just got very lucky tbh. got a letter in the 2nd spot that could only be preceded by relatively few other letters. it's sort of the same strategy as wheel of fortune (except you don't get R S T L N E given to you)

I read an article where someone said they always use ORATE for their first guess because it has three vowels and two common consonants.

i used 'shard' to find the common consonants, suppose 'share' will be a better starting point

i find wordle a bit too easy (ive still never lost after a couple months of playing daily) so instead of optimizing my opening word i just pick the first 5-letter word that pops into my head

the challenge of wordle isn’t so much about whether you will lose but how long you will stay stumped. sometimes i just can’t think of a word with those letters for a long time. that’s the good stuff

we've been talking about it over here for quite some time
Tomtit in the tilth -- the NY TIMES SPELLING BEE thread

i love it. the best thing is it's only one a day so I'm not playing it for ages.

Not quite. Rowling's real importance lies in the fact that she was the first writer to present a world in which class and wealth mattered, some characters were poor, some were rich, and being poor was a hardship, not just a cheery sentimental thing in the scenery.

Wordle is a CIA op

i'm on day 8 of Wordle and haven't lost

i fully expect that i won't be playing this in 30 days but a lot of people will keep going and i can see why. i'm not really a "daily puzzle" kind of guy, although i did use to really enjoy doing crosswords with my ex when I first met them. i can see why people addicted, and wordle is nice because it only takes a couple minutes

Rowling as pioneering Dickensian author suggests the author of that tweet may be unfamiliar with the adjective

heh! what a vacuous pumper

tweeter outed himself as a Floridian, so you must forgive him, it's in his DNA

remind me never to interact with k-pop fans or even the concept of k-pop on twitter. seems like it’s a world of hurt

Haha yeah a banner day for it. Sending a letter to a record company asking them to intervene because someone on social media called an artist fuckable is admitidely endearing levels of not understanding how the world works.

ohhhh lord J-Hope please talk to this sucker cause they killing k-pop they taking the pain and struggle of life of k-pop the only thing we coulda express our minds and pain. and these suckers took it and made it look like garbage thats why we get judge so much cause these shit dont be making sence

The iOS app just started interrupting my music every time a video comes up in my feed, I don't know if they made a change or if I accidentally changed a setting. It seems that the location of the video autoplay setting has shifted quite frequently, so here's where I found it:

Settings and privacy > Accessibility, display and languages > Accessibility > Video autoplay

hitting the mute button in twitter videos has helped me with this, but I'm not on iOS

I started having this problem and googling led me to turn off Twitter’s microphone access in global settings (Privacy > Microphone) and that worked but then it started happening again so thanks for the autoplay setting tip - fingers crossed.
