Twitter is the fusing of social media and comments sections

sure I'd be so much happier if I had a brain made of blancmange but also a desktop folder of reaction gifs and a willingness to explain a joke back at a big shop

I probably shouldn't have been surprised to see his name in this article, but if you're wondering what erstwhile tweeter pisspiggranddad is up tohttps://splinternews.com/one-of-the-worlds-most-iconic-craft-breweries-is-unioni-1832439046
“Anchor is a San Francisco institution that used to be known for being a good job,” Brace Belden, a part-time worker in the Anchor racking room who has worked at the brewery for a year and is a member of the 8-person organizing committee, told Splinter.

actually it's spelled mansplainer
― rob, Monday, 11 February 2019 19:58 (five years ago) link
I appreciate the maddening pivot from the classic mansplainer touchstone of "technically correct is the best kind of correct" to "standard social use is the true correctness so your technical knowledge is incorrect in this case"

7th even
it sucks when I like someone's twitter, but then they start posting 95% about sports. It's kind of weird how often this happens.
― Dan I., Friday, 22 February 2019 15:52 (five years ago) link
it's a sign, Dan. you've gotta be a sports guy now
― mh, Friday, 22 February 2019 16:03 (five years ago) link
xp this, except for posting about the 2016 or 2020 democratic primaries
― mookieproof, Friday, 22 February 2019 16:04 (five years ago) link
Twitter is good for sports, it's one of the few things the format really seems to work for
― frogbs, Friday, 22 February 2019 16:04 (five years ago) link
xp I refuse to actually post about the primaries, but I seem to be drawn to replying to people in an attempt to explain they have don't get how caucuses work
― mh, Friday, 22 February 2019 16:08 (five years ago) link
I am a sports guy, but for some reason no one else wants to post on twitter about olympic judo!
― Dan I., Friday, 22 February 2019 16:24 (five years ago) link
so what if they're a year and a half away
start posting, find your community
― lag∞n, Friday, 22 February 2019 17:37 (five years ago) link
I was kind of kidding about the judo thing, but the problem is when I already have found my community, and the damn thing gets pulled out from under my feet when some guy who I normally read for, like, computer programming or who is part of that nebulous sphere of NYC media people who are normally very interesting suddenly decide to post several hundred times a day about basketball :(
― Dan I., Friday, 22 February 2019 18:03 (five years ago) link
i feel the same way about basketball guys who post low qual political opinions

i mean there are people i follow for considered pro level political opinions
the lamest political opinions actually come from design/c0der ppl in my feed

otoh, the academics/ex-academics I follow, even if they're "in tech" or whatever now, tend to have very sane and reasonable political opinions

maybe some sort of training/interest in how to think about things is valuable..........

no, that can't be right, every problem in the world can easily be solved from first principles, using monads or something
