Twitter C/D

I don’t log in much anymore but when I do it seems like mostly a platform for reaction gifs

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

hmm

Adam bought a durag and $40 worth of makeup: costume complete.

ouch

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 to

“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.

nice

Sometimes being extremely dud qualifies as classic

“boys have a penis, girls have a vagina it’s called a vagina”

that dude kept going for like 11 hours btw

where do mainsplainers get their water?

from a well, actually

actually it's spelled mansplainer

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"

girls always love to telling people not to" Mansplain"
but they do not care of, "Man's Pain"

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.

it's a sign, Dan. you've gotta be a sports guy now

xp this, except for posting about the 2016 or 2020 democratic primaries

Twitter is good for sports, it's one of the few things the format really seems to work for

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

I am a sports guy, but for some reason no one else wants to post on twitter about olympic judo!

so what if they're a year and a half away

start posting, find your community

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 :(

i feel the same way about basketball guys who post low qual political opinions

fair enough!

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

VERY TRUE

like not even necessarily ~the wrong side~ or whatever just lame

damn, there was this thing a couple of months ago that all the coding people were talking about where nassim taleb shat out some nonsensical attempted hit job on nate silver, and all the programmers just ate it right up

lol yes exactly the type of shit that appeals to those fucks

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

if u use the modulo operator on homelessness u will be left with a fraction of a homeless guy which you can then roast over an open fire while microdosing

I have used Rust and the blockchain to determine that nazis are actually good
