"We live in an age completely dominated by the fact of the internet" fatuous. thought the same thing about the lockwood piece

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.

also kinda think there is a media class that thinks everyone is on twitter all the time, and they aren't.

it was much more interesting than this clickbait about dril, to be clear.

I swore off Twitter last year but my new phone had me right back into it - after culling my follow list and muting a few words it was just about ok.But today I think I'll delete it again. What I've realised is that the problem is all the basically nice(?) people on there who I see * constantly quote-tweeting arseholes to tell them to fuck off (which means I'm effectively following said arseholes)* on constant fucking cancel-watch and treating it like some sort of fun game we can all play* non-stop low-key sniping at each-other over minor political differences because complaining about Trump/May/Brexit has been done to death now * always having to have an opinion about everything, whether they are informed about it or not
Only exception to thins is a handful of comedy accounts, and I can live without those.

what is fucking cancel-watch? when someone fucks up and twitter sentences them to death?

I mean this whole website is built on people having an opinion on which music is good and which is bad, which is a pretty foolish endeavor

no, more like when someone fucks up and everyone feels the need to pick over it for days on end like it's some kind of juicy drama instead of another tedious fuckup of no lasting consequence - this is in contrast to when Trump (or a number of other powerful people) fucks up, which is barely even noted now.
