some of the assholes are so grotesque and absurd that while recognizing the toxicity of the situation i kinda find them hilarious and fascinating

the twitter left obvs selects its enemies for entertainment value, going to war w bizarre ppl no one but them and a few under socialized gamer teens has ever heard of

like someone posted laura loomers patreon the other day and she was making $800 a/month, not exactly a media star, but on the other hand she does completely pitiful ridiculous stunts constantly so i can understand the urge to rubberneck

what i'm mostly tired of is people who endlessly complain about everything

yes i am complaining about that

There’s like hundreds of lefty people on here who follow 2500 people and all they do is post epic pig poop balls pics at pundits no one in real life has heard of, get some 70 year old to ask “what’s BOFA?” And then whine about being banned for threatening to kill their kid or w.e

lol

just nearly fell in a trap by replying to a dude only to realize 90% of his twitter presence is making spurious arguments in comments, completely tangential to the original tweet, all total garbage

pretty funny that his shtick is starting tweets with “well, then do you concede that..” followed by more irrelevant junk

a million tweeter stories out there in the city

completely understand why pig poop balls is a good reply now though

what is this trend of guilt-tripping people into donating money to their cashapp/venmo accounts? i'm seeing this more and more, usually in the context of social justice issues but it's kind of annoying tbh

Some people need money, other people have money

that's fair obviously, so why not just ask instead of making ppl feel like a moral failure?

the latter is probably more effective

Whenever I follow a link from ILX to a political tweet and do a bit of scrolling down into the replies, I get the definite impression that Twitter is still rife with bots and Russian trolls.

it's a good grift tbh

finally blocked enough brands that i'm getting promoted tweets from "NematodeFacts"

blocking every ad is so essential for that reason

got 2 know the nematode facts

luv too report the brands

the only good tweet

unbelievable: just fled an apartment showing where the tenants were not warned and the landlord managed to open the door on both tenants jacking off separately in their rooms

should've asked the landlord if he was going to keep their deposits

wowwwww

good one, nick.

Probably true.

when men live together their cycles often sync up

it's down, are we finally free?

i was just abt to post a joke abt patch adams so this one's on me

I guess they are really pissed off re Trumps social media snub.

stay down

too good to stay true

I was DEVASTATED when Twitter went down so I made my own Twitter to hold me over. An hour without this very specific cesspool? No thanks! pic.twitter.com/PDrTfvopCC

god

i've long suspected that there's a group of people in a discord somewhere writing up all those r/relationship posts that are on the edge of believability

i finally got forced onto the new desktop layout and it just doesn't function at all, my login cookie doesn't log me in half the time i click a link to a tweet from an external site, and a bunch of former QoL features are missing or obscured like the 'translate this tweet' requires an additional click to make appear now and sometimes just doesn't appear at all

it's clearly just a half-assed port of the mobile UI

agreed it is very bad

mobile site never remembers my login when i access it via zing

i'm ok with it

you can't even scroll with the spacebar or pgdn in new desktop, what an insanely untested UI

This talking point is stupid for 2 reasons

1) “ersatz pundits” implies the bias filters for cable news pundits is somehow more legitimate & reflective of the general pop
2) no one thinks twitter is per se that influential, only that its influential to those who are influential https://t.co/pXCwHv8mkB

i like tha new site its faster and not displaying follower stats on the homepage is nice, also they did away w the individual tweet page overlaying the tweeters timeline which was subject to misclicks

it still bugs out and needs to be refreshed like 30% of the time i open it, thats not very fast

tweetdeck u babies

tweetdeck not for me.
