time to kill dennis perrin tweets

I remember saying that at the time. Of course, when I complained about the UK Politics thread being dominated by Twitter embeds, I got shouted down.

well.....that is just a function of that thread tbh

Unfortunately.

xp: High-pitched? I always read Morbs' posts in Walter Pidgeon's voice.

Perrin's voice high-pitched, I meant!

“dominated” is a weird thing when half those embeds are primary sources for breaking news...plus more often than not if you write anything longer than a paragraph you’re not going to get huge amounts of back and forth. Personally the only tweets I’d proscribe are those of a certain awful French freelance journalist AF has a soft spot for.

the way i see it, people who come on here and submit content that is not up to par, could possibly be considered the "Villains" of this site

Uh oh...

lol

I'm in favor of a sitewide killfile for perrin it is the closest thing to an intrusive ad this site has

Oh, I think I get it! Like this little guy?

never ban perrin

Nailed it. xp

I don't get the hate, he 95% sez the same stuff as Chapo. better on trad comedy.

1) he is occasionally m/l accurate, on some of those occasions slightly mordant, is never even slightly funny

2) ppl post chapo stuff in the chapo thread and nobody has any problem with this

3) if he’s good on trad comedy and you are posting his tweets on a thread about greek culture from 300-400 years BCE then probably nobody has any problem with this either? I don’t read that thread though

4) there is a dedicated thread for Dennis Perrin tweets, which most ppl who are bored by Perrin tweets in unrelated threads might look at occasionally if you posted Perrin tweets in it, with genuine open curiosity. as Aimless says, people who know you are more interested in your own thoughts being added to an ongoing conversation than the oblique opinings of some guy who wrote a biography of some other guy, once, 25 years ago.

5) lol there is no more reliable indicator of Morbz posting in a thread within the hour than Morbz quitting that thread forever

I honestly don't care about the presence of Perrin tweets one way or another. They're just another expression of ol' Morbsy's beloved 'I'm not touching you you can't get mad I'm not touching you you can't get mad I'm not touching you you can'tUHHHH WHY DID YOU HIT ME I'M TELLING ON YOU AND I HATE YOU FOREVER!' routine.

the sentiments in Perrin tweets are identical to the ones voiced by Morbz, so we'll get this stuff one way or another

u guys r just jealous cause morbs found "his guy"

honestly i'm confused that any of you can still bear to discuss politics at all, y'all have stronger stomachs than me, salud!

TBF discussing politics has been way easier since that thing a few years back where the incessant stress of doing so finally shut down my organic corpus and necessitated an upload of my consciousness into a crude mechanical body comprised mostly of wire hangers and soup cans. I literally have a cast iron stomach for that shizz nowadays.

LOL, just saw the post that likely prompted this thread. Perrin is basically what happened when '80s Dennis Miller tried to teleport himself across the room but tragically failed to notice that someone's lame and underinformed dad had time-travelled from our era directly into his telepod.

wait the dad time-travelled into the inside of a telepod that miller was about to use to teleport across a room?

yes but it's the only interesting aspect of the story

the real tragedy here is that people are still allowed to embed Trump tweets

Splitting the option to turn off images from embedding tweets/youtube would be a welcome change to user preferences tbh

this is by far the best option IMO - split it into images/YT links/tweets

“dominated” is a weird thing when half those embeds are primary sources for breaking news

Half a percent maybe!

trumps tweets are at least funny tho

u guys r just jealous cause morbs found "his guy"

We can have another thread if necessary to advertise sub-jerky boys fare that would call for the eradication of Twitter rather than its banishing from ILX, those would do fine there.

It's so cool that Chuck Grassley tweets like my worst students write!!

Fred and I hit a deer on hiway 136 south of Dyersville. After I pulled fender rubbing on tire we continued to farm. Assume deer dead

xp: okay clearly Grassley fucks at the DQ

I hope he takes Target to Cavity Court!

leavitt m8 issnot worthitt

take him to cuticle court and lock him in proximal nail fold jail.

is teri single, asking for a friend

howbout u quit the fucking board instead, esp if you think Rush was anything other than a shit band

This kind of biting, not at all puerile criticism doesn't really work whenever all the Yo La Tengo film buff nerds go after an actual proper rock band; it doesn't really work when in their corner is some piss-weak late 90s excuse of an indie-rock band for middlebrow Christgau fuckwits to wet themselves over

wait are yo la tengo fighting rush

only on DAZN

lol

georgia vs geddy cage match

i was trying to remember why I know David Leavitt's name. He is only known because he made jokes about the Manchester shooting right?

One thing I’ve learned from this thread is that it’s pretty fun when ppl other than morbs post Dennis Perrin tweets

I actually kind of see them in a similar light! Three pieces, stuck together over time and developed a certain aesthetic and musical language that was unique to themselves (that's the only reason to care about a rock band now imo), both grew and changed over time but maintained their identity.

lifers, all 6 of them

is Perrin quoting CSNY?

it's getting to the point where i don't care anymore

Seriously tho who is he

dr morbius but without the medical license

I prefer Denny Vertigo

"actual proper rock bands" are indeed a cancer

actual proper rock band......time to kill

Indeed, why would anyone actually want to rock, how unbecoming
