Twitter C/D

I find that artsy people tweet about politics just as much as politics people, just in a less informed and more depressed way

"choosing not to opine publicly on the controversial netflix movie" my wife watched it last night specifically because everyone on twitter is so mad about it (and also none of them have watched it). dunno what she thought, I went to bed.

I'm on twitter all the time now, it's very clearly not good for my health, but then neither is ingesting 30mg of edibles a night, or speaking to my family, or walking outside, so what do I care

sn’t it great to just not have opinions on things? skipped an entire conversational thread on twitter this morning because it seemed like a lot of drama and I absolutely am not obligated to care either way

Oi this my thing, copyright me, and I strongly recommend it and btw I still don't know who Jordan Peterson is but I get the feeling that's a good thing

I have three twitter accounts now, all following completely different groups of people, I have one just for following all the worst people, sometimes I go on there looking for racists to report, have had 20 or so removed now, but they probably just made new accounts. if I can't take those people, I just leave that account alone.
does this make twitter better? hm not really.

kinder, keep teaching us how to live

fix your posture

I've had a few Politics Twitter culls to save my mental health over the years. I hate doing it b/c I am pretty politically involved but I'm also very inclined to spiral into danger if it gets too much. Although yeah, arts & music & queer folks will post about politics plenty, and they're my actual friends so I'm not gonna cut them out.

i got a homophobic bigot wine farmer permabanned, this was the one good thing i ever done on Twitter, and it took a month of basically flagging every post they made

i'm enjoying singing "I Got a Homophobic Bigot Wine Farmer Permabanned" in my best Mark Sandman voice to the tune of Buena

i was hearing it in BB King's voice tbh

Tom Waits also works

i'm going with tindersticks guy doing pillowtalk in your ear voice

followed by a trombone solo

the most tasteful

i'm hearing charli xcx tbr

Whose Voice Do YOU Hear Singing "I Got a Homophobic Bigot Wine Farmer Permabanned" In Your Head?

does a white check mean anything?? e.g. https://twitter.com/Rachel_Sennott

that you have twitter in dark mode?

Whispers: technically, it’s a white check mark

Lol at

Where does mentally ill come in?

In the eye

Twitter gone stale for anyone else? Can’t see anything more recent than an hour ago

Hm yeah one of the last tweets I can see is something from an hour ago, saying the notifications service seems to have gone down.

my few most recent tweets aren't showing up including ones i posted weeks ago

Back I think

my feed is working but my tweets it deleted are still gone

now one of the missing ones is back but a different one is gone instead

theyve flushed the cache m8

Unfortunately, the change emptied our caches (the things that keep Tweets ready to load quickly) and you all had trouble Tweeting and seeing Tweets. As our caches warmed back up, with our teams speeding up this process 🙏, Twitter has been restoring for the last few hours.

Would you rather be respected or liked?

Imagine if we didn’t have “Like” buttons, but instead, we had “Respect” buttons. Would you rather have 110 Likes or 34 Respects?

makes you think

why choose? wouldn't it be better to both like and respect a @timtebow tweet

It would be cool if there was both a like button and a like like button.

that's another great idea

twitter needs a lot more buttons

web design has gotten stale. everything looks the same. go to kotaku. go to polygon. go to ars technica. those are all of the websites, and they're all exactly the same.

we need to go back to the way things once were, with individual buttons for every possible task

like like button

time to resurrect rodney dangerfield and add a "no respect" button

i have enjoyed, for the last six weeks or so, getting sponsored tweets from or about sports teams that have already been eliminated from their playoffs

lol @ doc, that was exactly what i was thinking of

twitter should bring back the failwhale and just randomly disconnect for at least 37 non-consecutive hours a week

the biggest problem with the internet is that it's always on. i would like eight hours of enforced outage please.

Would it be possible to tell if Tebow is suffering from CTE?

Americans and Brits squabbling about food seems to be trending (being reacted to) a lot more than usual on Twitter over the last couple of days and I have no idea what triggered it.

Bake off

ffs

this new york post thing seems like it didn’t go great

about as effective as when they sent robot ninjas to take out Robocop in Robocop 3

its pretty funny that they just tried emails again

tbf it worked last time
