This parody mash-up of Anthony Bourdain and Ruth Reichl won a James Beard award in humor for brilliantly mixing Reichl’s poeticism and Bourdain’s profanity. The feed tweets about fellow celebrity chefs and “barely legal scallops debauched by onions.”
can you please all go to hell
― goole, Monday, 25 March 2013 17:20 (eleven years ago) link
the very first two people you should follow are @utilitylimb (honoring an alltime great who never tweets anymore) and @dril

― 乒乓, Monday, 25 March 2013 17:23 (eleven years ago) link

― goole, Monday, 25 March 2013 17:24 (eleven years ago) link

nah youre not going to love weird twitter youre going to love all the weird politics discourse
do you all recommend a 2nd party app for this? or do you roll with the basic twitter-twitter
― goole, Monday, 25 March 2013 17:35 (eleven years ago) link
the iphone twitter app is basically fine for anything you need to do

i think i can get down with some weird twitter (already on peanutfreemom)
i feel a little unnerved by the idea of actively having the thoughts of, say, jonah goldberg beamed into something that sits next to my balls

there is some workaround that people use to see who unfollowed them but i dont think twitter itself tells people when somebody unfollows them
― 乒乓, Monday, 25 March 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
weird workaround technology gave us that wonderful elif batuman/guy who writes books about american apparel interaction

if you wanna be incognito, you can add ppl to a private list instead of following them, then just look at the list instead of yr timeline
― mookieproof, Monday, 25 March 2013 19:03 (eleven years ago) link
twitter is real good in terms of the limits/dynamics of personal interaction, imo. i struggle with that kinda thing elsewhere but it is a v nice way to communicate with people. @goole. FAO goole. @ilx.
