that's a great article. it's def the feeling i get when i see one of these notifications pop up. what reaction is this supposed to get from me? and if not me, whom? what's the frequency, kenneth?
this set of accts are almost certainly just spam for that 'business' but again i have to wonder what they keyed to

some of it is about increasing follower counts, avoiding being labeled as spam, etc.
the googuns one that ken writes about, who the fuck knows
i have this dim memory of reading about some kind of espionage or hacking operation that DID use a, or several, twitter accounts the way the numbers stations are/were supposed to have been used--as signal operations i guess

one of my friend's tweets to me and an internet microcelebrity about theodor adorno got into the hands of twitter spam bots and for the next few days they just kept sending me the same message, about once per hour. idk if you can read the message in the image but it says "adorno considered art's internal dialectic alongside its dialectical relationship with society."

underneath this clip of twitter's Rob Delaney bombing horrifically on Jimmy Kimmel a few months ago and you'll have a deleted scene from a David Lynch film.

especially fond of the inception bit and this:
Acording to New York Times, 'Molly' is like this prety awesome drug that black rapers like Kanye West and Miley Cyres like to sing about in their beats, but also caucasien poeple like Kaitlin, a 22-year-old senier at Columbia University, and women who are like 50 who have been writen about in Town Talk Magazine, take at dance party's in Wiliamsburg. New York Times say 'Molly' is grate because it get you fucked up but still feel crisp.

why does current day seinfeld spell like that in long form? makes sense in tweets, apparently he has no editor
