we had a murderer posting?

Yeah what? And who was the wife-beater?

Know about the murderer, didn't know about the wife-beater. Educational -_-

so, explain?

What's the frequency, Mary Worth?

Actually did Mary join the Tea Party last year? Seems like it would be her thing.

No one going to explain the ilx murderer and/or wife beater?

Not if they know what's good for them!

Haha, good point. Just curious.

I was neither murderer nor beater, just trying to be funny. I'm curious too tbh!
Do we know who is running ILX twitter account? I'm slow on the uptake.

there's an ilx twitter account?

There is not an ILX twitter account. There is that joke account linked above, though.

ah

ah-ha I thought it was some resentful banned person "dropping science" nevermind me!

I thought it was a resentful banned person?

i thought u were leaving

Fuck off.

well okay I didn't mean to imply it was 'official'. Just couldn't remember the account's actual name (ILXofOld?). I lose :(

Now that our motion has been unsealed, we can inform you that the ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a brief in late January asking a federal court in Alexandria to stop the government from accessing individuals' Twitter accounts as part of its Wikileaks investigation. With social networking sites multiplying and more people becoming engaged online, it becomes increasingly important to ensure that users' free speech and privacy rights are protected on the internet.

iirc someone posted a few times (on a thread about people having violent thoughts maybe?) and then later went on to murder someone? I think he signed his name as his posting name is how it all came together. My memory might be playing tricks though.

stop staring at candles

hangin on my every word

I think I only ever visit twitter to follow other people

no i am all about generating top quality content

dayo i see u took me up on my promise of top notch tweets

any celebs you guys follow? it's p. much the only reason i have an account. currently got jewel staite, david lynch, will gibson, and ned raggett actually. oh yeah + the dude who does that great discographies twitter.

I have been meaning to follow willie gibson thanks for hte erminder

u should follow me i am about to be super famous get in on the ground floor guys

household name

gibson's pretty rad, like the dude is on a 24/7 sci-fi trip and can't really seem to shake predicting the future. this was a recent one:

"I imagine that all purpose-built book-reading units will be relics soon enough. Analog watch > digital watch > cell phone."

but he tweets to fucking hell, honestly racking up to 20per day, mostly replies to things ppl have to say. very into it, i guess.

FINALLY sorted the people whose tweets i actually care about 100% of the time into a list - along w/turning off retweets by the worst offenders this is changing my life

and i thiiiiink making the list private means no one else can see whether they're on it or not #fistpump

i don't seem to be on any new lists so either that worked or you hate me :D

haha it worked! :D

Mine too. I'm down to ~75 following (all people I actually speak to), retweets from most of those are blocked, and now I'm actually using Twitter again.

i will follo u
if u will follo me

Between Xmas and New Year, I tried to reduce my "following" list from 100 to 50, but ended up at around 60 - which is just about manageable, for someone who prefers to at least skim-read every tweet. I ended up unfollowing some very nice people and some people I've met many times offline, but (a tiny handful of exceptions aside) I never feel obliged to follow anyone in perpetuity. With some, I dip and out; following for a while, muting for a while, then resuming a few months later. And yeah, I've blocked retweets from a small number of over-sharers.

Here's what I block:

• Tweets that are nothing more than replies to other tweets.
• People who offer links without explaining what their linking to. ("Oh, nothing more than a http://inwjt.us/234s? Let me at it!")
• Anyone who habitually makes more than six tweets in a given hour.
• Live tweeting sports or music events.

• Tweets that are nothing more than replies to other tweets.

?!

@crazed_Fan: That's right, I forgot you were there!

@TheRealShaq: Forgot all about that night at Palms #smirnoff.

@juju_buttah: Maybe around Friday?

@Ace_Frehley: AWESOME!

When someone doesn't actually post anything, but only replies to other tweeters.

Ahhhh.
