OK, which one of you is @BARTSIMSON_REAL?

can we get a new board called "weird ilx"? normal ilx is just too 'square' for me

feel like 'weird twitter' is a v fine offhanded condescension, like theres this thing many people are way too into and then this uncool guy comes along looks at it for a second and goes oh i get it youre being weird and everyone instantly feels lame

the ph.d effect

twitter is weird twitter, weird twitter is twitter, dont u get it

i have a less condescending but way worse word for it if you want: slipstream twitter

i don't like 'weird twitter' because it implies that twitter isn't already weird

Twitter user @hell_homer (whose avatar depicts the popular Simpsons character, Homer, in hell) appears to not appreciate the irony that by reaching out to the people who might be concerned about the ‘weird twitter’ label, he is symbolically constructing the weird twitter community within the digital social space. @hell_homer autoreifies ‘weird twitter’ through his very acts of resistance.

graduate school makes people stupid

more evidence

Moreover, academic language’s distinction from the vernacular echos the power dynamics of meatspace into the digitally dual virtual world. These power dynamics problematize organic community growth.

my fist wants to problematize someone's face

sounds like self parody

its coming from inside the weird twitter

that dude didnt invent the phrase "weird twitter" guys

"weird twitter" has been calling it "weird twitter" for a while

max i agree w/ u i think 'weird twitter' is an awesome name. i just want to complain about this moron. unrelated.

i dont get what's stupid abt what he's saying, tho!

i mean the second thing you posted, yes, stupid

maybe ur just not weird twitter enough

i do not appreciate the irony that by complaining about this faux-academic analysis of 'weird twitter' i am symbolically constructing the critical media community within a digital social space

u and hell homer, members of weird criticism

weird structuralism

i'd be into a weird criticism movement

i think that might just be pop culture criticism tho.

by situating buffy in a paradigm of post-feminism, we relocate the lacuna of lost gender-performed mythology; this problematizes the symbolic other within the preexisting superstructure and undermines the hierarchy presupposed

i'd like to see "you've been watterSONned" become a thing.

yo ciderpress i sent u an email

what's stupid is he's like "these tweets are works of surrealist détournement" and then responding to them literally and at face value!

like did you think that maybe these people who spend their time saying funny things that aren't necessarily true are perhaps not responding to you in earnest? is that another possibility, perhaps?

none of these are actually "famous irl"

wait, utilitylimb is dead??? :o

rare basement is kinda famous

he's not dead

rip

conflating dying as in 'not tweeting anymore' with dying as in 'actually dying' is a bold move I must say

its a bold map

passed into dreamtime

is @utilitylimb on that big chart

out of all twitter "weirdos" utilitylimb is really the only one where I was curious what the guy was like in real life. like how does he come up with that stuff

ask ciderpress

in the deceased section tr slocki

no graeyalien, no credibility

why is riff raff the central character is the big question

i am told that on tinychat utilitylimb is a "total goth" w/ "spiked bracelets"

B-)

lol
