lol i'm never touching that, it would ruin so many of my days

i have attracted a few followers even though i have made no tweets. what is that?

once you start following people this starts to happen.

i have been using twitter incorrectly this entire time.

some of them are spambots or spamhumans, others possibly ilxors.

recent stuff hasn't been good though

I can't cope with most of the weird twitteratti. i usually unfollow anyone who starts tweeting 50+ times a day. I loved reading through those classic tweet comics though, this was a good one:

I was giggling to myself all day over this old wolfpupy gem:

probably the best result thats gonna come out of this is all the dudes who are gonna be butthurt they werent asked to participate

i thought that article was kind of a mess to read, and this is from someone who's been following that whole scene since its pre-twitter days. i think if i wasn't in the know already it would just be tremendously confusing to read through. which is maybe the point

i am butthurt i wasnt asked to participate

they asked a dog boner a cheese god and a cool pond to paritcipate but not a banana smh

i invented weird twitter

i cant believe dril talked. dont believe in dril anymore

damn max subtweeting the hell out of fyad in that article

WHY CAN'T WE CALL IT WEIRD TWITTER?

@weedhitler: It's a hell of a lot easier than saying "surrealist narcissists who hate themselves." But it's a really irksome phrase.

lol

so utility_limb is really dead? have I asked this before

@robdelaney is the pits

why wasnt utility limb mentioned more and what happened to him and what the f

i like to think that they tried to reach out to utility limb but the email they got back was just a completely black screen that made them feel alone + bereft of all hope

the funniest troll-y thing weird twitter did was imho when they highjacked the hashtag for some bicycle day thing in toronto and made all these claims of police brutality and it turned into this whoe hilarious story and was so funny and im upset and disappointed it wasnt included in the article

i was watching the copy machine thing as it was happening and it was extremely tough to hide my convulsive laughter at work

I still cannot see this without nearly pissing my pants:

this is prob one of the worst jokes i've ever read

there was a time when i was doing weird tweets, this brings back memories of sitting on the toilet reading a lot of these

i enjoyed ur weird tweets

in retrospect, they were mostly derivative/lame, but i had few winners

the weird tweet game is mad real

did u delete ur account? I cant find u ony mlist

i did, i think some1 hacked into the email account attached to it and by then i had already abandoned that account due to irl circumstances making me question the amount of time i was online in general, so in a fit of guilt i deleted it

the bike day thing was about tedx toronto as i recall, which was streaming appropriately tagged tweets to a huge led screen somewhere. the claims were that they had taken all the bikes off the racks because they were illegally parked. this eventually transformed into an elaborate story about a bike bonfire.

more fine reporting from buzzfeed, that model of dauntless journalistic something something.

haha yes tedx lmao

So interested to get the actual scoop on #TEDxToronto bike theft situation. Weird tweets everywhere #chaos @CP24 get on it!

loved that buzzfeed piece

weird twitter isn't really my thing but a lot of the themes of that piece are applicable to ilx so i really enjoyed it

weird piece to dis buzzfeed for considering it was providing useful information material to this discussion

"here's something that explains what i'm talking about... by a bunch of COWARDS"

btw i think the community wiki at http://www.weirdtwitter.com is a pretty good resource, tons of classic quotes + timelines

wow you're right

@tricialockwood:
[...] it's like a punchline to a long mundane joke that everyone else is telling

this seems to me as basically otm as anyone's ever likely to get
