Twitter C/D

an acquaintance's teenage daughter recently sent me a linkedin request; freaked me the fuck out

linkedin is good for getting jobs if you are extremely lazy and have certain technical skills highly valued in the tech industry

linkedin also good for latently keeping track of people you used to know and if they might be useful to you

the slightly less lazy version lol

linkedin is good for networking in yr [my] industry tbph

should i join peach

like it has def brought in business to my company w/out question. nb it's obv annoying as hell but xp

I found my current job on LinkedIn. It's definitely a useful job-hunting tool. Its "social" aspects are virtually nil - part of my job is to post news related to my industry on our LinkedIn page, and Nobody Gives A Fuck.

can't believe the kendzior mess is back. in passing i like sarah jeong ok; i'm always surprised when people turn out to hate each other but i guess i shouldn't be

what do you all make of the molly crabapple vs tankies feud? no idea on that one either, jesus

you're just making up words and putting them together into sentences now aren't you

i googled it and found this article that said: "But nowhere has the backlash been worse than on Stalinist Twitter: a peculiar mélange of social justice paraphernalia, Komsomol Manga, and Red Army porn." is there really such thing as Red Army porn??

lmao what a world

emma rules and imo molly belongs with the sarahs in the Exploit Misunderstanding To Get A Bigger Outrage Audience column

im told molly is v cool and nice irl and i'm really impressed by her art, but like, doxxing an aid worker in a warzone bcz she said something you didn't like on line is beyond the pale imo

it seems kind of rude but: https://www.reddit.com/r/socialism/comments/406dyp/molly_crabapple_doxes_a_twitter_communist_to_get/

fucking seriously

http://www.buzzfeed.com/hayesbrown/a-twitter-account-that-denies-people-are-starving-in-syria-i#.ahP3q0ynR

I also just learned what "tankies" are, what a world

idk someone who works helping syrians resettle in canada tweeting about how she doesn't think ppl in syria are actually starving... ppl should have some option for anonymity, but that's... rude

hehe

why do you guys care so much about these randos caught up in twitter beefs, are they important ppl?

nope

if you follow enough people in left twitter you see these factional+personal feuds flare up eventually

^^^^^^ and if you follow or know enough of them these feuds can even take up your whole TL & fuck up irl friendships

amber f, who wrote articles that started both Jacobinghazi and the Molly/Emma battle, is a good friend of one of my housemates--she refused to stay at our house while visiting the city because she thinks i'm an asshole

and like, who the fuck am i, even

MC's art is p bad imo

xp huh she's written some things i've liked in the past but she seems like a huge asshole herself. not that there's anything wrong with that.

i couldn't possibly comment

i side w/big hoos, i've got your back if twitter war comes to town

unless it involves slam poetry or something, then you're on yr own

seems like high school x-post

it is like high school

or like a certain message board which shall remain unnamed

distinctly remember her criticizing jeet heer for being a knowitall who would be shouted down if he were a woman (a half-ok argument imo), respondees saying he gets a ton of racist harassment as it is, and her saying he deserves the harassment he gets (i can't find that last turn anymore, could be deleted)

xp and yes this is like high school

really a lot of people like to fucking rip into ppl in the most egregious ways; you just want to slap your palm on the desk and shout YOU ARE NOT DOING THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS HERE

jeet heer is really wordy and sometimes interesting in storify form, he has a pretty limited audience outside twitter afaik

There's a guy who'd welcome a 10,000 character limit.

Might be able to get his ideas across in three or four tweets then.

i should qualify, he writes/edits a lot and has academic cred of some sort but i've talked to ppl who have lived basically in his neighborhood and know nothing of the dude

srsly

most of these ppl end up looking pretty bad

generally a problem with the left and its interest in justice is it ends up attracting a lot of extremely self righteous unkind people who no one wld actual ever want to associate with

i just want justice and liberty and equality and the ability to be a total dick to everyone

but 2 ban them if they're a dick to me

otm

do i want to ask what jacobingate was

*thread throws up hands*

*laugh track, lights out, theme music*

this goofy graphic explains it surprisingly well imo

Board academics of twitter aint got no jobs in the summer and are tired of reading after crushingly brutal course evals, so they don't bother reading Frost or Stoker and immediately agree with Kendizor. Stoker, Frost, and Erickson, all women, are called misogynists and rape apolgists.

big lol @ academics if this is true

self righteous unkind people

this sounds right but WHY unkind??, seems like most of the WARRIORZ i know are hella kind, it kinda goes w/ their interest in justice in the first place (say, justice-as-compassion)

i think desire for justice is sometimes more about an interest in fairness and order than it is about actually caring about people, feel like the left attracts a lot of very heady people who have a deep investment in being right

having said that idk if you can truly be said to care about people if you dont desire justice for them, and of course im not claiming everyone fits that description or their arent shades of grey etc

and of course the left has a long and often comic occasionally tragic history of internal ideological struggles

occasionally ice pick
