the part of it i don't like is being shown people i've never hard of before and would never hear of if not for twitter being owned. i guess in some case they're quasi-reputable media figures, but also more often not? im pretty sure the girl who said AOC's boyfriend has raccoon dick energy or wtv is just some random with 5k followers
glenn greenwald resigning because his editor tried to edit him, also pretty good, this has been your week in media drama― lag∞n, Monday, November 2, 2020 10:23 AM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

like this one was pretty funny to me bc it's glenn. fucking. greenwald. we all know him, oh isn't this so predictable of his late descent yet also so perfectly in-character, etc. thomas chatterthon williams i didn't even know who he was (name vaguely rings a bell but im certain it's just because he has been main character of twitter before). i guess it's kinda funny that he said emily ratajkowski's boobs are neat. but like, it's not as funny as the horny anthony lane review of incredibles 2
it's just not my thing

i mean the anthony lane thing was funny because he was taking uhh genuine delight in the incredibles franchise, the thomas chatterthon williams thing was funny cause of his trying really hard and failing to delight in a hot model

a fwiw imo the twitter main character of the day is a great service, the absurdity and senselessness of it is part of the —meta bouquet— that makes the whole thing work

The TCW thing was just funny because of his responses, which along the same lines as conservatives tweeting pictures of their steaks and cigars to prove they’re living great

This habit of taking something shitty someone said on the internet and then extrapolating that as the opinion of 75M people is probably the worst aspect of Twitter.

ok this 538 thing is the absolute godfather of the "will never see the original tweet but will see 10000 variations of jokes based on the tweet"
― la table sur la table (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 10 November 2020 16:31 (three years ago) link
here u go
Here's the thing: the reason there's a thing called @FiveThirtyEight is because 538 was the margin in FL when the Republican SCOTUS reversed the 2000 election during a recount, making Dubya the president. That's the kind of margin where races can flip. That's not what's up now.— Joy WE VOTED!! WEAR A MASK!! Reid 😷) (@JoyAnnReid) November 10, 2020

"The KHive are the vanguard of the "progressive" TERFs that Britishers have gotten to enjoy so much over the last few years"
why is this? Did this happen organically or was it organized social media fuckery? I don't know why Harris would have a large number of anti-trans adherents based on her beliefs.

I think it’s a weird intersection of hanger-ons and extremely online people
the ride-or-die people are weird in the absence of coherent ideology (see my Bernie sign peeking out from under the post) and it’s just weird stanning of their candidate that has nothing to do with the actual person, afaict
there are ~vibes~ that may be incompatible, like I doubt there are homophobic Buttigieg realists but who knows

from the one time I checked it out in the last five years, it seems like all of the non-news show talk content is for people who want the update on the soap opera they see politics as, from a center-left viewpoint, when you’re at most online enough to check out cranks on twitter who were really into tweeting “this is it”
― mh, Wednesday, 11 November 2020 00:49 (three years ago) link
Reid is presumably quite popular with the old people who watch four hours of MSNBC a night - not too challenging, not a yelling old white man (like Chris Matthews was), unwaveringly anti-Trump
