Having fun today getting both of my accounts blocked by Andrew Doyle, just the thought that I've maybe ruined two minutes of his day kind of warms the heart

I have never even heard of Andrew Doyle and I just learned I have been blocked by him.

He seems to have blocked every academic in the world, somehow, this may include you.

I've been blocked by him even though I'm not an academic

He hadn't blocked me until shortly after I sent this to him

If you want to preemptively block people who might possibly one day call you a tedious grifter with two or three crap jokes which you repeat ad nauseam, that's absolutely your right, but why not just block absolutely everyone to be on the safe side?

weird how those who go on about free speech being an absolute right are the first to take their ball home when they receive some mild ribbing

Oh, twitterpaws

Twitter announces paid Super Follows to let you charge for tweets https://t.co/nw281nPJ4P pic.twitter.com/WHPGmYTK3j

I can see why, instead of having everyone link to patreon in their bio, they're patreoning their own platform now tbh, and no doubt taking a piece of the pie. Years ago a moderately famous court reporter in the Netherlands - who tweets all day following court cases - did the same, but old-skool: he created a separate, locked twitter account and charged followers 2 or 3 euros a month. He'd keep check of his paid followers in an xls. Think he had about 400, 500 paid followers, which made for a nice extra income I guess. He called it quits because of a new job iirc.

"Super Follows" can get tae fuck tho, godawful name.

What’s with the recent handful of celebs wanting to get rid or their verified checkmark? Paul F. Tompkins is the latest I’ve seen, but it appears to be a mini-movement thing.

this tweet, and the replies, are really something

I never had butter as a kid. Came from a big family, Mom only had margarine in the house for us kids. We put it on everything. Only she & my Dad would have butter on occasion. Now I’m sitting here, wolfing down a bunch of crackers with butter. I love butter. My mom would smile.

Trash food is the one legitimate boomer complaint.

We were quite broke when I was a young kid - we arrived at a middle-class lifestyle by my teens- and only had margarine at home. Have always loved bread and butter since then. Kind of relate to that tweet lol

same. i liked that tweet as well, it took me years to get with butter and then it was a sudden realisation, wtf. good bread with good butter is probably my favourite food.

I actually remember a science class at school where the teacher was talking about margarine, disparaging it, and we all thought butter was disgusting. He was an absolute prick of a teacher - Polson, Piggy Polson he was known as.

butter one of the best food out there def

My mom still buys margarine of her own volition, I drop off a pack of Kerrygold every so often.

Crackers and butter is amazing, though.

I also remember that that teacher would say Margerine, "mar-ga-reen". Prick.

butter on like, crackers like saltines?? revolting

Is there a worst teachers at your school thread? There should be. Do kids have to encounter very horrible teachers now? Incompetent ones, I'm sure, but are there still bastard teachers?

i regularly work w bastards, so yeah

you guys ever tried goat butter, recommended, its not weird

in my family, the goat butter what the best butter in the house, served to the goats, in the hopes that they would grow stronger and provide better milk. we called it our virtuous cycle, but i hated that we had to eat the margarine

butter on like, crackers like saltines?? revolting

Oh this is classic imho

butter on stoned wheat thins bro

Hemp butter on regular wheat thins

yall are gross

No matter how broke my mom was when we were kids - and that was pretty damn broke - she would not allow margarine to cross the threshold.

I've only vaguely seen a few PFT-related tweets about this, many clowning on him, but I'm inferring that he thinks the blue tick makes for a gross and artifical class system, and is simply choosing to opt out of that ecosystem that trumpets his opinion as important bcz of his name vs his thoughts

we used to have all these cookbooks published by a margarine company that were pretty good as long as you substituted oil or butter for margarine in every recipe. otherwise everything tasted of margarine.

wow how is twitter going to handle ppl taking their shitposting and verbal abuse to the corporeal world

lines of ppl at the betsy ross museum bothering the poor old lady working at the gift shop if they can fuck the flag, etc

somebody run up on Dave Matthews and tell him everyone on ilm thinks he is bad and hated.

joek would have worked better if he'd shouted "fuck off" per the balloons

one of my favorite things to see are photos from drones of people throwing things at the drone

Definitely continue throwing things at drones plz, real American heroes

that's a way old viral pic

Though I wouldn't be surprised if that dude's name was Wayne Hills.

used to be every time there was some baffling series of words in all caps trending i would click through and it would just be a reaction to a k-pop star getting a haircut

nowadays it's the same thing but with minecraft youtubers
