I know a website where everything is tweets

I keep tweets about how Twitter crop is gone, and while I know what this means, I can't help reading it as "my crop of sweeet tweets, all of them gone! hopefully next year's harvest will be bountiful."

Twitter is good for me lately and it’s because I follow less than 100 people most of whom are friends from real life or connections made via real life or ilx and only like two are “content creators” and I’ve disabled many people’s retweets, if you’re following 1000 accounts or more you gotta start over

i personally think its immoral for you to disable my retweets

brought to my attention today that you can make people unfollow you by blocking then unblocking them

Me, descendant of pogrom victims, just before clicking on this: "Despite the dunks, surely she didn't seriously, unironically, directly compare being called 'Eve Fartlow' on Twitter to the pogroms."The article: "Oh buddy, not just pogroms.

it's a good dunk but in no way worth amplifying her
i mean, hooray 2.8K people are now aware of her when no one should be

anyone else still waiting for their cheque from chapo? can't seem to find mine.
they're aligned and / or unofficially associated with the chapotraphouse podcast, by the looks of it. in time, i wouldn't be surprised to find the chapotraphouse podcast hosts pay their followers for engaging in these attacks— enough ao6ix6ix.9ine9ine (WS), already (@21_7_b) May 27, 2021

Yeah Eve Fartlow is absolutely a person I'd never heard of outside of twitter and I resent the damn app for informing me.
― Daniel_Rf, Thursday, 27 May 2021 11:13 (two years ago) link
its a nice meltdown, she wrote an article comparing being called eve fartlow to literal torture lmao, thats what its all about baby

it’s not the first self-aggrandizing thing Fartlow has written or tweeted about, apparently

there’s some “these music artists who are anti-israel wouldn’t have been as popular as they are if I hadn’t written about them” tweet that blew my mind in her feed! good stuff

just looked at her feed and it’s 90% retweets of people saying how she’s been viciously attacked the lady is definitely being hoisted on her own petard

Wonder if she's related to Lou Fartlow?

Sure you can. In fact, people unavoidably do it all the time. It may not be a particularly robust estimate. But this is the whole basis of Bayesian thinking. https://t.co/4jMgty2z24— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) May 27, 2021

something about being a pundit in the social media era, the simultaneous hit and boost your ego takes when a million people tell you to eat shit, fragile psyches arent equipped to handle it
― lag∞n, Thursday, 27 May 2021 16:52 (two years ago) link
It’s even more egregious when someone like Nate Silver assigns a percentage to something like this, because millions will believe it must be data-based instead of ass-based.— John Smith (@GOP_U) May 27, 2021

the e*e b*rl*w instagram, which I clicked on for reasons I will not delve into, is wacky. she uses it as a… platform for screenshots of her tweets, and to manually image-retweet things and comment on them off of twitter?
this is some kind of weird strategy I am unfamiliar with
― mh, Thursday, 27 May 2021 17:10 (two years ago) link
so is Nate Silver's position basically "I can't tell the difference between true things and false things, so I'll just say it's 50/50 but tilted in favor of the side that isn't currently yelling at me?" dude's got a bad case of Dilbertbrain

If life has taught me nothing else, it's that when there's an unusually long delay for your order at the coffee shop/restaurant/whatever, there probably was some snafu ("they forgot to put it in") and you're not being a jerk for politely inquiring about it.— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) May 26, 2021
