Twitter C/D

it is very good

if it was only the word "panny" it would already be of immeasurable worth

lmao one of my oldest buds has a 500+ like reply to that thread that is just like “wow do I love my wife”

thread reminded me vividly of a few terrifying conversations I had when I went back to grad school and met a bunch of single 20-somethings navigating life in a new city

More companies should just buy a bunch of land somewhere and build company towns. Pay people to move five minutes from the office. Reap the employee satisfaction.

*leaves thread*

there's an inverse correlation between how funny a joke is and how labored the setup is

I believe in you.
That's it. That's the whole tweet. That's all it needs to be.
If I can do it, so can you.

Twitter is badly in need of a copy editor

i scanned his tweets and thought "seems like a hard working american to me, i don't know"

That's too bad! I just had him banned for doing a "that's it that's the tweet" and then writing more anyway

Try clearing your cookies. I've been dealing with that in incognito only for some reason (still get the popup in normal chrome but can just X out normally) and even then, if you open the tweet in a new tab you should be able to scroll normally. This is for PC only, I can't get it to work on mobile.

i have to do this multiple times a week on desktop and mobile, for some reason chrome just doesn't register the "never allow cookies" setting. annoying

oops

just a little oopsie

hey who wants to invest in our unmonetizeable garbage fire

unnecessarily harsh sloganeering for this year's ilx fundraiser imho

Joyce Carol Oates is really tearing it up on Twitter lately, getting ratioed left and right. The latest outrage involving some speculation about non-binary pronouns’ acceptance in English

that was painful to see

she did title one of her great novels Them. They is not much of a stretch

love how she has an open mind about isis but considers halloween decorations an absolute insult to life itself

she’s a literary-minded 83 year old

i mean so am i but that doesnt stop me from correctly ranking isis and halloween on the evilness chart

lot of self confidence from the literary sect on all fronts

don't hate her, she has written some pretty great novels

i dont hate her most of her tweets are pretty funny, part of what makes it work is shell have some harebrained idea but then the tweets are really compellingly written because obvs shes good at writing, and its also funny because shes a famous writer basically just out there shitposting, and shes old too lol, its all pretty delightful, the transphobic ones are actually bad tho

I guess her most jaw-dropping tweet to date, for me, was the one from several years ago where she suggested that clinically depressed people should simply read some Ancient Greek drama.

Tbf god knows I’ve made some terrible tweets (normally quickly deleted) and I generally appreciate people who don’t filter their thoughts too much or apologize too freely

lmao its so loony how could you even be mad

hey good news i cured depression its called sophocles your welcome

tbh my eczema cleared up after reading antigone that's called science

pretty sure that's not what she was saying but i found another tweet where she gave a rave review to ricky gervais' after life so i'm not gonna go crazy trying to defend her.

this is the funniest addendum this app has ever put on one of my tweets pic.twitter.com/I8QWUAcVeq

lol I wonder if you put the right combination of names in a tweet you get that warning

Donald Trump Epstein Lula Orban Bernie Tony Blair

"Conversations like this can be stupid"

Football · Trending
Jamal Adams
Fans assess Jamal Adams' performance after the Seahawks safety said he was the 'best in the nation' during his video introduction in Seattle's Sunday Night Football showdown against the Steelers

the way Twitter phrases their trending topics is so weird and oftentimes hilarious

And with this we can now close Twitter and possibly the whole human experiment

I like the early Beatles, early Elvis, early Bob Dylan and early Rolling Stones. “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” by Neutral Milk Hotel is a great album. Nirvana did some good stuff.

I like early-80s Hinckley.

lmao

lol Pareene made same joke

this photo of a Kroger remodel from 2018 keeps showing up followed by a million credulous responses about how the US is facing soviet-style food shortages

I know it's fun to believe anything you see on the internet, but it really isn't that difficult to step out of your house and go to a supermarket and see that you can buy whatever you want at any time.

new update is godawful. seems built to highlight promoted tweets, i’ve been muting brand accounts left and right

dud

was not expecting today’s discourse to feature ‘nancy reagan gave magnificent head’

i refuse to believe it, she obvs just gave a lot of head
