“X will literally do y rather than go to therapy” has been sent to my Twitter phrase banlist
I'm super fascinated by this idea people have that "therapy" is some kind of trump card sneer that automatically wins all arguments. Definitely makes an winning tweet tho, and that's what it's all about, right? https://t.co/YUxvdM3EJy— Ian Bogost (@ibogost) August 31, 2022

A couple weeks ago my account was locked for 24 hours because I tweeted "someone should hang for this" in response to a tweet talking about how an 80s cult film currently isn't available for streaming anywhere or in print on DVD.Yesterday I reported someone for a tweet in a thread about the jackson water crisis where they used the ableist r slur in reference to black mayors and said they were all city killers and twitter said the post was fine.Elon might as well already own the site.

it usually takes weeks to hear back about reporting someone
i think i've done it about a dozen times, i remember feeling good about it later twice or so, the other times they either didn't respond or i missed it or something

ok the fact that Amtrak can just post "trains" and get 1000x more likes than their average tweet is deeply funny to me
― frogbs, Friday, 2 September 2022 02:55 (one year ago) link
trains are pretty cool tho? there's even a term for people who are really into trains; it may even predate twitter
a dude weeping about lobsters and carbs and getting 1000x likes is a new phenomenon, however, and presents a clear challenge to president joe biden and his liberal agenda

In other circumstances, I might view entirely duplicative subpoenas served for such tactical purposes as problematic. Where, as here, the subpoena recipient Tweets the subpoenaing attorneys the middle finger and a video of someone urinating on subpoenas, I am less bothered by it.

i think its saying people think the internet is some magical always on thing but really its subject to the physical world, which is maybe true but doesnt really warrant the sage insight tone, i mean who gives a shit if twitter goes down really, except for caek who has to do some prob annoying work on it

I dunno. Maybe they mean climate change could wipe out the vast store of valuable tweets just like the Library of Alexandria was destroyed.

I think they mean that data doesn't float around in an actual magic cloud, it lives in servers that are subject to environmental impacts just like everything else.
