Twitter has major corruptions. Consider the new update:

Starts at "Home," a fraudulently-named, politically-&-financially vetted curation, with a similar "Who to follow" advertisement. Always.

Your existing/saved searches have vanished.

No language translation is available in timeline.

No combination of condensed ('basic') page loads or copy+paste can save tweets to disk for offline storage.

The enterprise is now every bit as sinister and debauched as the New York Times across the 20th century and beyond, as is Google.



…And yet, when you make the right connections in Twitter, the illumination can be gloriously rich.

Gays flirt this way. You know this.

Happy Moon Landing, y'all!

What does age have to do with it? she's obviously a gold digging grave robber! insist on a pre-nup, Lumiere!

Time to rerun a favorite factoid: The Royal Navy floats one-quarter as many watercraft as does the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

Headline.

Resign!

Gotta hit the road here in a few minutes, but this is a list (in progress) of the people I spend all my time hating each and every day:

• Intellectual 'elites' who imagine themselves ensconced in a meritocracy.
  
  
• Intellectual 'elites' who are in fact ensconced in a meritocracy.
  
  
• The countless lesser lights, often Trump voters, who're rightly reacting against their placement in this merciless counter-capitalist scheme but who're too inarticulate to say out loud what's happening to them or who're too distractable to even recognize it.
  
  
• Tepid, oblivious, un-accomplished 'minorities' (and others) who've never done a goddamn thing for another goddamn person in their whole lives but who're so pathetically deluded in their swirling interior neediness that they presume those who actually do make things happen in life are somehow "privileged."

A hideous form of mainstream media bias:

Why Media’s Normalizing of White Nationalists Matters

Feel-good story of the evening:

3,000 strangers show up to funeral of Vietnam veteran with no family

Well, duh, a 10-year-old chandelier would be jailbait. I think she's a gold digger...

New code of personal conduct--

Don't care if it's the NYT, the WaPo, the KJV or the Intergalactic Sex Collective...

Don't care if it's Krugman, McArdle, the Son of God or Taylor Swift...

If a webpage asks me to turn off my Ad Blocker, I won't read the article/editorial.

I'm tired of them pretending that the surrender of my digital identity is merely the annoyance of an ad for a hotel chain using flashing Gifs.

If you're the kind of thinker whose ideas require that kind of penurious commercial distribution, your silly theses will never be missed.
