Re: People who are on twitter.
Also, I mean, I write a lot of jokes on Twitter (or RT jokes since I'm not really super funny too often). Twitter is awesome for jokes.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Re: People who are on twitter.
Okay. I admit fully that my experience is seeing stuff that other people repost, which is usually either a news-y blurb or some observation that is either crudely controversial (leading to Ricky Gervais/Kevin Smith/Patton Oswalt/etc getting snippy with those who take exception) or a short joke.Flex wrote:I tend to think of it as more conversational than sound bite-ish per se. I mean, the idea is you toss some stuff out there and have folks respond to it sort of organically. It can often end up being pretty sound bite-y, but I think people who are just tossing of sound bites without any interest in having it be part of a discussion are missing out on a pretty huge value of the medium.

Holy shit, man. Tankies are like the left's equivalent of MRA/GamerGate people. Relentless harassment.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Twitter Stalinists are also called Anime Marxists, I think on account of their anime avatars and Stalinist anime memes.Dr. Medulla wrote:I'd never heard the term before and just googled it.

They regularly refer to Trotsky as a "Nazi collaborator."
