This is one of the funniest tweets I’ve ever seen.

Researcher and doctorate @NoraEpstein on Twitter just posted a video of the new tattoo she got commemorating her PhD.

And… she footnoted the artwork, with a literal footnote 😂 I love this so much

Nothing sums up tumblr vs twitter more than which exposed youtuber people are worked up about

As funny as it can be to joke about the mess™ that is currently twitter, it's super depressing to see so much digital history destroyed because a billionaire is having a temper tantrum.

Decades of news, public reactions to political scandals and first hand accounts are suddenly erased, not to mention all the art that is now completely lost. It's all gone --just because of one man's fragile ego. It's actually really tragic to think about.

There's such an interesting cyber-anthropological phenomenon in feeling a communal pressure to act a certain way, or use the platform a certain way, when joining a new online space. Not in terms of the types of opinions or political views that are deamed acceptable, but in terms of specifics of etiquette and posting formats.

Making a Tumblr post that sounds "like a Twitter user" is met with scorn or derision a lot of the time. And when asking someone why they react like that, typically the answer is some form of "that kind of comedy doesn't work here" or "it doesn't sound right to post like that on this website", which is essentially just "it doesn't fit with the traditions I learned in this specific place".

I will always find the ways social media platforms evolve naturally like societies interesting.

this twitter thing is a circus, we can make lots of hellsite jokes, but also we're watching the world's richest man buy a communication platform used among other things by governments, scientists, and organizations to communicate with the public and each other (mostly the latter, governments should not be doing business with each other on twitter) and destroy it because nobody can tell him no, and that should terrify you.

Me looking at the initial oceangate's story: oh damn I bet there'll make movie at the end of this

Me finding out that the thing is a hunk of junk piloted by an Xbox controller featuring a CEO with a ridiculous name who refused to pay for glass that could withstand anywhere near the pressures advertised: this is going to be a killer internet historian doc in a year

Recently cannot stop watching this YouTube channel where a gay guy with a PhD in history teaches me how to make medieval recipes from the British Isles
