The "I just left a hipster coffee shop" legend exists in all cultures
If only Joseph Campbell were alive to analyze this beloved universal myth
"I just walked into a Trojan restaurant and everybody was talking about how much they loved the cool giant horse present from the Greeks" - Homer, The Odyssey
I just walked into the National Liquor Retailers Convention, and they were all talking about how much they enjoyed the free publicity whenever my truck crashes into one of their stores
I just walked out of a coffee shop full of blue check Twitters and they were all whispering about how they should delete their accounts and seek psychiatric care for their uncontrollable self-validating delusions
A good rule of thumb for telling if someone is insane: they follow 100,000 people on twitter
jfc I follow only about 500 accounts, carefully curated to minimize exposure to nutjobs, and my Twitter feed still often reads like feces scrawls from a padded cell
the only way I can imagine what a twitter feed of 100,000 accounts must read like
In the future, I am going to block all accounts who do not follow me exclusively

I'm willing to agree that Twitter is an utterly dishonest company with a clownish Orwellian Truth Ministry that censors information in an obvious attempt to sway the election, if you will agree this is 100% perfectly legal.
I'd have a shit-ton more respect for Jack Dorsey if he just said, yes, Twitter is completely biased against Trump, and will continue to block information, true or not, that would help re-elect him, and the First Amendment means there's not a fucking thing you can do about it
These "but Section 230" replies are something else.

Yes, go ahead and repeal 230, this will totally make it illegal for Twitter to censor your Hunter Biden memes.

After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.

I told Twitter Support I had some of their secret Zoom meeting recordings
Contrary to too many conjectures, I was not suspended, nor have I ever been suspended by Twitter for any reason. Some asshole hacked my account, and got it back probably because a few notable people intervened on my behalf.
if you're looking for a culprit in the great Iowahawk hacking caper, look no further than this sack of shit. This account was magically created immediately after mine was hacked, renamed & deleted. Now serving all your natural health and Somali telecommunication needs

Van Halen played Hilton Coliseum at ISU the night before, then Diamond Dave led the Hawkeye marching band at halftime during the Iowa-ISU game at Iowa's Kinnick Stadium. VH played Cedar Rapids that night. /1
This still pisses me off because it reminds me how Iowa State (the supposed cow college) actually got good campus concerts, the latest MTV hair metal bands and New Wave groups, while Iowa (the supposed bohemian party school) didn't. /2

CNN can't deny America's unslakeable thirst for ratings magnet Jeffrey Toobin
the main difference between working in journalism and working at Panda Express is you probably can get fired for masturbating at work at Panda Express

Rejoice Zoom wankers, #MeToobin movement has arrived
"how would you want to be treated if you accidentally got caught pleasuring yourself during a work Zoom meeting?"

I think I'd be pleasantly amazed if I was able to escape with a suspension and some punitive mockery
No, there is absolutely nothing mockworthy about the New Yorker magazine assembling its intellectual A Team for a Zoom election simulation, and then the guy assigned to play the Supreme Court starts choking his chicken because he thinks the mute button turns of the camera
