twitter is trying really really hard to get me to follow "topics" and the more I refuse the more strange and desperate they get
One of the funniest things about Twitter trying to get me to follow topics is that the topic will be something like "arts & culture" or "fine art" and then the tweet will be fan art of Loki
Hahaha love to be a theater buff
Fuck I should not have said the word "Loki" in my complaint about how the algorithm keeps trying to show me stuff about Loki. Rookie move. (Also, this isn't even a film review)
Me: I do not like how this site functions as a perpetual outrage and ridicule machine. I wish I could choose to follow only high-minded cultural topics
Twitter: Are you interested in discussing the topic of books?
I was starting to enjoy this thread but this Chrome extension is actually very nice so no more topic suggestions it is. I hope it doesn't remove the two topics I've actually chosen to follow too, but Bob and Taylor will understand
Oh well, the Minimal Twitter extension does not actually remove suggestions to follow Topics. In related news, Twitter thinks I may be interested in following the topic of "careers"
Twitter keeps recommending different topics, but there is only one topic
No matter what your interests, there's a topic for you to follow here on twitter dot com! Visual arts? Film reviews? Progressive rock? Social media? The variety is limitless!
Or perhaps you're more interested in the Topic: Hair Care. Hey, you know who has hair...?
The funny thing is I never once tweeted about L*ki before the algorithm started recommending a constant stream of Hiddlecontent. I had tweeted about W@nd@vision a few times so maybe that's it? But more likely it's that one of the few topics I did decide to follow is Taylor Swift

Sorry to hear that Danny Kalb, an old family friend and one of America's greatest white bluesmen, died today at 80. His soulful, blistering guitar was the core of The Blues Project in the 60s & 70s
If you can spare 11 minutes and 29 seconds to honor Danny's memory, spend it with his magnum opus, Two Trains Running, which also features him on vocals
Danny was a friend of my dad's from the University of Wisconsin, where they both got to know a visiting Bob Dylan. Sadly his attempt to get us backstage at a Dylan concert in Brooklyn by telling the guard they used to play together didn't work

How Ted Lasso lost the 🧵
A lot of people still aren't ready to admit it but it's clear that season 2 of Ted Lasso is not good, certainly not as good as S1. And I think the reason is everyone completely misunderstands why everyone loved S1.
Stop me if you've heard this one: Ted Lasso is so special because everyone really loves a man who is Kind, Gentle, Decent, Earnest, Optimistic, Compassionate, Your Adjective Here. And seeing that on TV is so refreshing and heartwarming. But this is not what S1 was about.

I've been following this lost cat drama and was reminded of what happened with my cat Straw at college in Oberlin (He was named Straw because I wasn't getting along with my roommate and when I brought him home he said This is the last straw! and moved out. That's not the story)
Straw was an indoor/outdoor cat with no collar because I was young and foolish and believed that He Had His Own Fate. He used to follow me four blocks to campus every morning and then turn around and go home on his own. He was a good cat.
Sometimes he'd stay out for a day or two but he'd always come back so I never worried. Then one time he didn't come back. Days, then weeks, then a month. I resigned myself to the fact that he was gone for good. Then, after 5 or 6 weeks, he showed up again like nothing was wrong!

OK my poor memory is driving me crazy. What's the novel that's has what sounds like a very similar premise: a secret society of immortals who are born into new bodies when they die and leave messages for each other across time and are trying to stop and/or begin the apocalypse?
Googling points me to a series called The Incrementalists which sounds even more like the book I'm remembering, but I skimmed the preview of it on Amazon and I don't think that's what I had in mind!
Thanks to @pomodrunkard for coming up with answer: The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August (I had the plot a bit wrong). Probably not all that similar to this new show, but seemingly very similar to a different book called The Incrementalists which was clogging up my search

There was a terrible crime in my neighborhood early yesterday evening. A retired cop was shot dead on the street. This comes at a time of rising gun violence in NY. The killer was on the scene when police arrived but was not arrested. Why not? (This is like one of those riddles!)
I read every article I could find and have tried to piece together what happened. But like the police, the local news seems remarkably uncurious about the killer. In fact, I'm only assuming he was not arrested because none of the news articles even mention it either way.
The first article I saw was in the Daily News. This preview shows an old headline - "killed with his own gun" - the updated headline says "killed by a friend's gun". Either way, the Daily News is sure about one thing: the killer was a gun. nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-c…

Uh oh I just realized that my final playlist still has 21 songs on it. There will be a brief delay in posting as I agonize over which one to cut
Ugh, this is killing me! You know what, I'm gonna let you choose. For the playlist of Rare Gems (obscure songs that True Dylan Fans cherish and obsess over) which one should I keep?
Alt idea: Will this be how I win my Nobel Prize?
