Memes/Tweets (No politics)

@rocky-rockbottom That's one of Nick Mullen's accounts (his is suspended, like his Facebook account). He hosts the very funny Cum Town podcast.
He also did the "Nicole Mullen" articles on Thought Catalogue:
How To Get Fucked Like An Artist
I want to fill my pussy with bees. I want a thousand stingers pressed into my walls at the same time. I want to go into anaphylactic shock, and slip into a coma. I want the bees to set up camp in my swollen pussy. I want them to fill it with wax and cause alarm when some neighborhood kids are hospitalized after playing too close to it. I want the parents to petition city hall to do something about my problematic pussy. I want city hall to hire an exterminator. I want the exterminator to gas my pussy, and scoop out all the dead bees and honey. I want them to seal it off, and hide it from future children and future bees. I want stories of my bee pussy to become apocryphal legend. I want my pussy to be summer camp lore. Something the kids speak of before lights out, to scare each other.
What the actual fuck?

Massive pumelling for twitter overnight.
They simply haven't done enough to reduce the amount of crap traffic that flows through. Look at the replies to any celebrity / politician - they are simply full of abuse / trolling - many are deciding that it simply isn't worth it.
It can be turned around, but twitter simply haven't done enough and this massive move is deserved.
-
@MajorRage yeah all of the replies to anyone famous are just fucking weird. Either there's a lot of complete crazies out there or a lot of bots. A bit of both no doubt.
If you follow the right people and stay away from that side of it then it can be pretty awesome I reckon. Plenty of really good accounts.

I saw this on Twitter today, and I thought it merited some discussion.
This says so much about Twitter, but also politics in general. To think that someone would be happy to lose their father because of his political persuasion is just mind-boggling.
But more than that, it is a prime example of the deluded Boomers that seem to be flocking to Twitter. They tweet millions of times, always frothing about the politics of the day.
In reality, federal politics barely touches my life. It barely touches anyone's life, really. To make it an obsession, as so many of these people do, is so unhealthy and sad. I wonder if this all existed before Twitter and these bored old people just wrote letters to the editor or something, but I can't help thinking that social media has made it all worse.
Go outside for fuck's sake, take up a hobby. When I see tweets like the above (which I do regularly) my overwhelming feeling is pity.

Certainly made it easier and more visible. Previously you had to suspect that you were surrounded by retards, now they proudly display their ignorance and stupidity on social media.
It's a genuine wonder that mankind has reached this level of achievement when surrounded by this level of idiocy and self importance. A clear example of Prices Law in effect.

Mine is bewilderment. A growing acceptance that as a species, we're probably in our zenith. And recognising that it may have always been that way...

I agree, there are a lot of people that seem utterly addicted to political Twitter and just live in there, becoming more and more detached from reality. I enjoy the political discussions, but it's important to remember that a lot of these political commentators overplay everything to suit their narrative. If something controversial happens on Twitter, you can bet next to nobody in real life knows or cares about it despite it appearing to be a big deal there. The political discussions on there are insanely polarized - the anonymity of people's accounts adds to that as people feel they can say whatever they want without consequences.

It’s bizarre how they think it’s the real world, the latest insanity I’ve noticed is terfblockers

Not twitter but Instagram

How utterly fucked in the head do you have to be to go on some weird political rant when talking about the loss of your father and your first father's day without him. I'll bet the eulogy was a doozy.
-
Huh, I read that differently. Not that they were exactly happy to lose their father, but just relieved the father wasn't alive to see something he would have hated. Am I missing something?
No.
That's exactly what it was.
Not a ”rant”, but a misguided and inappropriate use of her father's death in a (probably ”yet another”) political comment. -

And the notion that her father would rather be dead than witness Scott Morrison as Prime Minister.
Which is just so patently absurd. Sure the man's no Roosevelt, but he's a fairly middle-of-the-road pollie who will deliver a fairly middle-of-the-road performance before losing at the next election to another middle-of-the-road pollie.
If he was marching people off to death camps then I could maybe understand. But to yearn for death just because of this one fairly inoffensive man is profoundly bizarre.

Serena Williams gate has proven beyond all doubt that it’s now just a platform for the anti white male brigade to shout their views and get a few likes / retweets to reinforce their own racist and sexist views.
As an entity it’s truly quite biased. There is little objectivity and reason.
Society simply won’t move forward until the truly savvy start looking at racist / sexist views / laws and commence acting on them.
Woman and ppl aren’t white aren’t above law.

Sooner or later sensible people will realise Twitter is a cesspit of the mentally ill and ignore it, much like tumblr.

Tumblr has pretty much been taken over by porn hasn’t it?
