I fucking hate Twitter. I left Facebook at the end of May and have absolutely no plans of returning. They’ve become cauldrons of misery...the playgrounds of trolls.

There is no moral standing on gerrymandering. You can’t argue for it in any way shape or form.

Allow me to commend you on not having Twitter.

I think it’s actually worse than that, precisely because it’s not going to be cemented permanently. Republicans seem to be under the impression that if people can’t get their needs met through small-d democratic means, then they will just give up on their needs being met.

I just don’t understand why they’d do this. Why would they give such a tacit endorsement to the racism and white grievance culture that this represents? I appreciate that these invitations are traditional and everything but I really thought Trump would draw the line somewhere.

It’s almost like giving potentially every person on earth a globe-spanning bullhorn to broadcast every random thing that came into their heads was a bad idea.

Weird Twitter is the only good Twitter.

I never saw the reason behind sharing 140 characters of bullshit. I don’t access my twitter account for months at a time.

Stop stop we’re already dead from yesterday :(

You really think you’ve said something here, don’t you? Congrats.

At least [Kareem Hunt] didn’t do something truly egregious, offensive and unforgivable; like take a knee during the anthem.

Letting Nazis scream at strangers unimpeded is kind of Twitter's thing.
