@WettButt’s only tweet now links to @johnvvariety. I went through his timeline and cracked a smile at a Goofus and Gallant tweet from March. Everything else was both unfunny and incomprehensible. So I’m going to guess no, though my sense of humor is always in question (except when it comes to Jon Bois, Elmer’s Glue,

Also, the two candidates I can think of for best tweet ever.

Let’s have a thread for accounts on Twitter that are worth following. I’ll start.

Still getting used to the idea of Hamilton on Deadspin, but I enjoyed this article. Maybe this will be like when I realized that brussels sprouts actually taste pretty good if someone (alas, not me yet) cooks them properly.

That actually sounds delightful. My wish (though it would never work) would be to just keep myself on East Coast time and sleep from 3 to 11, which would be exactly how I would want to sleep...except now it would be from 12 to 8, which would work much better for practicality.

I spent the past week visiting my sister in Portland, and I dyed my hair partially orange, and drank delicious craft root beer, and generally had a solid relaxing time. Leaving aside that I am the worst and would continue to be the worst on the West Coast, I now have some thoughts about trying to move there some day.

In a world where Rob Ford and Marion Barry have been mayors of major cities, can we really count him out?

I do feel bad for his family. But if you a) knew that no matter what you did for the rest of your life, you would *always* be known first and foremost as “that congressman who sexted” and b) really liked sexting, why wouldn’t you keep doing it? And why would any of us be surprised by it? It’s not like Anthony Weiner

Well I didn’t say hand-to-hand combat. I said hand-to-nards combat.

Now that he’ll be at Deadspin, will you punch Hamilton Nolan in the nards any time he tries to write about something other than boxing? And if you are not planning on doing so, can you?

I would enjoy this as Jon Bois style normcore...but it doesn’t feel quite self aware enough. I could be wrong.

“Jussi Rastolainen thought he’d left diving behind after winning Finland’s only gold medal in the Melbourne games. But when a herd of moose gored the entire 2016 Olympic team to death, Jussi couldn’t abandon his country in its tragic time of need. This summer, Max von Sydow is...Finnishing The Dive.”

Jazmin Carlin finished 11.38 seconds behind Katie Ledecky. Her (Carlin’s, not Ledecky’s) final 100 m split was 60.10 seconds. 11.38/60.10*100 = 18.94 m. So if Carlin and Carter had morphed together into a furious swimming/shot put hybrid and thrown right as Ledecky hit the wall, their shot put would have overshot her

This might be my favorite version of truthering ever.

That might be more the people who ask him questions than the guy himself, but I know what you mean. Race For The Iron Throne is essential for sure.

7,000 percent here for Poor Quentyn’s Tumblr; that guy is great.

Figured that was it. If I’m ever back on Deadspin turf, I’m going to, I don’t know, eat dinner first maybe?

Why did Samer venmo me $15 with a thumbs up icon the night of the Deadspin Awards?

I bet the Egyptian would have felt a more inclusive spirit if he were matched up against And Sasson.
