I keep saying Twitter is full of ostensible adults who felt some need to return to the toxicity that is assholes in high school.

I can't stand the place.

The worst part, IMO, is that the MSM are all over Twitter now, reporting things on Twitter, and creating entire stories based on what people are saying on Twitter (Buzzfeed shithole, I'm looking at you).

Journalism is dying. What Twitter is on about isn't news unto itself. But it's sure a very easy, lazy way to tap out a story.
