News I Never In Any Sane Lifetime Need

Twitter is a dumpster fire. At least Facebook is useful in that my friends and family are there. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything good, informative, or useful come out of Twitter.

Edit: I'll amend this. Nothing politically useful comes out of Twitter. Why people think our national discourse needs High School For Adults is beyond me, but here we are.

It's a thread, as evidenced by the spool in the tweet. WhiskeyGrinder Oct 2021 #7

I am not on twitter, so I do not know to what "spool" you refer. Most of the time, niyad Oct 2021 #8

I am not on twitter. I do not go to twitter, and I do not see anything resembling a spool. niyad Oct 2021 #12

Okay. But now I'm curious what you do see in the OP. WhiskeyGrinder Oct 2021 #15

I noticed the spool is an emoji. Not everyone has the same set of emojis. CaptainTruth Oct 2021 #17

I have a pos computer that has some peculiar glitches in it. niyad Oct 2021 #23

Something that indicates the post is only a tweet link would be helpful, DeeNice Oct 2021 #10

Why can't you access twitter? WhiskeyGrinder Oct 2021 #11
