In 2014 I spent a bit of time walking around favelas in Rio during the World Cup, then came home to read fantasyland accounts of the Brazil Experience by journalists who'd never left the tourist zone. Anyway, nice to see that John Gruber is having a lovely time on Twitter

Somewhat!

Had never followed but also hadn't muted. Paid for that today!

I've never followed him and (mostly) appreciate the "they're saying crazy shit again" reposts just so I'm at least generally aware of the current day's stupidity. But yeah, this is way over the line.

I saw one responsible biggish-account person post half a screenshot with a description, which I appreciate and at least gave me slight warning when whoever RT'd Rupar put that shit square in my TL. Unbelievable.

Like fine you do good work documenting the day-to-day lunacy but what the entire fuck dude.

Somebody tell Aaron Rupar that reposting horrific shit from the president's account means he is posting horrific shit. What the fuck man.

Shut up!

Spent all that money to get the rights to "Stairway to Heaven" when they could've gotten "Lazy Sunday" — a superior tune, and far more thematically appropriate — for a fraction of the cost.

Also how did this go this far this quickly

It's dangerous out here!

hahahahahahhaha it's wild!

Did not anticipate how many staunch Jim Hetfield defenders hang out on this website.

The most indebted corporations in America right now are, at their core, computer virus companies. They think the computer viruses are their girlfriends, so they think this absolves them of guilt. Let's find out!

why are you shouting

🤷‍♂️

Jim Hetfield? The New York luxury brand aficionado?

You’ll regret that buddy

Did you post a screenshot of a bad tweet on my TL today? Was that you? If so, why? What were you thinking?

"but I like being on Twitter"
