Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Books are my comfort food!

He imagines himself as The Big Bad, Who Is Universally Feared… instead of The Big Jagoff, Who Is Universally Mocked.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

He seems like a smart guy, but JFC, what a dick!

The real work of an opposition party is to hold the people in power accountable.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

This entire thread is epic. I wish I could embed the entire thing for you, but you’ll just have to click over to read the rest of the story (click on any tweet to get you there).

A few tweets later and now he knows he’s not alone….. (and of course, someone points out later that there is the shadow of a person in his window…INSIDE THE HOUSE).

This is ONLY the beginning. Click on the first tweet to read the entire story. Tom is a comic book author, so is funny and suspenseful:

#1 NYT Bestselling writer-INJUSTICE, FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN, X-MEN: RED, DCEASED, BATMAN, WOLVERINE, STAR WARS comics. Creator/EP -THE DEEP on Netflix

And part of his story made it to TIME magazine – but they didn’t stick around for the end.

And I’m imagining all of this was a way for him to procrastinate on his latest project!

    Because of the teddy bear, I think you’re correct, but I’m still curious.

    Ah, imagination can terrify! I can never sleep after a scary movie. Every creak is a slasher inching toward my closed door.

    Twitter Narratives can be good when done well (like here). Done badly, its basically PowerPoint for the internet.

    How many dreary, soul-sucking 200-image PowerPoint lectures have I attended over the last 25 years… It’s worse when they give you a binder with all the images collected for you to look at WHILE the presenter reads them aloud as they click by on the big screen.

    Gack. Kill me now.

    @leeleeFL: Every house that I lived in I put in sliding glass doors for the shower and tub. Clear are the best. That was the end of shower curtains for me.

    @JPL: I think I still missed some tweets, but I got the main parts. Thanks! And I would have bailed on that cabin in the middle of the night.

    This so captures the essence of how I felt recently upon discovering mice live in our building. I’ll never forget waking up one morning at 4, one of the days with the extra large moon, ans seeing a silhouette of a mouse sitting on the window ledge inside my apartment and not 2 feet from me. Sneaking in and out of my kitchen; erecting barricades into the laundry room. Awaking yelling at every random noise. And seeing a mouse-sized hole in the window insect screen just this morning leading into my bedroom.

    We had a rule – presenter could NOT have a copy of the slides, nor could they read them from looking at the screen. We / they could glance at the slide to grasp the topic, then had to talk about what we knew about the point the slice was making. Vast improvement.

    No point to reading the PP to an audience capable of reading! Stupid!!!

    Have no idea what the twitter story was really about, think it was creative writing experiment. Got a little ways into it and said, not good enough a story!
