For years I've been calling Jack Dorsey a slimy character and his creation a sewer. Now here's David Simon, one of the world's leading TV producers and owner of a MacArthur grant and a mountain of Emmy awards, saying the exact same thing.
Look, at this point the only good stuff on Twitter comes from people like Tom Scharpling (
@Scharpling), Weird Twitter master
Wint@Dril, and the
Chapo Trap House people;
Will Menaker, the show's "leader", is
being sued for the tweet "Rat faced baby killer and Trump PR homunculus, Jason Miller, is suing my girlfriend for $100 million, cool!" because said girlfriend Katherine Kruger wrote
a piece on
Splinter reporting that court documents in the custody battle between Miller and A.J. Delgado revealed that Miller had previously dated a stripper in Orlando, Florida whom he had gotten pregnant. Miller's brilliant solution was to drop an abortion pill in a smoothie, bring it to "Jane Doe" and have her drink it. She nearly bled to death from the induced abortion, the fetus died, Doe spent days in the hospital, and Miller was forced to pay a sum of money while she signed a non-disclosure agreement. (Funny how all the Trumpers use NDAs for
everything.)
.....Besides Menaker,
Chapo wiseass Felix Biederman has been doing Weird Twitter for years as
@ByYourLogic, and the great Tolstoyan brain of the outfit
Matt Christman who gave us such gems as "This is the stupidest day in American history, a record that will be broken by every subsequent day in American history." when Trump was inaugurated; "It’s gonna rule when Susan Collins is re-elected because the fine country dullards of Maine split their opposition vote between a Democratic health insurance dracula and a crusty Independent tugboat captain who wants to bring back original recipe Moxie.", after the Kavanaugh train wreck.
Aand there's also
Virgil Texas, being extremely online.
Still "Globally Banned" on Wikipedia for the high crime of journalism.
