    She's covering up the tatas in prep for being an Orthodox mrs., I see. Good on you, Ivanka.

    Now, that's "baruch attah," not "ba-rook attah," once more with feeling.

    "The Trump Card"? Doesn't that already refer to when you get a job because of who your dad is?
    As in "Her dad put her though college, gave her a job, and let her use his connections. She's totally playing the Trump card."

    The most ironic things is no one reads *anyone elses* tweets but their own.


    The social *net* is phantom. We like to think our followers care about our every tweet. In reality, they don't give a shit about anyone but themselves.

    Conformity with Pareto's Law is not to be unexpected. (That is, for a given activity, a few sources will almost always originate most of the events. And it doesn't mean that exactly 20% of the sources will account for 80% of the outcomes, in the way that the lamebrains I work with seem to think that the two percentages must tally to 100%.) Thanks for the fun stats, Ryan.

    @The Lone Scout: So, Ryan, what's the relationship among Gawker, wit, and Pareto? What percentage of the entire Gawker organization's commenters are starred, and of all the comments that have been written at Gawker's websites, what percentage have been provided by these starred commenters?

    Apropos of not much, but I can't believe people actually Twitter. Like, that they sit there and think "Ohhh, shit I just had a pretty good sandwich, I better let everyone I met once at a party a few years ago know how awesome my lunch was. Fuck I'm so interesting". It seems so useless and just kind of weird. Meh, I guess sometimes I wish I was in my 50s because my peers have me worried.

    @blogissuchanuglyword: Sigh. This reaction is just becoming a caricature.


    Twitter is just a blog with shorter posts. I don't get why so many people continue to have this weird picture of it in their minds.

    @KurticusMaximus: But, I mean, blogs were shorter versions of actual news and stories and now we have to shorten those? And why does everyone have to blog? I have read maybe 4 interesting blogs in my entire life. (Only 1 of those was about sandwiches currently being consumed.)


    And, lets say there is an earthquake tomorrow, I would prefer to just feel the ground move rather than read that it is in fact moving by some sandwich eating asshole on the Internet.


    I guess what I'm saying is just that I reserve my right to hate Twitter. Just as you may continue to Tweet. But just know that I pity you.
