Real life ain't Warhammer

Such a legendary feature

Now, I'm largely against the deification of any public figures. It's much too far a leap to idolize an individual based on their public persona. Look at Elon Musk as an example. A few years back, the internet treated him as some sort of real-life Tony Stark. An individual who was fighting for a brighter technological future for the world. But guess what? He ended up being an unhinged, cringe, attention-seeking megalomaniac. Never take famous people at face value. That being said, I'm willing to…

A glance at the week that was.

The bird app is no longer

Meta has officially launched its Threads app. Created as a clear and intentional Twitter competitor, the new platform has shaken up the internet. It seems Threads has come at the perfect time. A lot of people, myself included, have grown a bit tired of the constant shakeups on Twitter. The Elon Musk acquisition and his variety of non-sensical platform changes have only managed to damage the social media site. So it's a pretty easy decision to at least check out the app. Perhaps, it will prove i…

Tweets are now a precious resource

A big focus on the wrath of the ocean.

It's a tale as old as time. After a long day of staring at your screen in anger, you're standing (or maybe sitting, crying) in the shower. Just trying to wash away the agony of the day. As you lather up your hair with sweet-smelling shampoo, there it is. A “Eureka!” moment. No, not the meaning of life. But the perfect zinger that would have absolutely destroyed that annoying bully in the office cafeteria, or perhaps that obnoxious Twitter troll you wanted to clobber with words. It's unfortunate…

Here we go again.

Twitter has almost always been a controversial zone. Over the past few years, it feels like it's gotten…worse. Worse in the sense that there are more people on the site spewing hot takes and stupid sentiments. It's also worse because Donald Trump isn't around to spice things up. Yeah, we said it. Lately, however, the site has been embroiled with a little extra drama. This has a lot to do with Elon Musk's acquisition of the ‘Bird app.’

Also, Elon's burner account is even weirder than we could have guessed it would be.

No more Elon?

There's no way around it: Twitter's been a bit of a mess lately. Just last week they removed blue checks from anyone who isn't paying for Twitter Blue. Y'know, besides the likes of LeBron James , Dril, and Stephen King. It's a funny grift, and there were plenty of accounts having a field day with their new place as “normal” Twitter users. While we were kind of terrified about what our feed would look like after the axe fell ( Elon Musk said our For You pages would be all verified), we've still…

Why is he RPing his son??

Twitter verification is among the few things the bird website ever did right. People try to impersonate celebrities online constantly, and verification used to be an easy way to ensure someone was who they said they were. Unfortunately, Elon Musk is now the owner of Twitter, and he got mad that journalists he disagreed with had the same blue check that he did. So, he introduced Twitter Blue so ordinary people could buy a Twitter verification for $8 a month. Everybody roasted it for the stupid i…
