Re: Get a blog!

Someday blogs will be cool again, in the same way that cassette tapes are cool again.

They are. I just threw away my Roxette cassette.

1 is fully my position. Email newsletters are coming back, fully down for 2004 internet resurgence.

Blogs are truly one of the greatest formats.

Blogs are the vinyl of websites.

The blogosphere is full of faulty logic, dubious facts, poor argumentation, strident ideology, rampant falsehoods, characters of ill repute and many other things harmful to one's mental well being.

Upon close examination, I have determined that this guy is not the former speech writer who works for The Atlantic.

A few thoughts about twitter threads and comment threads.

There's no reason this should be a separate comment. (2/n)

I guess that was it. Just one thought. (3/3)

I was heartened by Hillary's refusal to throw single payer under the bus last night. Maybe if we get a democratic majority, she will go for it.

I was thinking of finding a blog I like and being active in the comments section. But do people even do that anymore?

At this point Hillary could blow a goat on live TV with the entire Supreme Court as witnesses that it wasn't faked and I'd still give her the benefit of the doubt. From Whitewater to Vince Foster to the Travel office to emails to Benghazi - it's a litany of nothingburgers screamed from the hilltops by the right wing bullshit machine.

True. Though there are a few hardcore deluded Bernie write-in people I see on my Twitter TL.

This seems like a good use of Twitter. Some right wing trolls are paid to fling their poo. Waste their resources with a technological solution.

My tumblr has 1800 posts and six followers on Feedly, so at this rate I should break into double digits in the next 18 months. Blogs are definitely not dead.
