who is the most embarrassing person you ever followed on Twitter, however briefly?
mine is RedSteeze during a brief period of trying to understand conservatives, but Austen Allred is honorable mention

He did a neat thread on spooky architecture, so I followed.
Didn't take long to start seeing red flags...
Same bit for 20 years
I am sure I said some heinous shit somewhere in there but it was confined to a niche music channel and a semi-niche regional one

Not that I would know anything about that…
Fuck.
Let me try again (clears throat):
James Comey
P.S. I have quit two out of those three, but a girl needs her caffeine
In my defense 8-10 years ago he was a Bloomberg writer and not nearly as nuts as he is now.
what else do I need to say
I'm sorry.
* I know, I know
Sad proof that having a bunny for a pet doesn't make the person any less horrifically tone deaf to fascism.
I had a lot of media literacy to learn on that app.
(All Stephen Millers Are Bastards)
Regardless, there is functionally infinite fissile material available on earth for a reasonable price
I certainly have never heard estimates of effectively infinite fissibles: more like currently identified sources giving us a ~230yr window at _current_ consumption
I've never heard physicists who are as optimistic as you are, or that seawater extraction is materially feasible at scale.
Something like, "If this person isn't insane, I'm going to wait for somebody else to confirm that. For now, back away slowly."
I'll take Albini and the Raygun guys any day.
This was after the cancer diagnosis, btw. He was very melancholic.
In my defense, I was a pissed off Bernie voter still in college.
I never followed him but WasBappin followed me, which is probably more embarrassing than any of my follows.
Just an open spigot of look at me rage baiting.

But I did write a comment on one of his blog posts he liked enough to write a lengthy reply to
I'dlike to say Sullivan was sane then but I was also much better at ignoring stuff
I was new to Twitter and thought he had some great thoughts. That lasted about 2 days when I realized he really didn't have anything meaningful to add.
Those damn long threads.
Of couse because you have typed his name he has now blocked you. If that hadn't happened yet.
She’s not here, is she?
I have that same feeling when I see posts from the large resistance accounts. People can follow who they want, but I don't see a lot of added value from them. I tend to follow mid-level accounts. Their commentary is far better, imo.
That is hugely embarrassing to admit today.
I caught one of those comic-culture-analysis things he posted, thought it was interesting, and hung around entirely too long waiting for more of them or for them to go deeper, before realizing his appearance of intellectualism masked a mind as deep as a puddle.
mueller she wrote?
ohhhhhh
mark ames. in my defense i'm old enough it predated the book and came when i joined in like 09
There is an interesting dichotomy, I think, between "people who were always awful but hid it well" and "people who were okay and then went *way* off the deep end."
And [quietly] some of them are still kicking around THIS place, of course.
