I rarely actually laugh out loud at a tweet, but here we are...

Josh Allen looks like he’s about to finger someone in a 1981 Camaro.

[Erik Ritland @HumbugBugbear]

Aww. Totes adorbs.

[Yoko Ono @yokoono]

Happy Birthday George!

Now that I have a blue checkmark, that means I'm better than everyone else, right? That's how this works?

Band name idea: Muskrat Cabal.

[Erik Ritland @HumbugBugbear]

Not useful.

@DisquietPessoa @jaycaspiankang 💯

If I was Josh Allen when Patrick Mahomes started complaining about the refs at the end-of-game handshake, I would have said, "Dude, we would have beat you anyway, y'all aren't that good this year."

Mahomes/Andy Reid acted like clowns after that game. And they're dead wrong.

@Zimmy_TB My favorite song of all time.

Spotify Wrapped reminding me, like always, that everyone has terrible taste in music except for me.

[Erik Ritland @HumbugBugbear]

I don't listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving because I don't let department stores dictate how I live my life.

@TheBandPodcast Also, like I said, Robbie receives way more hate on Band groups on FB. It isn't particularly close.

[Erik Ritland @HumbugBugbear]

@TheBandPodcast Your post of "Atlantic City" had 7.1k likes and 229 comments that were 99% positive. It took me to get down to like the 100th comment before there was one negative one. Which I thought you deleted?

Around 25% of people will be assholes. No reason to give them any attention.

[Erik Ritland @HumbugBugbear]

I won't take Snoop Dogg seriously about anything he says until he goes back to being Snoop Lion.

[Erik Ritland @HumbugBugbear]

@TheBandPodcast The double comma instead of periods is a nice touch too lol

[Erik Ritland @HumbugBugbear]

@TheBandPodcast The Levon Helms band, lol

[Erik Ritland @HumbugBugbear]

@TheBandPodcast Amen, brother.

[Erik Ritland @HumbugBugbear]

@TheBandPodcast I'm actually kind of curious. Because all I ever saw on FB was virulent, unnecessary anti-Robbie hate everywhere. But it wouldn't surprise me to find out that everyone's an asshole lol.

[Erik Ritland @HumbugBugbear]

@wil_da_beast630 "Cope" is a magic phrase that denigrates an opinion and stops conversation without any real argument.

Everything you say, Wilfred, is cope.

And this post of mine is also cope.

We all lose this way. It's the modern version of Chesterton's old 'thought that stops all thought.'

[Erik Ritland @HumbugBugbear]

@TheBandPodcast In fact, on your two most recent posts of 90s Band, all the comments are positive. I'm guessing it's a different animal on Facebook though. The "dozens" number I find hard to believe, though I'm guessing you were exaggerating for effect, which is fine.

[Erik Ritland @HumbugBugbear]

@TheBandPodcast As an outside observer whose favorite Band member is Richard, it's clear to me that anti-Robbie people are way more annoying than pro-Robbie people, and it isn't particularly close.
