@erinisaway Twitter gets weird about…well everything. But the normies get weird about sobriety, and men get weird about…well, again, everything

Counter point: Lawrence, KS is the epitome of a college town, and Kasas historically is political in a way that doesn’t neatly line up with right/left

Counter counter point: the novelty of these cultural exchanges is gonna be very cool for a few weeks, and I for one welcome it

[Dean Ammi @AlgerianFooty]

🗣️ “I want to say thank you to Algeria for choosing Lawrence, Kansas.” 🇺🇸

The locals in USA are all getting behind Algeria. 🇩🇿

@Tedoffthegrid Literally ruined my life for the slow-down juice

They fucking did it

Free idea: dragon fruit Mountain Dew

@SamGreszes It’s a start. Like, Good News… springboarded me into a lot more, and it still holds up. None of this is bad, most of it has aged nicely.

I love all this, and I can also still name like, half a dozen more obscure Glasgow indie/emo bands that were making great stuff circa 2009

Me riffing an impromptu lullaby for my son about not knowing if the sleepy train is coming into the station for the night, or picking him up on its journey is……annoyingly on brand

[Deadly Earnestness @lockmaaaan]

@sillycannongirl I can think of so, so MANY. But I do like Tally Hall being included; they don’t get enough respect, that first album still holds up.

[Deadly Earnestness @lockmaaaan]

@sillycannongirl Wait, are we talking passing out or blacking out?

[Deadly Earnestness @lockmaaaan]

The number of times I was asked about goddamn Mumford and Sons between 2009 and 2012 is probably only outweighed but the number of times I said (mostly unprompted) that Arctic Monkeys first two albums were and are superior.

Still true.

[Ashley Reese @offbeatorbit]

look, i'm not humorless so i can get behind jokes looking back on the hipster era just as much as the next girl who spent too much money at american apparel. But people have GOT to stop associating that scene with stomp clap lumineers shit. it's inaccurate!

@MrInvigorator @SickosCommittee Cactus Bowl at a baseball stadium is optimal Sickos

I like this as an alternative but I kinda roll my eyes at the “every broadcast should be like this” takes.

Y’all, 99% of us wouldn’t know fuck all if it wasn’t for even the most mediocre of announcers at the mic explaining who’s who and what’s happening.

[Awful Announcing @awfulannouncing]

NHL fans in Indianapolis have no broadcaster audio for Game 1 of the Stanely Cup Final. Here's how the first goal sounded on WRTV with only the in-arena sound.

[Deadly Earnestness @lockmaaaan]

Cover I’d, unfortunately, like to hear: Morrissey (booooooo), “No Children” originally by Mountain Goats

[Deadly Earnestness @lockmaaaan]

@suchnerve Be so careful, it will permanently pull you in if you’re not careful

[Deadly Earnestness @lockmaaaan]

Okay, MTSU, respect for this one

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

“A.I. is rewriting production as we sit here… deal with it. Like I said, it’s a tool… hear me now or pay me later.”

Scott Borchetta, a Nashville record label executive, gets booed by MTSU grads when he brings up A.I.

[Deadly Earnestness @lockmaaaan]

@lizaboth This is hardly debauchery! This is just dudes vibing, tomfoolery at most!

[Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives @darren_cullen]

I'm being left behind by the AI revolution in the same way I was left behind when Heaven's Gate ascended to join the spaceship that was hiding behind a comet.

[Deadly Earnestness @lockmaaaan]

“Why would you be on Twitter still, it’s nothing but racism and porn bots”

That’s a skill issue, y’all, I am getting so much intricate detail about the new Muppet roller coaster at Disney World.

@UGA_AlumADS1995 @38Godfrey A player who bets on his own team threatens the integrity of a sport.

An alcoholic who drives home from the bar can very directly end people’s lives.

Yes, the culpability rests on the individual in both cases IF something happens but that doesn’t make them equivalent.
