Getting tired of having all of Twitter tell me to divorce my lovely wife just because she wrote to the NYT

[Lydia Polgreen @lpolgreen]

This is grounds for immediate divorce. https://t.co/Dqbx0k5Uof

@d_feldman What's most interesting about this question to me is the assumptions underlying it. If you were talking to a young kid, the question wouldn't make sense until you explained businesses and competition. If you lived in a small integrated community, you'd have plenty of examples.

Amazing 🤯

@jonahedwards I actually wondered about that (especially given the shadowing) and tried looking at it that way but still confounded

Maybe it will come to me

[Matt Pfeffer @mattpfeff]

@jonahedwards It's bugging me how familiar it looks but I can't place it

[Matt Pfeffer @mattpfeff]

Further demonstration. Who could have seen it coming

[Matt Pfeffer @mattpfeff]

Perfect demonstration of what happens when a would-be troll is actually playing 1D chess

Almost 6000 likes for three suggestions that don't work (as the responses to the thread already say) plus one (Bing) everyone already knows about. Thanks, Twitter 🙄

@MichaelStahlke For whatever it's worth, as someone who grew up to be a lifelong reader, and sometime journalist, I read and reread all sorts of terrible (and not-so-terrible) things as a kid. In retrospect, it only solidified reading as a sort of default activity for me, which has lasted.

[Matt Pfeffer @mattpfeff]

These reactions (there's a whole thread) are amazing

ICYMI over on tiktok AI is hitting hard on genx.
I've always said wrt AI, expect the unexpected, the future's gonna be weirder than anyone can imagine. Skynet is the last thing to be worried about.
This is the real #aiart #AIArtCommuity

Thinking about the perverse incentives this creates (since many subscribers will want to boost engagement with their threads, and many of the ways to do that involve making crappier content) ... what if you could mute all the subscribers

[Matt Pfeffer @mattpfeff]

Also a few great demonstrations of what happens if you don't turn your wheels into a skid

A great demonstration of how much thermal energy the simple ground has and the reason for "Bridge may ice" signs

this reminds me I was at a furniture store in Berkeley a couple weeks ago and a lady put her dog in an armchair so the dog could try it

@drvolts Does it produce the same output (for a given prompt) every time? As a student, you do at least have to make sure your submission isn't identical to anyone else's

This is one of a few ... challenging replies to a tweet of a woman's public proposal, but which is weird, a woman proposing to a man, or people proposing (and asking for an immediate answer!) in public in the first place?

@YesimTa11

[Matt Pfeffer @mattpfeff]

An important truth, well told.

[Matt Pfeffer @mattpfeff]

@wrongwaygoback It's smart and funny!

[Matt Pfeffer @mattpfeff]

Validation for all of us low-key strolling along on the long trail

[Trung Phan @TrungTPhan]

Hit 50k followers! Thank you all!

People always ask me for growth hacks.

Just did a regression of all my tweets. There is almost a perfect correlation between the number of followers added and the dumbness of a tweet. 🤯
