Twitter has been… crazy this week, for obvious reasons. Memes have been produced at a breakneck pace, information flying around like particles in a snow globe, amplifying the already-present sense of chaos that comes with that website. 2024 Twitter does often feel like end times, the last breaths of a dying empire now filled with bots …

Now that Twitter has hidden the option to view other people’s likes, we will forever be in the dark about what our friends are up to. I used to troll my friends’ likes all the live long day, getting an up close and personal insight into their senses of humor and what they find important. …

The urge to tweet is a funny one. What makes us hit send on our little, often stupid ideas? Why do we need a group of strangers to read it and acknowledge us? Perhaps it’s about the desire for approval from our peers. We want the people around us to validate our thoughts and signal …

If you’ve ever thought about quitting social media, you’ve probably encountered the fear of missing out. There’s a (partly irrational) fear that if you get offline, you will miss out on all the fun inside jokes the internet is so good at coming up with. And I get it.

There are two ways of looking at the current state of Twitter (sorry, X). First, you can pessimistically see it as a dying wasteland clinging to the relics of its old self, quickly becoming an abandoned shell of a once important platform. Or you could optimistically see it as the wild, wild, west– a place with no …

Sometimes a tweet comes along that completely changes the way you speak. It weasels its way into your prefrontal cortex and unlocks new parts of your brain. For example, the tweet «SITTING» by @MissNikkiiBaby has permanently altered my brain chemistry. I think of it almost every time I pop a squat. But that’s just me.  There are certain …

The way the language of social media has penetrated our everyday lexicon is astounding. We take it for granted that the word «tweet» has taken on a completely different meaning than it once did. One upon a midnight dreary, tweet was only the sound that a small bird would make. It was one of our …

Twitter is kind of like the Wild Wild West. Or what I imagine the Wild Wild West to be like based on a handful of movies and TV shows.

Twitter is great for many a thing, but nuance is not one of them. That’s what books are for. The slim word count requirement and low barrier to entry make Twitter a wonderfully democratic place. Anyone can post, and anyone can thusly be taken seriously (or not seriously). It’s the people’s forum.

Among many things, the internet has made it so much easier to stalk one another. It starts with a harmless search for their Instagram page, and before you know it you’re knee-deep in the Wikipedia page of their high school, looking at the notable alumni. It’s a slippery slope.
