#vista Yaaa I know, you don’t care about M$ and UI … in fact, you never care. First time this laptop goes battery Desktop is randomized. #
#Election08 Now after victory you’ll let him fall on his face. Cuz you’re lazy. And lazy. Also lazy. Slothful? Sure, slotful. Also lazy. #
@tomguarriello Have a brain? You mean knee-jerk climb on band-wagon is “brain”? Thanks for pointing out how fucked Uncle Sam really is. #
@ccmehil Wow, impressive. You can read CNN. You can type on Twitter. So, tonight, 18,789 updates? *D’uhh!* #
@DavidStephenson “OK, I’m officially in tears. ” Ah lovely statement of everything wrong with “Democrats”. Cry from the rooftop? Meh. BS, BS #
@pahlkadot I love the way you echo tim’s post without even noting how 140 clips them. Are you mindless? Naw … just sloppy/lazy. #
@ChristianBurns “Looking forward to actual discussion of issues.” Know what? I don’t believe you. Easy to say … but folk don’t actuall … #
#truth Typically individuals are emotionally fixated at age 10. Intellectually, 12. You could see it, but you think seeing is evil. #
@Marti_L Maybe there’s something in that that she reacted to. Maybe something very pure. Hurrying makes us miss that. #matrix #
@Stammy “watching election coverage” Noooo. Are you? Wow … how unique / eccentric / bizzare. It must be just you. *Holy fuck!* #
@Mickeleh Is that what intellect comes to now? ” Think they’ll get any wrong?” You really do justify the cynics. #
“starting to dooze off here” … now, ain’t that a waste of electrons? Really, yuppies and yuppies’ kidz are a terrible waste of space. #
#fact I haven’t seen even 1 Tweet that shows anything like thought. You’re showing your colours, Amerikkka! You’ll leave him hung to dry! #

@MossyBlog “I think Obama has this locked or is it way to early to predict?” Isn’t that like “I think hot. Maybe cold? Am I wrong?” *dread* #
@DMular “stunningly gorgeous bike” Thanks. I was impressed by your tweets. Now I can UnFollow knowing you’re just EMO. #
Know how fucked you all are? Imagine, “OMG, there’s an election!” That’s how you sound … pathetically mindless. And you’ll help PotUS?! #
@ccmehil I’m going to have to UnFollow you. That’s pretty sad. #

@DavidStephenson STOP FUCKING SHOUTING DIP-SHIT. Notes from a friend. #
@1938media And that’s what I tried to tell you: only in empty cynicism does your creativity show … so you suck up to fascists. Ever think? #
@yourdon Oh, now, Ed, as a master you can surely realize and actualize what’s foundational to communications. _Techne_, not widgets. cheers #
@LindaEskin Breaking news: if / when you add http:// to links like monitter.com folk can click on them. It’s called the inter-tubes. #
@giyen Imagine that … even in USA there’s a process. Uganda, Cambodia, Nepal … they get it there. But in Amerikkka? Rude surprise. #
@xxdesmus Gee, and your typical dip-shit trader hour after hour looks at 9 or 12 or 18. Imagine how he resents you. And with reason. #
ArgoUML forum subscribed to; ArgoEclipse installed. Next: something for Symfony/Zend. Geee, sure wish somebody had 1/2 brain about civics! #
Children: this is when the work /starts/. This is when you let him down. This is when you let the Republic down. Now you are feckless. #
The process by which AmeriKKKa replicates itself: a celebration of trite, trivial mindlessness. “Don’t think, just cheer!” #jingoism #
@Mlsif My god, sir … such as yourself given to such sophemoric … I’m tempted to puerile … gawd, the Republic is lost. #

@gapingvoid Kinda nice. I have a pick-axe story for you. NORAD/SAC Arctic /poker / how I got my job. But you’re wey wey too important/busy. #
Incredible the amount of drek coming through Twitter … and I’ve been very selective about who I follow. Gee golly shucks, surprise. #
@livingsanctuary Thanks … it was very in the moment, but I don’t take pics of myself (ever!) so *shrug* it seemed the right.thing.to.do. #
Well I’m gonna go get pissed. Twitter has shown itself to be “what it is”: entirely puerile. Oh, hey … you are the future you want. *sigh* #
@1938media ” Excuse me do I know you? And what the fuck are you talking about?” So you’re 1) asshole and 2) ignorant. *shrug* #
@giyen Noooo … she needs to see the sky, and the stars, and the sun as it sets and as it rises, to know from what she’s come. Not defeat. #
@mvizdos I love your attitude bro’. Got 2 or 3 friends who’ve been sand-bagged … hoping they’re as positive as they pretend to be. cheers #

@trishussey “Obama Wan Kenobi you’re our only hope”. And that’s how you doom democracy: push off from rationality. Sad. Really sad. #
@AdamBoettiger Moving past “USA!”, muslim, black, marxist, communist bullshit” is a fine goal, and real. Step #1? Acknowledgement. #

@ourfounder I gotta say, TwitterVille really rallied in the final moments. I was totally excocised early, so trite … so trivial. #
@podcasting_news You know, Barack has (apparentlly) been very hands-on with speeches. FWIW I’m a little confusticated by lack of flourish. #

How fucked? A seesmic thread on Obama’s acceptance: 0 are about what he said; 100% about a silly sleight of hand in 1st reply. #
@r Amazing … a fate only shared with 100s of 1000s who’ve gone before. Self-referential insights … soooo marketing. #
@livingsanctuary People jump on you when you admit your parents are American? No kidding … Alberta is by far the most US proc in Canada. #
