Twitter

[MaryPoppins]

No, ta... just the nice bits please

Just please, for me - SAVOUR your current freedom, and think of me when you are able to leave the house in under half an hour, have more than three hours uninterrupted sleep, and have no trouble finding time in the week to take your toenail varnish off.

Go see the movie "idiocracy" and you will see that we are now having more and more clues to this developent. Twatter being only one of them. Fox News/Sky News are other examples.

And/or read Kornbluth's classic 1951 story "The Marching Morons", which is a tad less light-hearted.

Ah! Another gratuitous excuse for me to plug my own twitterings.

I think HAB's Twitter is very post-modernistic, in an ironic sort of way.

At face value, it appears to be nothing more than a potty-mouthed diatribe, that rails against the pointlessness of existence.

However, by interspersing banal drivel, with shocking profanity, HAB is provoking the reader to question the futility of it all, much like Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness challenges the reader to examine their own morals and values in the context of "The Horror".

What HAB has done is a work of literal genius, shockingly crude in its simplicity, but devastatingly effective in its execution.

With the almost guaranteed immortality that the Net will record his thoughts for posterity, it's heartening to know that future generations will study and analyse his thoughts, long after the original author has passed on.

/Bravo

As I always say, it's the first 18 years are the worst. After that it gets a little easier...

I think Twitter is a bit like showing someone your holiday photos for hours on end...its only people who are self indulgent, egotistical who think you want to learn the monotonous things that happen in their lives...all gets boring very quickly...
