Twitter Sucks: At its Downfall?

The Original Angry Bird.

#QuestionsIHateAnswering? Who cares?
Hashtags like this are common viewing on everyone’s favorite microblogging website, Twitter. However, where the hell is this website going?

In 2009, I used to state that I was able to get all of my news from Twitter. I could follow celebs and get the latest info on their careers. They also posted corrections when the entertainment media published false information about them, but this went far beyond just celebrity gossip.

Twitter used to have a focus on current events, and it created a user-generated approach to news media. For example, if a major event took place in the USA or around the world, it became a trending topic, and you could find all kinds of viewpoints from the people of USA and the Earth.

It was easy to keep in touch with your friends, your favorite movie stars, and the day-to-day happenings of life.

That was 2009. Now Twitter is just a bunch of “Jersey Shore” wannabes, who try to sound loud and brash, and the trending topics are nothing more than simple word games beginning with hashtags.

#ThingsToSayDuringSex
#3WordsWomenHate
#ImSoHungry
#IDontUnderstand

And of course the now corporate-infiltrated “Promoted” topics, where businesses can pay to have their product or information trend.

#5DollarFootlongs
If you have a sudden urge to talk about 5 Dollar Footlongs, than you are in fucking paradise.

By the way @Nina who wrote "#5DollarFootlongs are not five dollars"
SHUT THE FUCK UP!

I confess that sometimes this wordplay is entertaining or amusing, but there is no substance. It just feels like people are spitting out cheap unfunny comments as fast as they can, so they get noticed by other users in the trends.

I also confess that I follow @Snooki , but she never has anything to say that you couldn’t hear from that annoying bitch who sits in the back of math class and always shouted for no reason. Thank Goodness I dropped out of school ( : P )

However, there are still some things that have not changed since 2009.

The best people to follow are still.
Comedian
@Michael Ian Black – He’s the Funniest

Ukrainian-Born Porn Star
@Nikki Benz – She makes you feel like she’s your friend

Pop Singer
@ddLovato – She’s the friendliest.

Also, Tyler the Creator

QATFYG:
Are you still a fan of Twitter?
Who is your favorite person to follow?
Would you like to be one of those people that gets your tweets published in a book?

PS: Even though Twitter is sometimes frustrating, I won't delete. It's part of culture now. Damn that culture.

PPS: Anyone else notice that Twitter is now 2/3 Brazilian Portuguese?

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist. "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members or stress over where to eat Christmas dinner. Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
