umm . . .
This is the pettinest of pet peeves, but why do some people on Twitter need to quote everything someone says in a conversation rather than directly respond to them.
Maybe it's just me, but I think it's rude. It's like broadcasting the conversation to your followers, looking for attention rather than have an actual discussion on the matter.

That's basically what it is. If you just reply, only the followers also following the second person will see the reply. Quotes go out to everyone as if you were making a brand new tweet.
And basically gives the all clear to them to go after the person. So it's an added flood of notifications when it could've stayed mostly one-on-one.
Because Twitter isn't about conversation it's about making noise?
And marketing statements.
And Facebook is for the Flat Earthers and Anti-Vaxxers to out themselves for ridicule from the rest of us.

I had lunch with my grandfather today, who I love dearly. The guy is distressingly "un-woke AF" when it comes to matters Trump. Not quite a "Trumpkin," but he thinks the media is making 90% of everything up.
And it's kind of the media's fault, if I'm honest.
The saddest or most hilarious thing is how some of these people take it SO SERIOUSLY. Like, this guy whined that Kurt Busiek blocked him. Because he said things like "SJWs like you are why you lost 30k-50k readers!"
I can't imagine why he'd be blocked for that. /sarcasm
Well maybe if the media weren't such slaves to advertising revenue, they'd have more substance.

A local car dealership is running an ad starting tomorrow that... well, it's a good thing that spelling isn't obvious on radio, because they think they're going to be selling ALPHA Romeo.
/facepalm.
At least they pronounced it right. When I saw the typo, I had to listen and make sure they weren't pronouncing it as in "and Juliette."

This just reminded me of something: a few weeks ago, Li'l Z (who, btw, knows how to pronounce Alfa Romeo) was talking about a "Julia car". I just assumed it was one of the characters on one of his shows. He'd ask me questions about the "Julia car" and I'd tell him I really didn't know, he'd have to show me Julia. One day he picks up his Alfa Romeo catalog from the NY Car Show, and I'm like , "Oh, no, honey. That's 'Alfa Romeo'.". And he looks at me, like, "Okay, Mom."
I week later we're out somewhere, and something clicked in my brain. I got on my phone, and low and behold:
The Alfa Romeo Giulia
Pet Peeve: At 4 years old, and barely able to read, my son knows more about cars then I ever have in my lifetime.

Hah, I think that's the exact one they're trying to pimp out in the commercial they just sent me today.This just reminded me of something: a few weeks ago, Li'l Z (who, btw, knows how to pronounce Alfa Romeo) was talking about a "Julia car".

You're talking about yourself, I'm guessing.
I might be able to muster some enthusiasm, but when it comes to adorable,
Li'l Z>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Celt Z.
I just saw one of those at the Target, the other day. Had to take a pic for a buddy who's an Alfa fan.
Not gonna lie, car is pretty sexy for a sedan.

I wish I could blame autocorrect for that one.

What? Instead of me just misreading and sharing?

It's just the sun, cheri. Don't worry; it will go away eventually.
Astronomers estimate 2 to 4 billion years.
Then he's going to need a stronger sunscreen.
I am so tired of videos on Facebook that are just photos with no sound. Actually the ones that are just photos with music piss me off more...
