You know when telethons were on TV, they had things like hired comedians and circus acts to make them actually somewhat entertaining.
Twitch ones are like "half a dozen bored-looking guys on a couch"-thons.

But the twitch ones save the frames!

That makes less sense if you haven't been following Seattle traffic this morning.

I take it all you hear on the traffic reports is "CRASH! BANG! BOOM!" played over and over again? ;)

Facts have a well-known liberal bias.

I guess people with defective shoulder aliens like yours might not assume from those two tweets that there's been a lot of accidents on the roads.

All we need now is a BONER project to go with it.

So I went to look at this on twitter for some reason.
And underneath the pictures there's a load of other "tweets" (i guess...) Are they supposed to be a conversation or is it all just in random order, I genuinely have no idea ...
-
Working on it.
-
They're supposed to be in chronological order, but Twitter sometimes pulls this weird shit where they don't show you all of the replies, so I don't know what the fuck they're doing.
-
I suppose it could be that the twitter short-form format encourages people to shout past each other like frantic baboons...
-

Sounds a lot like what Discourse does when multiple posts get posted in a short time period ...
-
It seems to happen more on certain accounts. I'm insinuating here that they basically have multi-class citizenship.
Wouldn't have a problem with it if they just came out and said it, though. "With Twitter Pro you can automatically filter out the trolls! use any mobile client, even those that are at the bullshit api key limit! no promoted tweets!" etc

I'd have less of a problem with Twitter if their (android) mobile client didn't suck ass. It's the way it persistently never seems to remember my credentials that I truly hate. (I can't remember if it fails to remember them across OS/app restarts, or if it is just when a new version comes out. But since that seems to be every week or so, who gives a shit why. It should stop losing it all and start not suckingβ¦)

Most people don't need encouragement for that.
especially here

I can't stop, I still didn't figure out what I need to stop doing!
Incidentally, this is what I hate about URL shorteners. In the age when doing proper URL rewriting is so freaking easy some genius decided that we should use this ohyyfuvg

This is interesting: http://9m.no/μ·―ι«
Interesting as in BROKEN.
-
Ok, yes, that one is fun at least.
Interesting as in BROKEN.
As in it breaks the click tracker? We already determined that, in case you forgot. I also thought you broke it in a different way too now, but it is supposed to lead back here, yes?
-
Well, you can't left-click it. That's broken.

I guess 9m.no is a good URL shortener to mess things up with!

Picks two random unicode code points between βAβ (U+0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A) and βπ β (U+1F6C5 LEFT LUGGAGE) for the short URL, which seems to be an okayish compromise between having many characters and having some hope of being supported by a modern font.
I never saw any not-asian letters in a 9m.no URL so far, though.

There's a lot of asian characters in Unicode. A seriously high proportion. If there's ever a shortage of codepoints in Unicode, you can be sure that the continued screwing around with encoding east asian writing systems will be the true cause of it.

BothAll three1 URLs you posted so far that I saw (this one and the one I linked to) have at least one character that won't render for me, and I never had any problems with Chinese so far, at least I think I didn't. I don't really browse Chinese sites without translation on.I wonder what those are, then.
1 - The third Discosearch result was the same, actually, I just had to hover the link since the text was changed.

http://9m.no/μ·―ι«
The left one is a Korean Hangul syllable.
The right one is Chinese: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ι«

onyx@jarvis:~$ sudo aptitude install ttf-alee

So, that's
ttf-alee
on Debian-family Linux distros, if anyone is annoyed by this as well and wants to fix it.
-
Fun fact: The tweet that started this discussion was made by an indie game dev who made two kind of odd Visual-Novel-ish games about Korean computers in space.
-
Although one of them didn't used to be a computer. She also made an even "odder" one about a non-Korean computer. She also also made one that is practically impossible to discuss in public -- I don't take it personally, but it just ain't my story...
<Edited for clarity.

Digital is one of the greatest things ever.

Why do I have a feeling SciFi is being discussed? Proper SciFi at that?
And why do I have a feeling that I'll have to waste hours on it now?
-
Even the website is great!
-
It even has a native Linux version!
*whimpers*
Stop linking cool stuff!

Well, you can't left-click it. That's broken.
It seemed to open a tab to attempt a redirect, and then just get stuck on this doozy of a URL: http://what.thedailywtf.com/clicks/track?url=http%3A%2F%2F9m.no%2F%EC%B7%AF%E9%90%AB&post_id=377150&topic_id=8350
Where is that attempting to go? What is this I don't even
