Tweetdeck is alive on the web and as a Mac app. I wish it would come back to iOS because it's the bomb. I can't handle the native app anymore, it seems that I can't even override the ICYMI tweets and am just stuck having to read dozens of out of sequence tweets on it. Totally defeats the purpose of the service for me, which is to be able to open it and see the latest news, sports, puns, strawman arguments and condescension in real time.

Out of sequence tweets, Instagram posts, FB posts, etc. drive me bonkers.

I try, really hard, to not slip into the old man stereotype of being unable/unwilling to adapt to change, particularly technologic. These muthas are fucking testing me.

@rex - tweet deck looks awesome, ten seconds after loading it and I love it. Not on the IOS? I'll look for other alternatives to the native app. That's change, isn't it? so fuck the fuck off, twitter and all internet apps/services/user interfaces that were pretty damn good 2-5 years ago but suck more each revision and I'm really talking directly to you NBA.com

I do kind of like how on the Twitter app the count of replies/retweets/faves updates automatically.

Could also go in the "WTF is wrong with people" thread, but a local reporter bumped an innocuous article and tweeted at Pat McAfee that it wasn't cool to question Connor Daly over his diet choices. He retweeted her and snapped back and now she's been getting harassed including death threats for the last few days. Cool chick and she's taking it in stride, but god damn are there just some repugnant individuals out there.

People suck. Also Pat sucks now. He used to be this neat little light in this city of a guy that had fucked up, got his life together, and tried to do a shit ton of charity stuff and building people up. Ever since he got in the Barstool game, it's all unquestioned American excellence and bro jokes. He's a totally different person.

Barstool Readers: PC culture is the worst; there are too many soft pussies who don't respect free speech.

Also Barstool Readers: Criticism of Barstool personalities is an unacceptable offense that warrants a barrage of threats and insults.

Yet another example of how people who rail against "safe spaces" tend to be awfully thin-skinned when actually faced with criticism themselves.

Yea he's based out of here. Barstool apparently offered him a shit ton of money to open up their "midwest office".

I can't tell if he was just trying to make a joke, but even if he was as a "comedian" he must realize it's been made thousands of times.

Either way, he's a fucking idiot.

I've been following this Twitter account for a couple of years now. The curators are "live tweeting" World War II. They finished their first rotation back in August, and have decided to start all over again.

Today is the 78th anniversary to the start of WW II, so now would be a good time to start following this account if you're so inclined.
