Was trying to think, "how many times would I eat it here?" and stopped counting after 6 or 7.

I don't think we have a thread revolving around this, but amidst the Jemele Hill Twitter stuff was this this week.

Well, in order to cut into moonshine sales,

The Moscow Times reports that, as of Sunday, the new minimum price for half a liter of vodka is 185 rubles ($2.60), a drop from a previous price of 220 rubles ($3.10).Feb 2, 2015

Don't forget jerloma!

This one is about how some geese eat their young if they suspect there's something wrong with it, usually typified by their fur. Down Syndrome, I guess.

So excited to have you all join me in 280-character land. No idea how I got "upgraded" a while ago.

There was definitely some randomness to it, but I assume that's just for quality control testing. Give it to a wide array of users and make sure there are no issues.

I'm sure. The weird thing was that, for several hours yesterday, I was "downgraded" to 140 after being at 280 for however long. I was responding to a tweet and noticed the circle for 280 had reverted to the character countdown of 140.

The thing on the tab telling me how many new Tweets there are also seems to be fading in and out of existence.

The left-leaning politics types I follow on Twitter are way too into Weird Twitter. I got so sick of seeing Dril tweets that I just started muting or blocking anyone who showed up in my feed with a Dril meme. I did the same with anyone who posted a Simpsons meme. Those are somehow ubiquitous among 30-somethings who Tweet about poltics.
