Why is Twitter explaining the joke in more than 140 characters? Should have done a bunch of panels with just a little snippet in each.

this is a pretty refreshing change of pace from the usual edgy commentary on how evil and destructive social media can be. i like it!

Ah yes, thank you. This is the positivity I hoped to communicate

All the social media ones are pretty negative.

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 3

Yeah, but it's not an edgy "it's destroying society". It's a relatable "look at how nonsense this is, from someone who experiences it".

We ought to attach a generator to him. Come to think of it, we should do the same to Charles Darwin and make him watch the Kardashians.

295 in Richmond goes in a massive fucking circle. Good luck figuring out if you need to take North or South to go East or West.
