Farewell, Twitter. It hasn't been pleasant.

I've finally realized that Twitter was designed by a cabal of sinister alien superintelligences trying to come up with the best possible way to generate hatred and mistrust, ultimately leading to global thermonuclear war so they can move in afterwards and steal all our Hello Kitty merchandise without a fight. Absurd, you say? Just look at the facts

Oh, God. If only we knew how good we had it back then...

I've mostly bailed on Facebook and its own completely unique parade of horribles, although that's caused me grief because everyone I know is still on it and seemingly nothing else, so I end up missing important messages sometimes. I think the idea of a social network is really good and useful; it's a pity the implementations are nightmarish dystopias.

I gave up on Twitter long ago; I just keep the account because it's basically second-level customer support for every company in the world.

Or a way for every company in the world to pretend that they have second-level customer support at all. :-/

Hey, you're not dead! (I only follow you here.)

Sine you're no longer spending time on Twitter, does that mean you'll finally have a chance to color the last 10 pages of aMoS? (This question is on topic here, because we're discussing the ways social media allows strangers to make your life miserable.)

Ah. Um. Well. Since you mention that.

Turns out I finished coloring them ages ago, but never got around to actually converting the files to JPEG and uploading them to the site. Try it now?

Yay! The story is finally complete. Now I just have two pages of Red Tails and six of Freefall that I'm still waiting to be colored.

See, I've been back on LiveJournal for less than a day and it's already been more productive than my entire time on Twitter.

Case closed, and bar open.
