Twitter has finally, actually gotten rid of blue checkmarks for “legacy” accounts. I’ll write about this on Monday at greater length, but I’ll warn you that it won’t be as good as this, from Willy Staley.
I use the phrase “my brain was ruined by the internet” a lot and Twitter is a big part of it. Staley examines and analyzes the various parts of what that means regarding Twitter.
“What Weird Twitter posters had in common, beyond being (mostly) funny, was a special brain damage that granted them access to the hidden frequencies of the internet.”
