  • I think the T2 was to insinuate that it was “Twitter 2”. I didn’t understand the rebrand, because, even though it’s been a few years, Pebble to me is still associated with the smart watch.

    I actually signed up and used it a little, but I put up a funny post with a Corvette that had a wheel off sitting on wood blocks with the caption, “When Rednecks get Corvettes! 🤣” It was a stupid little joke, but my post was flagged as offensive and removed. At that point I made one more post explaining what had happened, and that I was going to be leaving the platform. I left the post up for a couple of weeks and then deleted my account. If that was considered offensive, my sarcastic self didn’t stand a chance on that platform.

    I’m not surprised they didn’t get any traction.











  • Every conversation my mother and grandmother had for the last 10 years of my grandmother’s life (just change the name):

    Grandmother: “Do you remember Sue Smith?” Mom: “I don’t think so.” Grandmother: “ Yes you do, Sue Smith.” Mom: “Sue Smith? Where would I know her from?” Grandmother: “ She lived two houses down from us over on Suwannee Street.” Mom: “I don’t remember a Sue Smith from the neighborhood.” Grandmother: “She was Sue Jones before she got married.” Mom: “OH Sue Jones! Yeah I remember her!” Grandmother: “Well she died.”

    Every. Single. Time.


  • Actually, I subscribe to the theory that Spez & Musk don’t care about losing money, because they are being paid under the table more than they’re losing by far right dark money to destroy Twitter & Reddit. Both sites were pretty left leaning before the crap hit the fan, and the right are trying purge all liberals from them. I know it seems pretty “tin foil hat”-ish, but it also makes perfect sense when you look at how they’ve done everything they can to run the sites into the ground.
