Gregory's Serverwe’ve got a week left of 2023 and I don't know how much longer Twitter will exist into 2024. so let's settle it once and for all and find the absolute best tweet of all time. one last hurrah for the posts that changed our cultural sense of humor before that platform atrophies into dust. https://thebesttweet.com

  reminds me of that "hot or not" thing Zucc made before facebook edit: it was actually called facemash   @samhenrigold   @Gargron @TomSwirly and it doesn’t even communicate with twitter. i’m not using their embeds and i scraped the tweets before hand. it’s pulling the tweets from a DB i control. @samhenrigold @Gargron No disrespect to you, but an article showcasing the best content on Xitter acts as an ad for Xitter, and I'm simply not interested in participating to the slightest degree.   @samhenrigold Twitter has gone! It’s called 𝕏 now and that’s bigger and better than Twitter ever was. The American government doesn’t have control over it anymore.  @samhenrigold @jimray amazing! But I have a question why are there so many Shanley tweets with two or three likes in here? Some sort of control mechanism? @powerllama @jimray probably some issue with my scraper being overzealous with replies and not handling threads well. i’ll weed those out, thanks for the heads up @powerllama deleted all but two of the popular non-reply tweets from that user. also, after I removed those rows, I was curious which users had the most tweets in the corpus: |
tom scott voting rules (https://youtube.com/watch?v=ALy6e7GbDRQ). polls close midnight, december 31 (a week plus a few hours from now)
after that, I'll redirect the domain to an archived copy of the winning tweet. god speed.
