  2. wOw! Is that for real?!?

    The twitterverse is in a galaxy far, far away from me. I read some tweets posted by others here and elsewhere, but I’ve never had a twitter account and… I do know what I’m (happily!) missing.

    I’d have trouble generating a yawn if twitter shut down tomorrow.

    1. Did you notice his blue check mark?

      I liked the “there are people walking around who don’t know what opinion to have”.

      1. No, I didn’t notice, Steve.

        I’m too busy ignoring my flip phone, which doesn’t have a data plan or internet access, to learn enough to notice these things. Somedays, I even charge up my phone and turn it on.

        I’m just too far out of the ‘smart’ phone loop to know what I should be thinking. It would be easier to let someone else do the thinking for me. But I’m just too stubborn and old-fashioned, so I’m just a poor schlub stuck with thinking for myself.

    2. Ryan Long is a comedian….
      If you had twitter you might have known that.
      Actually says ‘comedy’

  3. Jason Alexander is in the same boat but he’s switching from twitter to regular mail and buying inexpensive envelopes.

  4. Parody, but still not funny. And, those that it’s aimed at won’t get it. So, in short, a comedian who doesn’t know his audience. There is a reason no one knows who this guy is.

      1. And you’re on fire. Licking the habit by buying inexpensive envelopes? Top drawer stuff, that.

        1. Steve – Thanks. Seinfeld is funny but CTV and Global’s spin on inflation “Canada’s annual inflation rate dropped by 1% (to 4.3%)” would be Emmy-worthy if it weren’t so painful to experience.

  5. Award winning journalist Rachel Gilmore had her blue checkmark taken away and is REFUSING to pay that greedy billionaire $8.

    As Dr. Greta Thunberg would say, ‘How DARE you?’

    Some people are better than other people and we need to know who these people are. Taking away the blue check marks from journalists, academics and celebrities, and allowing anyone to have a blue check mark as long as they pay $8, is literally fascism!

    Rachel Gilmore is very upset, please support her.

    1. As a liberal Rachel believes she’s entitled to free stuff.

      Rachel, run for office, the free stuff picking a are easier if you’re a Liberal MP.

  7. Thanks Kate. I laughed – and it was really needed. The woke sandcastle is meeting the rising tide of dry ironic humour.

  8. Charlie Sheen is the real life whiner on Twitter. Thousands are reminding him of his hooker and blow days, and wondering how much he spent then, vs $8………

  9. Post industrial, first world problems. The rest of the world is either laughing at (not with) or shaking their heads in dismay.

  10. What I find remarkable is how these leftist idiots insist on staying on Twitter, no matter how much they complain about Elon Musk and his policies.

    They are like meth heads who keep coming back for more no matter how much it hurts them.

  11. I’m not on twitter so forgive me but what’s the effin’ deal with the blue checkmark, is it some kind of a merit badge? I really don’t get it.

    1. I’m in the same boat but probably closer to the engine room. There’s so much noise I can’t distinguish parody from reality which makes sobriety pointless.

    2. I think it means the you are coughing up 8 bucks a month for status on Twitter. Elon is trying to make Twitter profitable. It’s business. I think that’s what it’s about.

  12. And they’re not funny. We’ll never have another George Carlin saying “ it’s a big club and you ain’t in it” …unless you pay your 8 bucks

  13. When I see obsessed lunatics such as the person in the video, I am glad I am me.

    SDA is a sanity stop in my day. I come here every morning to enjoy intelligent comments, learn what “new shit has come to light” – The Dude … and appreciate that I am not alone in this world with my take on the things.

    There are many with whom I agree, many of them comment here.
    Thanks for that, Kate.

  14. I am constantly amazed with how many people fail to recognize comedy by parody or satire.

    I laughed (not out loud – the world makes me too miserable for that!) at this skit, thanks for posting.

    And for everyone who avoids Twitter, I can explain the blue check with one word. Narcissism.

  15. There is a way that everyone could be happy.
    Give everyone a blue checkmark.
    Then create a new logo in red, maybe something as simple as a red checkmark, and charge $8 for it.
