Things I Said on Twitter in 2016

As I say each year: The year in review, in micro-blog form. This is mostly for my own reference, but, you might be bored enough to look at this as well. Who knows!

Tweets of 2012 • Tweets of 2013 • Tweets of 2014 • Tweets of 2015

Something quirky happened with October/November tweets, but as soon as I get bored enough to manually scrape those, you’ll see them here too! In all, I have around 1870 tweets this year, double either either of the last two years. I suspect a lot of this can be hung directly on the shoulders of a really shitty election cycle and a propensity for live-tweeting things that irritate me. At this point, my account in general is over 19,400 tweets and I’m almost assuredly going to hit 20k in 2017. That’s ludicrous.

My lovely wife, @aglance_, hyper-focused on some New Year’s drumming! https://t.co/5JQDwpGx6f

If you told 25 year old me that new years would include board games w/friends, I’d have assumed you meant in my 70s. https://t.co/s7OviMHiL5

2016-01-01 08:04:41
That’s because 25 year old me was a moron. 39 year old me couldn’t have had a better time this year. 70 year old me should be so lucky…

2016-01-01 08:06:02
Also, 39 year old me should not have consumed so much caffeine. His headache is back, he can’t sleep, and he is me talking in the 3rd person

I’m not even a Clinton supporter, but there’s something entertaining and ironic about Trump or Carson supporters angry about her “lies”

“Hypocrisy”, like “irony”, is a word oft misunderstood. If one’s behavior requires a very particular viewpoint to be hypocritical, it’s not.

2016-03-02 11:51:22
One can, for example, be morally opposed to killing, but morally fine with killing in self defense. Not hypocritical.

2016-03-02 11:52:43
Likewise, one can be against wilfully mis-gendering Caitlyn Jenner and still find hoisting Donald Drumpf by his own petard to be legit.

I suppose after nearly 2 decades since my last dental visit, one cavity seems reasonable. That it required a root canal seems like justice!
