Unless you’ve been off the grid the past few days, you’ve read that the Library of Congress is going to acquire all public tweets since March 2006.
Now let’s think about this rationally. What possible benefit could the LoC see in getting the entire public archive of Twitter? They’ve <em>been</em> on Twitter, right? The same Twitter that I’ve been on?
Let’s get a dose of what is going to preserved forever:
#dontyouhatewhen muhfuckas in they phone more than theyre into you?? <<well bitch you aint interesting!
LUNCH TIME! time for some bieberLaterzzz!
Took dog for a whiz and poop. He squats pinches a loaf but he just stays squatting. He ingested one of my daughter’s hairs. Anus floss.And now for some groceries…
Yes. Thank you LoC. We will forever know that people are obsessed with some fuckwad with bad hair, are functionally illiterate, find dog shit fascinating enough to tell the rest of the world, and are so overly full of themselves that they are convinced we all give a shit that they’re buying groceries. I’m not saying my twits are more fascinating or compelling (they are), but I am finding it difficult to believe something such as Twitter would have an literary importance 100 years from now. Social importance, yes, for the same reasons mentioned above. So please, future world, do not judge us so harshly. We were just having a good time.
