I don't understand rich people

Making shitloads of money is difficult and the people who are good at that tend to have pathological work-life balances.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
i coulda sworn miette was from tumblr originally but i guess i'm wrong. in any case, miette is good but it's not even in the top 10 all-time tweets.

besides the many dril examples already shared, I nominate Milkshake Duck, covfefe, and it's not technically a tweet, but that one time Ted Cruz liked a tweet of an incest porno ought to be up there.

Lead a team working on "Design novel methods for rendering stereoscopic views of an unpredictable scene while meeting hard latency cutoffs (so it doesn't cause VR nausea). Also, you can get GPU hardware customizations if you want them enough" sounds like the sort of thing that John Carmack would consider fun, even if they weren't paying him lots of money too.

To the surprise of absolutely no one the Apartheid Antagonist of Humanity immediately decides to act like a petty douche first thing when he gets control of a company he didn't even want and felt personally insulted by.

Really the question is how much it'll drip down to the users noticeably.
