Fucking Twitter

It's annoying enough that Tags and Footer retweet each other, so if you're subscribed to both you get everything duplicated, but now they retweet Pinwheel. Damn.

This is how twitter reinforces the mutual admiration society ... they both gain "social influence" this way.  Annoying does not even start to describe it.

It is kind of ridiculous.  Not a subscriber to any, mainly because of the feeds I have seen, you have to shift through so much crap to get to a useful tweet.  Seems very inefficient.

Don't use twitter much but isn't it possible to hide retweets?

Yes.  But if you select a few who filter & retweet others, that is the best option.  It is when this mutual retweet everything relationship develops that there is no good way to proceed.

Last week, I was watching "Hot Stove" or something on MLB Network.  That asshole was a go-to guy during the show.  Like he has ever had anything intelligent to say.  Really disheartening to see and hear him on one my my favorite channels.

Levine is essential. I'd also recommend Ben Badler, Sam Miller, and MLBFakeRumors for those seeking baseball-related wit.
