  • twitter hacked. this reminds me of the time…

    if you were wondering wtf happened to twitter last night (and, like me, you use a client as opposed to logging into the actual site, so rather than seeing the screen above, you just saw an API timeout error), twitter was hacked.  mashable’s got the digs here and here. now, sure, we should be up in arms…

    One Big Ass Mistake America That’s what I saw gracing the back of an old Ford pickup truck as I took the cat to the vet on Thursday. it immediately made me think of a Saturday Night Live sketch from last week that we just saw the night before. my first thought in response to…
