- Who twitters for Metro? Tolstoy? You cannot write long-winded descriptions of the Great Steppe of Russia, where the peasants are honest and work with their hands (and the Metro stop has no working escalators). Sorry Leo, there’s a 140-character limit. [Unsuck Metro DC]
- Stop being such a bubbly romantic sap. You are literally killing Mother Earth. [Washington Times]
- Wu-Tang warned us, but did we listen? No, we did not. And now we are all going to be stung into submission, by the killer bees of Rock Creek Park. [DCist]
- There’s a reason why so many naturalized citizens live in Virginia and Maryland: they have all enlisted in Barack Obama’s immigrant brownshirt militia. And they are drilling, and organizing. And when they’re ready, they will strike. [Washington Examiner]
- It’s Friday, which means: cease fire! Lower your lead pipe and put your AR-15 back in the shoebox where it belongs — it needs its rest before the next town hall meeting. Unfortunately, the Friday armistice has come too late for a group of young women who brutally assaulted each other with knives, sticks, rocks and belts. What provoked this act of needless violence? A heated debate on health care? An avant garde production of West Side Story? You be the judge. [DCist]

Sure you can. I keep saying that Twitter isn’t anything new, Tolstoy wrote novels with 140 characters and that was in the olden days.
Just memorizing who they all were was the most daunting part of reading him.
The original video has since been removed from YouTube, but FOX 5 shot its own video of the original off of a computer screen, which we’ve re-posted below.
Wow. Props to the tech-savvy folks at FOX 5 who weren’t going to be fooled by that “Download this video” applet that’s now on the media player. I’m just surprised they didn’t advance it frame-by-frame and take still pictures.
My submission:
“metroopensdoors No Line: Due to a power problem, all of the station’s escalators and elevators are out of service. Shuttle bus service has been requested. Two protons expelled at each coupling site creates the mode of force, the embryo becomes a fish that we don’t enter until a plate, we’re here to experience evolve the little toe, atrophy, don’t ask me how I’ll be dead in a thousand light years, thank you, thank you. End of line. FTL system check, diagnostic functions within parameters repeats the harlequin the agony exquisite, the colors run the path of ashes, neuronal network run fifty-two percent of heat exchanger cross-collateralized with hyper-dimensional matrix, upper senses, repair ordered relay to zero zero zero zero. Thus will it come to pass. A dying leader will know the truth of the Opera House. The missing Three will give you the Five who come from the home of the Thirteenth. You are the harbinger of death, Kara Thrace. You will lead them all to their end. Reduce atmospheric nitrogen by 0.03%…”
This “study” proves that Twitter is at least 40% pointless. Seems like the making of a PhD to me?
