Maybe the Twitter Killer has been running for about three weeks and it's now laid waste to eleven thousand Twitter accounts it considered fake, rubbish, slackers, etc. The number remaining is 777 and too many of them look credible to leave the Twitter Killer on automatic search and destroy so the TK's reign of online death is now at an end.
The Twitter Killer may have wiped out real ones and please do re-connect if that happened as there was no malice in the action. There was a tremendous number of accounts which could not possibly have been valid and those have been murdered. If there was collateral damage then the software got too enthusiastic and I apologize.
The same ratio is likely true on any social network in which, at most, ten percent of them are real and the rest are drones, clones, or lolling stones. On Facebook, there are five hundred plus connections and maybe twenty or thirty of them actually do anything and, within those, only ten or twenty percent of them post anything other than memes. In general, you'll find more life cutting paper dolls out of, say, Mark Twain's first edition of "Tom Sawyer."
(Ed: why would you destroy such an important thing?)
I won't but vandalism is the hallmark of everything about the new age so why not. For example, there's a vandalism by negligence in Donald Trump's proposal to build a Wall from Texas to California to block off Mexico from a country which usually couldn't even be bothered to repair its bridges.
There's another kind of vandalism in taking an image of the Mona Lisa and putting some femme lib text on it so use it for a political statement or to use any music from the sixties to justify anything about the military industrial complex. Vandalism.
So, my guess is at best ten percent of the accounts on Facebook are real (shrug).
And so goes "The Illusion of Gravity" and I'm not teasing with the idea of releasing the CD again because I would want to remix everything on it and that's going too far back for anything useful to come from it. The concept holds nevertheless and it's an extraordinary thing to see all those who have judged the stoner were really the ones living in castles in the sky all along. The ones who have fallen out of them already know they're not real but the rest hide on Facebook with the thinking if I keep it as superficial as possible and stay inside my house then the SS won't bother me. I knew it was an illusion long before everything exploded which makes me even more of an idiot than they.
There are some with limited access to computers and I will keep that in mind in keeping the article length manageable.
