Tweets Thread
Rationality Twitter is fun. Twitter's format can promote good insight porn/humor density. It might be worth capturing and voting on some of the good tweets here, because they're easy to miss and can end up seemingly buried forever. I mean for this to have a somewhat wider scope than the quotes thread. If you liked a tweet a lot for any reason this is the place for it.

Some of the people who earn thousands of times your income don't deserve it, which is bad; and some of them do, which is worse.

What does that have to do with rationality? I'm not aware of good published data that suggest that marrying for love doesn't work. It's more a common folk opinion.
Aaron Haspel:
Not just that they might like it, but that they might like it more than those you look up to.

I think this should be merged with the Media Thread.
Feel free to add a Twitter top level comment to the Media Thread.
ADDED: Ooops. Sorry, should have gone into the Meta comment.
Aw carp, how did I forget the media thread? I think that you are right, I'll do that in October's.
I don't think so, having a extra thread doesn't hurt and bundling doesn't really provide much benefit.
Meta discussion goes here. Things like discussion of the medium, whether short sentences could have much usefulness besides sounding witty, whether this thread should actually exist or if favorites lists are good enough, etc
I agree with Gunnar_Zarncke; the purpose of this thread seems well enough covered by Rationality Quotes + Media Thread. Still, no major harm done.
I would expect most people reading this already to be familar with @aristosophy (who appears to have stopped posting some time back, but there's a lot of hilarity worth mining). I think I saw another similarly-flavoured but still active twitter feed recently, but my stupid ape brain is refusing to remind me what.
