iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

In at 3. Or do you mean "has the list broken containment and now you have angry twitter people in your mentions?" If the latter, no. Not yet.... 😬

Even the structure of my thread is intrinsically linked to social dynamics. There are definitely people I have referenced whom others would not include on their equivalent because they are socially or professionally connected.

bsky.app/profile/igua... Like this poor person who's day out was ruined....

What the actual fuck! I am glad that I don't remember them! Although I accept I may have seen their other posts and would recognise a username

Still big on Instagram I think! I liked him until a disturbing comic strip about a human giving birth to an egg meant I couldnt look at his posts without the taste of nausea

No 17. One of the inspirations for this collection

Imagine the world's most unhygienic slaughterhouse

That would be lovely. Someone with a bigger heart and less snark than me can do that one. Would be a nice counter to mine that multiple people are calling "psychic damage"

He's no 2!! Straight in there, the big turd.

Yes. Plagiarism Jim Felton. I know a lot of people like/follow him. I am not a fan sadly. Doncaster (?) Libraries did a great thread in COVID about the Emu War (to highlight that people needed to return books). A few months later he did one of his own. Or it was the exploding whale in Oregon. 🤷

Thanks! So Mo Ansar is not someone I'm familiar with, but I might have to include him as he's had multiple mentions. And a reinvention is strong grounds for inclusion

100

You could use this gif liberally throughout the whole thread!

Thanks Jamie. It was also partially selfishly motivated because I wanted to make sure I hadn't hallucinated years of posting now lost to the ether

You mean one of The Cockwombles Set? ChessInRusshire? Thread-stealing "Jom"?

280

Incidentally he's resurfaced on Facebook etc.

Ooh I forgot about The Core. Might do a COVID-era sub-section along with Mason Mills.

Ah yes! Germany-based? Very very aggressive IIRC

040

Yeah, for the sake of brevity, I missed the full story. I agree - the original old guy genuinely did good stuff, and was supported by his son. But then live-tweeting his father's death and the follow-on begging was... Unedifying

071

Cat treats? Is this a George Galloway thing?

100

Ah. That ties in with a whole subset of posters that I am debating whether to reference or not because whilst they're annoying, they're just a bunch of middle aged people over-sharing

020

Previous one possibly a bit unfair. 21 - is it possible to look remarkably good in a face mask, and can you monetise it enough to quit your job as a practicing doctor to run a pressure group using selfies in a mask and duff statistics? Enter Dr Julia Grace Patterson! bsky.app/profile/aard...

20 - possibly unfair as I don't know if she ever monetised, but the Cake Lady (CateInKitchen). Unlike many, pretty harmless (although might have found herself on the wrong side of the GPEW conference if transported to Now-Times) Humongous following for putting dialogue from Love Island on a cake.

290

Yes! Ashamed to admit that she does live rent-free in my head because she seemed so omnipresent for a period of time

000

19 - the other Sophie Corcoran. The one with a twin. The one that left the tory club at Durham. The one with the sad Xmas dinner. The one who was egged on my right wing horny patreon da's, but simultaneously hounded by the left. Another creature we created. Not the court reporter of the same name

2300

A dedicated section for "patreon da's funding younger women" 18 - EU Supergirl. You can all stop suggesting her now! What happens if you cross early Miley Cyrus with a bureaucratic body? Others have pointed out - genuinely cared (albeit stable doors and horses), but got hooked on monetisation.

Hold on, what was that?? He died long before the car /parade incident. I assume it was something to do with Hillsborough or Heysel...

100

Ah. Yes. Definitely would qualify on the whole "radicalised" thing. But I would argue he forfiets the entry requirements because he had some fame before. Maybe not though... I'll consider!

You've hit the nail on the head - basically completely unknown to anyone outside an online bubble but indirectly incredibly influential due to the make-up of that space. A litter of kittentturds if you will.

Funnily enough, it was him who inspired me to finally commit to this thread because I saw a thumbnail of a video of him joining GPEW and just thought "oh no, he's going to have ~opinions~ about Zionism"

170

As per @direthoughts.com, @cjayanetti.bsky.social needs putting on some sort of Prevent list - already covered bsky.app/profile/cjay...

250

She's sitting in drafts. Need to condense a 3-post tirade though first

170

Not sure if it was specifically magic mushrooms. But yeah the whole catfishing thing was crazy. One poster pretty much dropped all the lore and appeared to be one of the few people to have interacted with her outside twitter?

The Other Sophie Corcoran. Another creature that we created ourselves with our mockery sadly

270

QT-ing incase I foul up my threading again. Thanks all for your myriad of suggestions (and kind follows). I'll add them to the list for posterity! Obviously it comes with the slight bias that "a thing" also means "I remember them from over a decade ago in some instances"

271

Nostalgia is far more positive an adjective than the thread deserves! R.E. RevStu. I would describe him as pre-transphobia as "combative, with an ego and a particular political viewpoint". But I recognise that based on his history, he may have been mad previously and just kept a lid on it...

210

Cravendale council cabinet member for deportations? Good shout

020

Yep. Already covered her and the haunting vibe. Was the OP I reference you.....? bsky.app/profile/igua...

121

Yep. He surfaces on my feed every so often with occasional good takes. But I cannot take him seriously enough to follow

The word rings a bell but I've obviously excised all memory of it otherwise. I suspect that is probably a good thing??

100

For brevity, I shortened it. It was Laing-Leclec. I'm pretty sure I missed at least 2 other surnames she had over a relatively short period of time. I think @magnets.eurosky.social has an idea of where she ended up?

100

Ooh I'm not sure who that was...
