Not my child.
I have TweetDelete set up on my Twitter account and honestly, if you don’t, that’s irresponsible. There are no tweets on my timeline that are older than one month. Adults get 700 new neurons in their brain every day so whatever I said two months ago is old garbage and no one needs it.
However, there is one tweet I don’t want to disappear, though it will. Last week I asked folks what their favorite Wikipedia lists were and, yes, I could’ve combed through this list of lists of lists but I’m not a sucker with all the time in the world. I wanted GOOD lists and I wanted them then. And I got ‘em! Here are some of my faves, which shall be preserved in Substack until this site meets its demise OR I quit hanging out here:
List of stories set in a future now past
List of nicknames used by George W. Bush
List of fictional artificial intelligences
List of female librarians (???)
List of inventors killed by their own inventions
List of books considered the worst
List of animals with fraudulent diplomas
List of people who disappeared mysteriously pre-1970
List of places nicknamed “Venice of the North”
List of people who have lived in airports
I have a suspicion about where the list of female librarians originated, but what I'm really curious about as a fellow wiki-list lover: what prompted this question?
List of substacks I paid an annual subscription for and don't get anything from anymore.
