Since sometime early this year I’ve maintained a text file of unsent tweets. Most of these have been all typed up & ready to go, but instead of hitting send I decided the world did not need to know these things at that time. Now reading back through them as discarded thoughts instead of messages to the world most don’t seem that bad, so here are the tweets I never sent over the last 6 months.

In the interests of full disclosure I should say this isn’t the complete list. I’ve withheld the stuff from the last couple of weeks, and culled about 30% for being just too stupid, angry, incomplete or incoherent. Enjoy, I guess.

Read article -> Gain hope for future of humanity, problems are there to be solved! Read comments -> Lose all hope, want to kill everybody.

I think about half the tweets I type out get thrown away without posting.

That pink cowboy hat makes me think you’re a shitty, boring person.

I swear some designers think the web is rendered by rainbow pixies shaking unicorn bones at the screen.

Who uses the ignorant asshole commenter or juvenile troll stereotypes when designing their use case personas? Why not?

Hipster tourists out wandering around looking like lost time-travelers, kicked out of 3 last centuries by fashion police. #atemporality

I wonder how much of that black teflon shit I’ve ingested out of frying pans over the years. Must be like a woks worth.

There you go. I can’t believe you actually read that. Check back in like another 4 months when I have another super exciting blog post to share!
