Who does /lit/ follow on twitter?
I recently found out how great of an underutilized resource it can be. Follow interesting people and you get a steady stream of material they wrote or found worth reading, plus when a noteworthy enough piece comes along, you're sure to see it. Who do you all follow? The NYRB, columnists, authors?

The internet is a cheap substitute for regular human interaction. Twitters is that but on speed.

How cutting and innovative your insight is. Social media is, like, shallower than talking to people.
I'm asking for accounts to follow that consistently post interesting articles or link read-worthy material.

It was just an elaborate "none" to your initial question.
>>7986613
you post some first OP

you should give a brief description of each so anons don't have to follow all these for no reason
>>7986741
I assume if you're interested you at least recognize some of the names. Jacobin, CSIS, CFR, ForeignAffairs, the TheEconomist are magazines. They post their best articles every few days. Dlin71 delong, noahpinion and mattyglesias are economists they write about a lot, the rest are professional writers or blogs that swing both ways on the spectrum. DouthatNYT and michaelbd are catholic conservatives, SeanMcElwee and Freddiedeboer are liberal progressives, etc.

Regular human interaction is overrated. I cant hardly say the things I want to to someone else face to face for a variety of reasons. On the internet im free to speak my mind and actually think about what I say.

Your trip and your posts lead me to believe you are a massive faggot

I am of average weight and keep fairly fit by riding a bike every day, however, I am a professed lesbian. (Lit called me out some years ago)

>he doesn't understand how posting shorthand links works
>he doesn't understand how twitter in general works
>>7986842
Agreed. Twitter is a medium for people with the attention span of a goldfish. People use it to have their own opinions feed back to them in the form of a cute platitudes, usually with an unjustified sense of superiority.
