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 hoaxes
