What are your favorite Twitter follows?
In another thread we were discussing Twitter and angry tweets thereon. Made me wonder: what are your favorite/interesting/offbeat Twitter follows?
3 of mine (besides Kentucky Sports Report, of course):
--Super 70s Sports: wise-cracking posts commenting on (mostly) sports pics from the 70s (and sometimes other decades);
--WWII Tweets: the gimmick here is these are supposedly "live tweets" from this month/day in WW2. He started in 1939 and is up to this day in 1940 now;
--Mental FlossU really think players are going to duke without being paid over Kentucky?--Gilbert Arenas, 9/12/19

Re: What are your favorite Twitter follows?
BEvans, I have a lot of personal ones that wouldn't be of interest to others, such as local sports, soccer stuff, daughter's college, my practice-related stuff, etc. So I'll try to limit it to more widespread things.
@MentalFloss (To Kill a Mockingbird named America's Favorite Novel, a few minutes ago...just brings a smile to my face).
@BestofNextdoor. Hysterical.
@ULGrammarFix. I haven't seen this in awhile, but it was funny--"teaching spelling and grammar lessons to Louisville fans."
@HistoryInPics. Great one to follow, bunch of neat photos they post.
@KSRBEvans. Great follow during basketball games, particularly, when he often tweets in-game tempo-free metrics and analysis.
(Seriously, I'd love to get a list of all the KSR folks who have twitter accounts--Bigsky posted his, that's yours, I have one that is nearly dormant but run the @MyKSR1 account all the time, I think jgirl has one, Keith has one, Dan has one, Niki has one, and those are the ones I can remember following off the top of my head.)
I still follow @mac4uk (Jonathan McIntyre, loyal member of this community until his untimely passing). I don't know why. Still follow @BretBearup, too.
@MoviePass. To complain if I need.
@TheCoachJournal. Lot of inspirational stuff that translates to life, too.
@NOAANSSL. National Severe Storms Laboratory.

Re: What are your favorite Twitter follows?
@captainrlm, mostly a lurker, not many tweets
@ap_oddities - just like it sounds, weird stories
@dogfeelings - cute or funny, but definitely enjoyable. Read past tweets to understand it better
@andrewbrandt - some good sports business stuff, but not as annoying as Darren Rowell
@baseballminutia - some pictures, facts from baseball history
@ballcardfacts - random “facts” taken off random baseball cards
@nickbromberg - recently found, like his NASCAR tweets, usually
@sethsharp35, another NASCAR guy
@awardsdarwin - funny in a “what the...” type of way

Re: What are your favorite Twitter follows?
Travis Tritt is probably my favorite. I actually got him to reply to a tweet of mine and wish me a happy birthday. Blake Shelton is funny as hell to follow and of course I follow Donald Trump and enjoy that.
Of course I’ve been in Twitter jail permanently since May. Apparently I called Maxine Waters a “corrupt, loudmouth, dried up, wrinkled liberal whore” a few too many times.

Re: What are your favorite Twitter follows?
You guys should really try some of the "real" twitter follows recommended here.
@bestofnextdoor is cracking me up today.
EDIT--I'm going to post a few of their tweets below so you can get a taste of what it posts. There's usually a short introduction to it, too.Last edited by Darrell KSR; 10-26-2018 at 05:34 PM.

Re: What are your favorite Twitter follows?
I ran one of those "blow and go" ads once. It was disturbing who responded. Even by my standards, and I have no standards.
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Re: What are your favorite Twitter follows?
It cracks me up.
There is a mentally disturbed woman on one of the Nextdoor Neighborhoods that I follow (I really wouldn't call her in my neighborhood, but the next neighborhood over, and in the same Nextdoor Neighborhood group we're in.)
I mean, really cuckoo, and sadly so. They booted her somehow, but it was amazing to see how her mind worked with the conspiracy theories and such. Really out there. I felt sorry for her, but at the same time, wanted to constantly monitor just in case she thought we were doing something to her and she was going to come after us.

Re: What are your favorite Twitter follows?
so is this "Next Door" thing an app? I take it you sign up for your area, but then what happens?

It's an app or desktop. It's worth it to sign up just to read.
