He also runs the SciShow YouTube channel which is pretty cool.

Like, maybe I'm missing something but why is someone with influence saying objectively correct things about sex work IOSM?

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

My brother recently made a Twitter account and after I told him how to change his user name from whatever the default, FirstLxxxxxxxx bot-looking thing was he switched to something innocent ending with his birth year. I keep flipping back and forth on whether I should advise him of the connotation between 88 and the neo-Nazis or if I’m just terminally online and should let it be. He uses his new platform to pick fights with Trump supporters, there’s no doubt that he’s in the “punch Nazis now” camp.

I can’t decide between “I agree that we shouldn’t ruin a dude for a fairly harmless fuckup, however gross” and “you’re not supposed to watch what’s happening and feel attacked, bro”

well, if my memory's correct, that'd be more or less the first good opinion anyone in the John Green circle has ever had.

Getting caught masturbating in a staff meeting isn't a fairly harmless fuckup. Like, none of your co-workers signed up to be part of your exhibitionism fetish.

Surely being too terminally online for Twitter would be next to impossible?

Also, broad generalisation here, but aren't most people on Twitter gonna see "88? Must be a Nazi troll" instead of, y'know, reading his posts and profile and developing a well-reasoned conclusion?

Oddly I can actually confirm the grossness of LBJ. My dad was on his detail as a Secret Service agent back in the day, and has said Johnson was one of the crudest dudes ever. Liked to loudly fart in elevators, no matter who else was on it.

So yes. Gross.

I joined Twitter in the halcyon days of 2007, and I'm pretty sure my account is my name with an 88 after it. I posted like 3 times and gave up on it because no one was there in 2007 so the whole thing seemed dumb. Kind of glad I didn't build up a 13 year posting history with a Nazi symbol, tbh.
