BU TweetCreep Mar. 24 – 30

Hey kitty Creepers!  Good to be back! I’m starting to feel like posting these Tweetcreeps is the only thing giving my life structure week to week which may or may not be terrifying. I hear the jury’s still out on sanity.

Campus was looking pretty slick this week, mostly because of the rain but also fashion maybe? If you’ve ever spent 2 minutes in conversation with me you know that I crave **style** and I feel like people are really stepping it up lately. Either that, or my New Year’s resolution to “look up more” is really panning out. The world is vast!

Here’s some arbitrary news that I randomly chose to alert you to:

Ivanka is an unpaid intern.

Your browser history could be up for sale.

What do Charlie Baker and Chris Christie have in common…besides me as a constituent?

Brexit is happening I guess.

And good content!!!!

Frog tales!

THIS TINY GIRL LOVING A ROBOT!

Honest apologies!

Boston is racist!

S Town! Which I have many thoughts and feelings about. Please talk to me.

Drag Race is back!!!

Cool ok!

Gogo Gadget TweetCreep!!!!!

 


 

Who did this? It’s unsettling. Also there’s a lot of important ’90s culture that’s missing from this promotional tweet:

– The landmark Supreme Court case Godinez v. Moran from 1993. The court found that a defendant who is competent to stand trial is automatically competent to plead guilty or waive the right to legal counsel. Make a movie about that, much?

– The 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art heist! As if!?

– Umm or how about when the Hubble Telescope was repaired in space by a crew on the Space Shuttle Endeavor in 1993??

– The creation of the WTO in 1995 replacing the GATT (which, come on, was pretty lackluster to begin with).

– 1996 ASK JEEVES WAS CREATED!!!!!!!!!! RIP JEEVES!!!!!!! ALEXA CAN KISS MY LEFT TOE KNUCKLE!!!!! JEEVES FOREVER!!!!!

What the heck is going on in there? Is it just an empty building with a giant fMRI machine in there???? That’s spooky!!!!!! That’s like the end of a scary murder movie where the person thinks they’ve escaped the killer by tunneling underground and then they push back a manhole cover and find themselves in an empty building with an fMRI machine in it. Then the killer jumps out and is like, “This was a psychological thriller the whole time,” and then you realize the nice human was actually in an insane asylum and the fMRI machine was a metaphor for brotherhood.

But…what if you like clouds?


I want to preface these next few tweets by stating three facts: 1) Questrom School of Business held a lecture event featuring Allen Questrom itself and Terry Lundgren of Macy’s. 2) I did not attend this lecture. 3) The livetweets from said lecture are objectively wonderful when taken completely out of context.

AS OPPOSED TO NOW WHEN ALL THE THINGS ARE THE SAME AND EVERYTHING’S ALL BLURRY!!! In 2027 it’s going to be great, we’re finally going to be able to forget all these politics and civil rights junk and really zoom in on that customer. And that customer will be named Jeff and he will be very stressed out by all the people focusing on him.

It’s a burrito. The consumer wants a burrito NOW.

This one really tickled my brainstem. What were the first and second most popular questions? How are we measuring popularity? Did someone ask a question and then poll the audience to see how everyone felt about it?

Timid Student: “Um hi, I had a question about the unpredictability of sales tax futures and how much those may or may not fluctuate on a state-by-state basis”?

Crowd: BOO!!!! WE DO NOT LIKE THAT QUESTION!!! BAD QUESTION!!!

Moderator: I’m sorry son but it looks like your question was the 18th most popular audience question today and unfortunately will neither be answered nor tweeted. As you can see we’re also going around the room with brain zappers to make sure it is erased from everyone’s memory.

Brave, Cool Student: WHAT ARE YOU DUDES WEARING?

Crowd: WE ARE GOING WILD!!!! WE ENJOY THIS QUESTION ALMOST AS MUCH AS THE TWO THAT WILL FOLLOW IT!!! THIRD MOST POPULAR QUESTION!!!

Duh! They don’t need to hydrate and never tire.

Not true, some of them are love stories. Why the broad generalizations here @Alex_Horwitz?


I’m just going to call this next section @BUCasting Corner. Because I love them. This week’s theme is jobs.

They’re young. They’re hot. They tend to enjoy human interaction and thrive off of being around other people. And now, they’re looking for employment.

This woman is young. She’s desperate. And now, she’s looking for employment.

 

 

Alright, alright, alright. Enough jesting. That’s all I’ve got for today. As always, keep your criticisms to yourself as I am only accepting positivity into my ears this week. Byeeee!!!!
