Lyle's Twitter Wisdom: Interpreting The Legend (Patreon)

For twenty-eight glorious posts, Lyle ruled Twitter. He still does, if you think about it: he mic-dropped a dozen years ago and hasn't thought about it since. I heard him grousing about his experience there one night not too long ago, when he was out stubbing cigs in the back porch Folger's can: "'I'm at;ired f in duajpoindumpin evyerhting down that endlaless toitlet; twiter s liklea a bsted toitilket thre tank naewvcer fills. tjust runas an runs nd urbrs [runs]."

I think he was saying he was dismayed by the mayfly life of his efforts there, swirling as they did immediately into the ceaseless vortex-maw, accruing to nothing, a waste of art and feeling where people listen only to reflexively disagree, not to understand.
