Can you imagine the tweets they would have had at the end of the Roman Empire?! 🤣
@MLClark omg! 😂
On a slightly related note (if you know, you know) I've said for years that the fact that Twitter didn't exist until *after* the late, great Sir Peter Ustinov passed away is all the proof we need that God doesn't exist 👍
I seriously wonder about some of our greatest writers. If they'd had Twitter, would they have written their best works?
F. Scott would be too busy enduring a mob pile-on when Zelda called him out publicly for plagiarism.
Hemingway would be vying for a spot in the manosphere, maybe going on Rogan.
Melville would still write Moby Dick, but as one long tweet-thread with no likes.
Iris Murdoch would be posting sagely about morality while slipping into commenters' DMs for affairs. 🙃
@MLClark Oh that's some serious other-level thinking. I love it!
(and I'm laughing so much at the Iris Murdoch thought 😂 )
SHE WROTE FROM EXPERIENCE, M'KAY?! 🤣 IT WAS ALL "RESEARCH".
