The 50 Dumbest Tweets of 2011. Part 1
Last year, Miss Zindzi and I collaborated to bring you the 25 Dumbest Tweets of 2010, summarizing a year’s worth of stupidity on Twitter into 25 highlights (or lowlights, depending on how you look at it). It was so well-received that it spurred me to create DumbestTweets.com to chronicle the foolishness that takes place in [...]
Remember Facebook Honesty Box?
In like 2007, Facebook introduced apps, and one of them was “Honesty Box.” Honesty Box allowed you to send any of your friends messages anonymously. It allowed folks to say whatever they wanted, without repercussions or anything. And folks acted accordingly. Honest Box was a vessel for bitchassness and all hell broke loose on Facebook. [...]
As I HOWLED! But I Feel Bad. Still… HA!
Someone submitted this to DumbestTweets.com last night and I laughed so hard that I probably woke up my neighbors. There is nothing funny about death but *howls like a wolf at the full moon* Whoever @KingLewie is ain’t about that life AT ALL!! I feel so bad for laughing SO HARD at this. But I [...]
If the Social Networks Were in High School
High school is a microcosm of the real world. Folks think when they graduate, the dynamics they had to deal with then end. WRONG! Life is high school on a larger scale. So I thought about what would happen if the social networks where we spend our eLives were high school and this is what [...]
Facebook is Not Charging Folks! Have a SEAT!
I logged into Facebook today and my newsfeeds is full of folks who have posted this as their status: No. Just NO. This is false as hell. And I replied under some of them with “This is false” until I got tired of it. And I really kind of want to dropkick everyone who posted [...]
Dear Facebook, Stop It with the Changes
I was on Facebook last night and refreshed my page. I walked away and came back and saw my newsfeeds were hella different looking. Facebook has earned yet another sternly-worded letter. Dear Facebook, STOP IT! You do this EVERY TIME! Every. single. time. You make a huge change, we complain and then get used to [...]
Facebook Ad FAIL
Facebook is feeling like the older brother who still wants to practice his guitar and go on tour with his garage band, except he’s 45 and balding. I’m not sure what this is supposed to mean but go with me here. It’s just been hella obnoxious to me lately, with their changes. And tryna keep [...]
Aaliyah Passed 10 Years Ago and Twitter Acts A Complete Fool In Her Honor
There are certain times when the folks on Twitter make me shake my head vigorously. Anytime it comes to the death of a celebrity, some of the people on Twitter act like complete dummies with no home training or couth. Folks make me pull out my post on the Stages of Celebrity Grief on Twitter [...]
Someone Come Get Juanita Bynum And Her Speaking in Tongues on Facebook
Some of you may have heard of Evangelist Juanita Bynum. She of the scandal where her husband beat her down in the church parking lot or something wretched like that. AOL Black Voices even wrote a story called “Beat Up From the Feet Up.” And please don’t judge me for laughing at that title. That’s [...]
I’m LA-Bound. Blogging While Brown, Here I Come!

The Bible, As Told in 2053. Or Through Blogs
I was bored so I started thinking of what would happen if they came out with the new Bible in like 2053. Or maybe even today. How would the stories be told differently? How it would be covered by blogosphere and others. 2053 Bible is probably gon say Jonah got swallowed by the Fail Whale. [...]
Apparently, You Can Get Birth Control Pills on Twitter
When I tell you that Twitter is the Den of Iniquity, please believe me. That place is where logic and any semblance of good sense goes to die. Which is why I created DumbestTweets.com to keep track of all the foolishness that goes on there. At this point, I thought I’d seen it all. But [...]
