Best Longform Twitterings, 2014

Posted on December 26, 2014    Posted by John Scalzi      4 Comments

I spent a lot of time on Twitter in 2014, partly because I traveled quite a lot this year, and partly because Twitter is just kinda fun. Every now and again I would go on a multitweet spree on something, or have an interesting twitter conversation, which I would then repost on Whatever for posterity, and for the amusement of the folks who don’t actually use or enjoy Twitter. Here are some of them. They range from silly to serious, i.e., pretty much like Whatever itself. Enjoy. These are in (somewhat) chronological order.
