“The society we live in is really messed up… here’s my twitter account name, follow it… also I’m a DJ.”

Yes, you’re right about society, but not for the reason you think…

Also, what did you use to make that absurd infographic, a MacBook possibly?  
Also, you use Twitter for iPhone, as it says on your Twitter account.
Also, you wrote in “✔ Verified Account…..” at the top of your Twitter account, even though it’s not actually verified.
Also, you additionally advertise yourself as: “DJ FOR HEINEKEN • CORPORATE DJ • MIXTAPE DJ • CLUB DJ “

Also, if “no one cries” over what appears to be a really cliche photograph of “starving African children” (and seriously, the meme-ing out of “starving African children” is a low blow), you’re implying that you aren’t crying either.

Also, Steve Jobs was a baller.

Also, your statistics are illogical.

Your argument is now extremely invalid.

THE TOP TRENDING TOPIC ON TWITTER THIS MORNING? 

#reasonstobeatyourgirlfriend

Some crazy, irrational, angry feminists are like, getting upset about it. But as “That Kid” pointed out, IT’S CLEARLY A HILARIOUS JOKE YOU GUYS! Physical abuse occurs in 1 in 4 marriages! 20% of adolescent girls have been physically or sexually abused by a boyfriend or date! In the U.S. 3 women on average are killed per day by their boyfriends, husbands, or exes! Isn’t it just hysterically funny?! 

Can we do #reasonstorapeagirl and #reasonstokillyourchild next? (Oh! The Casey Anthony trial!  It has not talked about enough yet!) 

Have no fear, everyone.

Famed singer and worldwide talent Khia, singer of the beloved Billboard chart topper “My Neck My Back (Lick My Pussy and My Crack)”, will be keeping Amy Winehouse’s music alive even after her tragic-but-sadly-sorta-to-be-expected death.

Thank you, Khia, for using your talents to keep Amy’s crooning carols around forever.

Also, “I’m so gald I got to meet you in are generation.”  There’s also that.

We here at the Museum are NOT embarrassed to admit that this right here, this single entry that you are currently reading, is unlike all the rest.  For this is merely a blog post.

This is NOT an Artifact of Modernity Photo of the anything.  This is just us writing on this here website.

This is not an entry of post-ironic discovery into the ever-evolving canon of artifacts that make up our lovely mom and pop shop of a museum.  This is just some words that we’d like to share.

[actual content of this post starts below]  
This is not a (post)(post)modern marvel of any kind.  This is just a way for us to thank our Museum visitors, and especially thank our Tumblr followers, a scholarly group of mostly humans which now adds up to a whopping 200 of you.  (Kudos to nastypeople, the 200th of them all.)

This is also a friendly reminder that Art of Mod tweets.  Yes, we really occasionally do.  
And since so so few people care to actually “follow” us on Twitter, we’d like to say a few words:

- Firstly, thank you to all of you who don’t even have a Twitter account and thus can’t “follow” us because that would be logistically impossible without an account.  The world is a better place thanks to you.

- Secondly, thank you to those of you who do use Twitter and do follow us.  We hope our limited number of tweets inspire and enrich your life every day.  (Okay, we lied, this is actually an apology for wasting space on your Twitter feed.  We know you like following JustJared, name-that-up-and-coming-Disney-star, and that crazy black chick you went to high school with more than us and we’re fine with that.  Seriously, we are.)

- Thirdly, to the rest of you, the majority probably, who do have Twitter accounts but do not “follow” @ArtofMod, thank you as well.  It’s thanks to you that we stay so level-headed in life.  If it weren’t for you, lord knows how egotistical and un-mediocre-feeling we’d become.  And even more importantly, if it weren’t for you we wouldn’t be taking time out of our July 4th, 2011 to write this hardly-passionate plea to get you to “follow” us.

So all in all, yeah, we admit it.  This here is just a blog post.  And worse than that, it’s kind of an advertisement.  But better than that, it’s also chock full of thank you’s.

Hope you all feel really good about yourselves because we thanked each and every one of you in some regard.  We appreciate your continued patronage of the Museum and look forward to cleaning up more of your used gum you stick under all the benches.

With deepest sincerity, patriotism and silliness,
The Curators.

The following is a collection of tweets from many a Twitter user looking to “tweet at” (a function where the @ symbol is used followed by a Twitter user’s username) Selena Gomez, the current girlfriend of everyone’s favorite lesbian singer-songwriter Justin Bieber.

First, here’s the loving couple wearing not very much on their recent Hawaiian vacation together:

Now, please proceed with joy and delight and caution and excitement with the following NSFW Selena Gomez Justin Bieber relationship induced tweets:

As much as the Artifacts of Modernity Online Museum knows that its museum-goers don’t always appreciate when we Curators reblog thedailywhat, since everyone and their Mom kinda read thedailywhat anyway, but these tweets from Dwayne “The Rock” “You’re kids love me via my short-lived Disney franchising” Johnson require some attention.

thedailywhat informed us today that this series of “TEAM BRING IT FOREVER PROUD” tweets via the death of Osama bin Laden were posted by “The Rock” a full hour before the President’s announcement, which was a good twenty minutes before most news sources got any wind of the breaking story.

So, basically, this means that “The Rock” knows more / is far more connected to our government than we like to think…

What The Rock Is Tweeting of the Day: Approximately an hour before President Obama’s big announcement that Osama bin Laden has been killed during an assault on his drone-proof compound in Pakistan, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson took to Twitter to report that he had just been informed of something “that will shock the world.”

Knowing that The Rock has a direct pipeline to top secret intelligence reports both confirms what I’ve always suspected and makes me feel a smell of a lot safer.

Do you feel safer?  I think We here at the Museum feel far more insecure…

In case you’re unfamiliar with the logistics of the social media communication site Twitter, a Twitter home page consists of a few things, one of which is ‘Trends’.  Trends is a list of the 10 most popular phrases or topics tweeted about on the entire Twittosphere at that moment in time.

On Monday, April 18, 2011, the following was listed at nearly the top of the Trends list: ‘Black Twitter’.  As in, if the social media site had a version for black people.

We here at the Museum have taken the time to archive some of the better tweets that came out of this meme / Trending topic.  Enjoy the following…

Okay, that it might, that’s fair.  Moving on.

Hmmm… colorful and comical, we suppose… not offensive to any race or gender or anything… 

Wait a sec, we thought that Black Twitter would be called Twidda.  Now it’s being called Twizzle?  Which will it be called?  Which name will be used?  (Which seat will I choooose?)

Some people like the user above took to the twittosphere to tweet about how the trending topic seemed rather unethical.  This user not only got to share his opinion openly, but also got to hashtag some 2010-era rhetoric at the end via #justsaying.

Welp, that’s a statement.  Or maybe this is one of those things that’s accepted and okay amongst Black communities to say.  The Museum curator staff apologizes for not being black enough to be sure.

Lolz.  Does that even make sense?  Is Black Twitter really gonna be at the club?  This user clearly sees Black Twitter as not a social media communication site.  We think there’s some confusion going on here.

(FYI, for all non-Twitter users, Twitter is not something that has the capacity to steal your girl or your guy or anyone at a club, or anywhere for that matter.  It is not a living person, just to clear things up.  Maybe more people are confused about this than we think, who knows.)

Gotta love a little #UrbanHonesty.  (The Museum definitely plans on utilizing this hashtag via its Twitter account at twitter.com/ArtofMod in the near future)

Well #UrbanHonesty aside, it seems that some people like Francine Frensky here are clearly upset.  

Okay everyone stop, wait a second, if you also just read Francine Frensky and thought “That name sounds familiar,” it’s definitely because that is the name of the tomboy-ish girl from the kids book series/tv show Arthur.  Yes, she’s the one that resembles a monkey.  

Yeah, dis girl: 

Moving along, and fast…

Good to know some people enjoyed it in all it’s humor and wit.

Oooh, shit gets political.  But that’s pretty fair…  Way to be raw, GrumpyComments.

And finally:

Hope you all enjoyed what we did here.

In case the news wasn’t depressing enough as it is…

This is heartbreaking.

Do people tweet you back?

Do you follow the Museum on Twitter at twitter.com/ArtofMod?

If the Museum tweeted @ you, would you tweet it back or leave it to crumble in its own sad state of social networking solitude?

Well, that’s quite an interesting thing to say / put out into the universe for anyone to see via Twitter, Kenneth Cole.  

Is this hilarious?  
Is the comedic jest that this puts out there hilarious?  
Is this so awkward it is hilarious?  
Is this so horrifically incorrect that it is thus superbly hilarious?  
Is the fact that by being such a douchebag Kenneth Cole will get more hits and notability the part that is actually hilarious?

Is it wrong to use hashtags regarding political unrest as an advertising method?

Should the Art of Mod Museum try to launch the “Millions are in uproar in #Cairo. Rumor is… (insert statement here)” meme?

Good morning and here’s some exciting news to kick start another Manic Monday (we are aware that it’s Saturday)… ‘RIP Nelson Mandela’ is currently the number one trending topic on Twitter.

And it may or may not be the worst thing ever.  Since, according to every real source possible, he’s definitely still alive.

Please note the best tweet of these all… ;)
