trolling

John Lewis is famous for releasing a touching Christmas advertisement every year. Of course there's another John Lewis who ends up getting all the Tweets that people direct to the department store and he's just a guy living in America. Fortunately he has a great sense of humor about it.

This poor Scottish Steve Bannon laddy has continually been mistaken on Twitter for a very different Steve Bannon, who is the controversial far-right White House Chief Strategist and Senior Counsel to the President, and former Executive Chair of alt-right news site Breitbart News. At least he's handling it like a master troll.

Today in Twitter theater we have the story of Dave Holmes, an LA based writer and comedian who received a scam call from someone pretending to be from the IRS. Since he was at the beginning of a commute, Dave decided to go along with the scheme.

Content warning: some language ahead is as shady as a scam call.

Nearly everyone from both sides of the political spectrum have fun with Trump memes. And occasionally an idea rolls around that's so simple and pure, it makes us forget the ominous and unstable times we live in ---- this is one of those ideas. SNL Writer Josh Patten has taken trolling Donald Trump's stubbornly endless stream of fleeting thoughts, occasional announcements concerning the state of world affairs, and not-so-rare incendiary cultural commentary....to new heights by pretending like he's having a personal texting convo with DJ Trump himself. The resulting hypothetical texting correspondence is alarmingly believable, and entirely hilarious. 

J.K. Rowling's been wielding that electric wit with brutal, knifelike precision lately, when it comes to run of the mill alt-right cucks going after her on Twitter. These are some of the latest victims to her words of sweet savagery. 

Tumblr user Hostage Situation had a bit of a problem: How do you get an overly-friendly screen-reader to back off on a public bus? Luckily she had an amazing friend, and then texting magic happened. Check it all out here!
