                            RIP Stupid Twitter Trick
                                        
One month shy of six years.

That's how long my Stupid Twitter Trick™ [1] has been running.

Then, my Stupid Twitter Trick™ received the following from Twitter [2]:

Sigh.

It isn't like this is the first time [3] Twitter broke things [4] and I was
all set to fix it when I suddenly realized—six years! I've been pushing the
same quotes file for six years! I've repeated all the quotes π times (no,
seriously—7,743 tweets, 2,464 quotes, means each quote was repeated π times).

So, I've decided to put Silicon Wisdom on hiatus, until I figure out what
stupid Twitter thing I want to do next.
