What a unique, novel take on this issue! I don't think anyone has looked at the issues around verification of Twitter accounts in quite this way before. This really opens up a whole new perspective I hadn't thought about before. Public discourse is incontestably better for it.

1912
A reader sends in this review:
Today's xkcd: your poorly designed tech appliance broke in a way you couldn't have caused, please kill yourself
This joke might have worked back in the days of PC supremacy where people had way too much control over their device's guts by default, but not now with locked down appliances

1910
A trifecta of Bad XKCD tropes:
1) False modesty in the form of what is meant to look like self-deprecation about being a nerd, while pointing out that actually nerds are the best
2) Stupid post-punchline dialogue
3) Alt-text that shows he clearly thinks this is a clever comic by cringeworthy over-commitment to the joke
Randall also often draws women's hair with more detail than men's, so that the women look weirdly three-dimensional in comparison. It's especially noticeable when they're standing right next to each other, since the tops of the women's heads appear to pop out of the frame in a really jarring way.
