Twitter requiring using carefully throttled script to disable detected interests in the settings is fun. I tried doing it by hand but you hit a rate limit and it will undo changes from before you even hit the rate limit. They're ridiculously bad at detecting interests.

, Twitter is showing me news about viticulture. Android is obviously to blame for it thinking that I want to see information about Oreos. Maybe I should try telling them I live in Europe to see if they let me clear all of this out.

The interests Twitter has detected for me include Chan Sung Jung. I could, I suppose, Google to find out who or what that is, but I'm not really motivated. (I use the "latest tweets" feed, so I'm hoping its idea of my interests doesn't matter so much.)
