does anyone else get these? i can't tell if they're some spam showing up as from twitter or if twitter's emails are screwed up somehow... they're either in an asian language or they're just screwed up and i can't tell what the "unsubscribe" link is or if that'd just cause me to get more spam BS...
I DON'T EVEN USE TWITTER.

Seeing as you don't use Twitter I'd say that it's definitely spam. Don't click on any links, including unsubscribe, you'll just confirm your email address.
Mark it as spam and hopefully it'll stop showing up in your inbox.
I don't use Twitter either, but I can't imagine they'd be spamming non-users like that.

i get them regularly and tagging them as spam doesn't stop 'em.

I'd say spam.
But it's weird, that navalny dude seems to exist. What's weirder is that he has over 60 000 tweets...

so they are emailing u tweets from random ppl?
if its not spam, it might just be a setting on your account. i think sometimes twitter will send me random email updates from ppl i don't follow (never not in english tho)
i think it is ad based.
