ho lee shit

too good, twitters getting sued lol

never thought when I was a kid that if I was clever and made a burner account on a website that I could tank a multi-billion dollar global company. I didn't dream big enough.

i'm glad that eli lilly lost some stock value but is this going to be the kind of thing where they've miraculously recovered all of the lost value by next wednesday?

they'll argue that they'd have earned trillons more in that time!

twitter will not get sued because they are protected by Section 230

Thursday evening, another blue-checkmark account posing as Eli Lilly with the handle LiIlyPadCo, tweeted a parody of the drug maker's apology, writing: "We apologize to those who were have been served a misleading message from a fake Lilly account about the cost of diabetic care. Humalog is now $400. We can do this whenever we want and there's nothing you can do about it. Suck it. Our official Twitter account is @LiIlyPadCo." Amid replies, the account responded, "$500 now. You want to keep going?" The account has since been suspended.

Eli Lilly lost billions in its stock valuation, probably on a very temporary basis. The real losses weren't to the company, but to all the stockholders who panic-sold at far below the market price prior to the tweet. Some of those will be very large pension funds, hedge funds and mutual funds, who will be pissed off as hell.

Eli Lilly will just jack up the price for insulin, they'll come out okay

Lol

Lol: Twitter sent an HR email to every laid off employee acknowledging it's late getting people their separation agreements and release of claims. But the company messed up the BCC and it has become a reply-all catastrophe.

i mean they have been sued for this before, im not a lawyer but i dont think 230 allows for wanton negligence, and even if it did they could still get sued

(also NAL): the blue check is provided/published by twitter itself not a third party, so 230 might not help them if the argument is that the verification service is the root cause not the tweet's content

right but it makes the debate around the _future_ of 230 more salient.

fwiw it seems the eli lilly drop was nothing to do with twitter

Eli Lilly is down 5% because the market for their most profitable drug, a $125k/yr mAb IL-17 inhibitor, fell 5%. This is why Novartis, their major competitor with Cosentyx, is also down the same amount

Nice to know that, Musk or no Musk, unsupported claims that support people's priors and are attached to a nice-looking graph can still use Twitter to rocket around the internet

what a journey for eli lilly losing billions and the lessons i learned on the way

The first tweet here made me laugh so hard.

lol the twimg.com cert is being applied to the site. someone screwed up their proxy settings, sounds like

Scoop from within Twitter: small things are breaking, not enough engineers to fix them.

Noticed that notification counts are not showing? The BE service powering it is down since Thursday. A bug was filed, but the team that would fix it is full on with verification work.

This thread makes the point that the World Cup is coming. The site used to break every time someone scored a goal in the World Cup.

it's up to the goalkeepers to keep twitter up, this year

shame this tweet did numbers. They’ll fix it now.

This whole situation of all these little things on Twitter breaking reminds me of the hypothetical about how long our energy grid would continue to work without human involvement

My only hit is a crypto-bro relative who may have lost a shitload of money in FTX. Unsurprised by any of it.

my only hit is choire, and i'm willing to give him the benefit of the lolz

basically only valid excuses are tanking Eli Lilly's share price or introducing fascinating new Mr Bean canon

some people just have them who previously subscribed to twitter blue

is that a porno thing or

big time porno

last night my top three were "fucked up looking food", "cats with jobs" and 'CCTV IDIOTS"

but today the "HOW THINGS WORK" account is muscling in, which seems a pity

yeah all the ones in mine were gimmick accounts, assume theyre doing it cause twitter blue offers you tools handy for managing big accounts

like 5 substacks i'm subscribed to have emailed me in the past week that their substack chat is now open

someone with a lil bread needs just need to bite the bullet and make a twitter clone, except without all the weird cruft, therell be plenty of time for that

send twitter to ilx, they'll love it here

truth social would seem to be a twitter clone, but with extra weird shit going on

I made my own Twitter clone at https://jklol.net/posts.html it contains only my posts and you cannot like or RT them but you can email me if you like any of my posts!
