Arrogant tyrants.
Blue-blood bastards.
Call them whatever you want.
Around here, we just call them Kings.
Fancy boats.
Lakeside mansions.
Luxe watches and bespoke suits.
The Kings of High Court College act like Gods.
And Cooper Valcourt is the worst of them.
He is the bully king.
His family owns everything.
And his mission is to put me in my place and send me packing.

currently banned for a week for replying to a Tory MP's bigoted tweet "I wish unlimited ill on you you racist piece of shit". total pointless suicide-by-cop behaviour but it does underline why I need to stay off it tbh

I know a million posts have been posted since, but I recommend Laura Bates' book "Men Who Hate Women" if you want a breakdown of what kids are being subjected to.https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/aug/27/laura-bates-on-the-men-who-hate-women-idolise-murderersNow I’m reading this book. Thanks for recommending.

why do you guys talk about literary clusterfucks on the twitter thread?

Introducing 4000 character tweets might be the move that actually kills Twitter. There are two dozen people in the world who want that and they all read each others’ 1/89 tweet threads anyway.

he's trying to make Twitter a competitor to YouTube and Wordpress (??), which again begs the question of what exactly he thinks Twitter is and why he thinks people use it. what he's doing here is Bad Software Design 101, I'd say "this might actually kill Twitter" but it's Elon so it'll probably just never happen

wonder if the long tweets with have formatting available or if itll just be a really long tweet i hope its just a long tweet thats funnier

also if they just show the whole thing on the timeline

I think once your tweet goes beyond 280 characters you should lose the ability to punctuate or insert line breaks. If you're gonna type 4000 characters it's gonna appear in a solid block of text.

Just noticed a load of yellow/gold ticks on official accounts. Are they gonna start trying to charge $80 for those at some point or what?

gold ticks are for official business accounts
(so yes, they may well start charging more)

NYTimes airhead @ezraklein:"Clean, abundant energy is the foundation on which a more equal, just and humane world can be built."Two points:1.
