Twitter C/D

yeah.
i have been trying to respond to a tweet and getting that issue.

Gotta say twitter is accidentally been the best it's ever been. I am seeing less news -- it's gone to just about the right amount of news than the sorta overload it might've been -- and more of what some of the ppl I follow tweet. It's slowly becoming a less engaging app in a way, which is good but also surely means I will be surprised if it's left standing by the end of the year.

ya i kinda feel this. no idea if it’s true but i heard the algorithm is deemphasizing tweets with links to outside sites, which while it prob sucks for ppl who rely on twitter for self promotion (and also lol so stupid from a business pov) could be having a positive indirect effect if more tweets are self-contained

Thank u Elon

is this a serious problem? really? speaking for "real women" no one particularly wants to be naked in a locker room or anywhere with strangers or possibly with anyone anywhere at any time naked or not. cannot believe this is an issue in good faith. https://t.co/AeYksQ6hR6

Yeah Karl Malone did it first, well played.

Drew Gooden is the poor man's Karl Malone

jeez, if I had 42.5K likes on my tweet, i'd retire and just get some land, start up a little residency program

thats funny that hes got a basketball player name too, tho i suspect its also his real one

Dr. K

Dr. K

"no one particularly wants to be naked in a locker room or anywhere with strangers or possibly with anyone anywhere at any time naked or not" just a little too long for a display name

Joyce Carol Oates is doing so well on Twitter recently I’m wondering if she’s being subbed for

i hope she gets into it with jesse singal

true! mainstream media seizes upon highly atypical, microscopic samples of an issue that affects virtually no one, amplifies it maniacally, continues to focus upon it as if it were some sort of threat to the commonweal, & not an amplified paranoid-figment of media imagination. https://t.co/NekhibYvRK

although yeah it might not really be her

the sentiment is good but doesnt have the visionary thought levels of her best work such as complaining about halloween decorations being insinuative to those who have been touched by death or of musing that there must be something good about isis

She tweeted this a year ago, fwiw:

US where millions of voters are roiled to a frenzy by the notion of trans persons existing but seem totally oblivious to political ploys to insure their perpetual servitude in low paying jobs & pathetic health care.

Joyce Carol Oates is definitely swinging for the fences. I like following her

I’m frankly amazed at her recent tweets. An old woman pretty much mic dropping on the trans debate.

didn't take long to get back to the era where you'd click a trending topic and it would just be a bunch of random stuff with the same assortment of hashtags which had nothing to do with the post for whatever reason

when you click on a notification that someone has liked your tweet, it no longer sends you to that tweet (or a list of the three tweets of yours they have liked) - it just sends you to the list of liked tweets on their profile, which also seems to be about a day out of date. why?

this has NEVER WORKED xpost

I think before Elon's takeover there was definitely a team filtering the stuff trending for no reason out. would definitely slip through sometimes though.

This seems bleak.

1) Serious foreign influence campaigns continue online.

2) Twitter no longer is working with Facebook on these investigations and seems to be completely open to manipulation.

3) Twitter's elimination of transparency mechanisms will make this problem even worse. https://t.co/3BEMM1jv0H

Meanwhile Elmo is chumming it up with avowed racist Scott Adams and resposting creepy old transphobic memes.

The man spent 44 billion to be catturd2’s bitch.

catturd is kind of funny, but not in the ways he’s attempting to be

the website is so slow now lol

rip esther?

I loaded a tweet on a browser I wasn’t logged in on and under “more tweets” it was literally just 10 Elon Musk stolen memes in a row

the system works

the website is so slow now lol

― 龜, Sunday,

it's definitely creaking.
i wake up in the morning, check twitter, and after a couple of tweets i start seeing the same stuff i did before i went to sleep.
take several refreshes to actually see any of the new stuff.

he’s going to force-unblock himself soon, right?

he’s going to force-unblock himself soon, right?

i've blocked him but can still see his profile.

rip esther?

Playing video games is a really fun & connective way to spend family time — especially cooperative games like Overcooked, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, Cuphead and It Takes Two. 🎮
