Yeah I dont ever see ads on Twitter? Is it because I never use it/only have 50 follows? Is it my Adblock? idgi.

I use it heaps and never see ads. Whenever I saw them in the past I would always block them on principle.

no doubt this is weak-minded of me but i don't really consider "this account doesn't exist" as any kind of per se admission on singal's part, let alone a defeat or whatever: lots of ppl switch off their accounts for a while when they want or need to take a pause when the Discourse™️ gets too intense or distracting

Is it my Adblock
yes, using twitter via a browser with an adblocker keeps them from showing up and is now the only tolerable way to use it

pretty gross that the entire reason that dude continues to write bad articles on select topics is that it draws clicks and he's taken that particular stance is he has insanely thin skin and doubles down on his slanted perspective and hate every time someone calls him an asshole

his initial work was wrong-headed and bad and it just keeps getting worse

I logged out but kept some lists public so I can keep up w/ sports, etc, etc. When I visit the site (in a private window blah blah blah), the suggested tweets (not ads) at the bottom are just awful -- anti-"woke", anti-trans, anti-biden, anti-Dems, climate-change denying...just gross.

Little scoop from me today: Twitter has been down-ranking the corporate accounts of its competitors, including 19 official TikTok accounts, 3 Snap accounts, and 2 Instagram accounts. This means their tweets won’t show on the For You tab for the most part: https://t.co/nz8XNGtIXb— Zoë Schiffer (@ZoeSchiffer) March 17, 2023

Ms. Mandel may be an overly rigid and harshly judgemental person who is belligerently proud of her bad politics, but she is correct that a person on a ventilator undergoing a life-threatening major infection and cascading failures of multiple vital organs (as she describes her mother being at the time) is predictably going to die in a matter of days or weeks, regardless of treatment. The idea of anyone 'making a recovery' under such circumstances is nothing but a false hope. The only indeterminate factor is how long and agonizing their remaining time will be before they die. Responsible physicians would have made that clear to her at the time.

do you think the ppl in this thread are responding to her own statement that her mother might have survived, or to other information not in the statement
