Twitter C/D

regularly commits code

what's "regularly" here? once a day, once a month?

perhaps Threads can be both a social media site and the UK movie at the same time

friend who worked at fb also told that zuck is a l33t coder

Elon Musk made a bad $44 billion investment after a lifetime of free rides and it made him so angry he’s spent the last year going “let’s kill trans 😭😭😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡!!” Zuckerberg meanwhile vaporized trillions and all his posts are still like “TV is awesome to watch :)”

better to have fox news doing the work for you

yeah i feel like a significant part of Carlson’s core audience is old fogies who barely know what Twitter is

yeah anyone hear from bill oreilly recently

Ed Zitron wrote a hood thing this week about both Twitter decay and Threads

*good thing

twitter's gonna be the new myspace, a few lonely tweets on some aging server somewhere

wait, never mind, MySpace is alive and well

Amazing facts!

In 2010, Gareth Williams, a British MI6 spy, was found dead at his London flat with his decomposing body in the bathtub, padlocked inside a bag. Police ruled his death as "accidental" concluding he died by getting into the bag on his own and accidentally locking himself inside. pic.twitter.com/YR5HNgGKBB

why would you commit code as the head of a company with a zillion employees, that’s goofy

I was joking with a friend yesterday that 15 - 20 years ago we’d be excited about new websites and apps, new stuff would come out and maybe it’d be cool, maybe it’d disappear weeks later but there was at least some sense of novelty

now, most of the sites and apps that I end up using I try to avoid making an account, they’re necessary to do something I need to do, and so many are bad in ways that didn’t matter when I wanted to just goof off with friends. some of this is a function of age, but not all of it

that friend had posted how some reservations app was trash. turns out, he and his wife were on vacation and had dinner reservations, and she decided to add a reservation for a cocktail bar a few hours later. when she made the second reservation, it canceled the first reservation without any warning. so he tried signing up and the confirmation email/message weren’t working, at which point he was just pissed off

-why would you commit code as the head of a company with a zillion employees, that’s goofy

he wants to stay turned in its admirable imo like when toyota executives go work the line for a week

oh, sure

that works as solidarity as long as you’re not unionized I guess

i wouldnt call it solidarity, just being interested in whats going on

twitter not loading for me at all. people have said this before over the last few months but it’s the first time it’s happened to me

at least there used to be a fail whale

they shd bring it back

limited edition failwhale NFT

in case you’re wondering how Threads is going, it’s people responding earnestly to stolen dril tweets pic.twitter.com/eKyOhfHkBX

at this rate Threads will never be one of the cool kids

Zuck is a cuck

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 9, 2023

great world we live in

No one has ever been so skilled at making you want to hit them with a baseball bat.

Not kill, just a solid whack to the thigh when he gets to the second c in cuck.

I just received more Bluesky invites than I expected so maybe they are starting to ramp-up.

Not that it's news to anyone but Twitter is completely fucked now. All the top replies and quote tweets of that Musk tweet are just blue tick sycophants

I’d be interested in a Bluesky invite if anyone has one to spare. My ILX mail works.

Same please!

Do I have ILX mail? How does that work, anyways?

pretty sure i signed up to the waiting list ages ago.
and still nothing ...

ysi?

current twitter ad (may not be up for long, may never be taken down lol): includes fake BBC story inc.fake david attenborough quote advertising something called QuantumAI

the tease for the story -- justified office-worker revenge on boss -- is maybe the most interesting element in it

He poured concrete on his boss's car to take revenge for humiliation at work.

Online is getting better by the day

the tease for the story -- justified office-worker revenge on boss -- is maybe the most interesting element in it

That picture of the concrete-filled Corvette is from 1998 though.

yes i don't mean "interesting bcz it's a thought-inducing story" (it's basically a fake story woven round an old photo) i mean "interesting bcz of what is tonally assumed to pull the suckers in" (= consequence-free revenge on yr boss)

buy into our thing bcz it will help you fvck ppl over

how can worker dissatisfaction be capitalized on

Concrete-filled Corvette
Baby you're much too fast
Concrete-filled Corvette
You need a love that's gonna last

Well, it was a fun 8 years, & two years before that with a previous account. But all good things must come to an end. So from midnight this is sayonara. I hope a few of you learned something. As for the rest of you, I'm sure you'll find someone else to hate-tweet at soon enough.

— Andrew Lilico (@andrew_lilico) July 10, 2023

He'll be back as soon as he finds out that his steaming hot takes are of no interest elsewhere.
Not that Lolico was ever that big a deal on Twitter, cunts of that magnitude can usually do better than a paltry 40k followers.

Never heard of him

Oh but you will, you will

Andrew ConEd

sir, thank you

You are free to be your true self here

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 11, 2023

Free to be You and Elon

sounds like something a soyboy cuck would say

i will choose "fee will"

Remember that the only difference between ‘Twitter’ and ‘Threads’ is a fee will.

Numbers are just a distraction.

— Elon Musk (Parody) (@elonmuskewl) July 11, 2023

i love that there are like 35,000 Musk parody accounts

if I had known people would willingly give $8/month to sit in a sandbox and insult each other.....
