Twitter C/D

Same goes for watching Belly, probably.

I have seen Belly the band but not the movie. Good show, but it was shortened by thunder and lightning, because it was an outdoor show. Maybe good that I hadn't smoked a blunt.

"Feed the Tree" is a euphemism for rolling a huge joint

hes lovin it cmon

every time I look at Twitter these days, I'm struck by how much the presence of blue-check subscribers has degraded the experience. I know this point has been made many times before, but reading replies to any semi-popular tweet now is painful. is the subscription revenue really worth it?

its for sure not, musk straight up wrecked the site cause all of his sv friends told him they would pay for twitter

ass in bio

Yeah, I wouldn’t bother reading the replies to any tweet by high profile person like AOC, just miles of blue check horrors

I think racism has become worse on the political edges of American society, which makes it more virulent and impactful to POC and women.

People can come on @X and other platforms, remain anonymous, and find common ground with other racists, homophobes, anti-semites etc that… https://t.co/isT8A0PXVP

don't read the replies

He’s running

this is the common sense leadership, bridging crypto and woke, that our nation so badly needs

His take is simple, but tweets are like that. It's not like he got it badly wrong. otoh, he's a white multi-billionaire and a publicity hog who loves to hear himself talk, so for him it's like having an opinion about dolphins or the price of wheat.

will stancil is going to milkshake duck so hard

That tweet is even better if you imagine the doors go up guy from Silicon Valley saying it.

if you like hemorrhoids content and also addled illiterate far right content boy have i got the account for you pic.twitter.com/x2wiLSjUlk

not defending stancil but he's the opposite of a milkshake duck, right? he's a full-time poster who is venturing into the real world, not a viral sensation whose fame sheds light on embarrassing and unsavory ideas/opinions.

I honestly kind of doubt there’s anything in his past that’s not in line with his current “liberal with hall-monitor energy” persona

he could milkshake duck by winning an election

Around 2003 in Chile, when the original trilogy of Star Wars began airing on television there, they did this funny thing to avoid cutting to commercial breaks. They stitched the commercials into the films themselves. Here is one of them, with the English dub added in. pic.twitter.com/wC7N2vPNvv

It's either fascist collaboration or not. Delete your account and disappear for good, don't minimise it.

You can join Bluesky without invitation. You can find me there. Staying on this Nazi-friendly platform is a form of collaboration and should be avoided or minimised.

nah, I think it’s a third thing

My post was arguing with the poster: if he thinks it's a form of collaboration then leave for good?

Personally, it's nothing like that.

What do you mean by leave for good? they’ve stopped posting except to say where you can find them now.

Delete the account.

now you’re just making up rules

When I move house I leave a forwarding address, even if I'm moving because the town has been bought by a nazi

lmao it’s ok to just like twitter, you don’t have to make up weird rules for people who don’t like twitter to follow.

I won't make up rules if he doesn't talk nonsense about people posting on there. And that account posts now and then BTW.

And we all know Bluesky is where people have gone. I can work that out thanks.

is yair wallach an ilxor

is yair wallach not an ilxor

think caek called this

just finished the zoe schiffer book. lots of new specific details but nothing surprising if you followed events.

quite a lot of the reporting in that (and the mossberg book apparently) is going to strengthen agrawal's case.

give us some details please

there's a named recurring character who goes on the record, just an IC, who i worked with. the full story of what happened to him is kind of nuts on a personal level but not globally significant. he was a musk fan and was excited about the acquisition. spent a couple of months sucking up before being fired for leaking. he was not leaking. couple of other interesting (to me) ICs on the record talking about how they ~~feel~~. the story about musk personally dismantling servers over christmas in sacramento was new to me, but i think it's lifted from the mossberg book and seems like a pretty self-serving thing for musk sources to lie about so i don't really believe it.

he was a musk fan and was excited about the acquisition. spent a couple of months sucking up before being fired for leaking. he was not leaking.

ah live and learn you know

i believe musk would go to the data center, hes a sleep at the factory guy

Ah okay, thanks!

the server relocation story has all of the classic bits: people not stopping rich guy from doing something that probably breaks a dozen facility rules and regulations because they can't tell him no, multiple laws involving data privacy being broken, safety just ignored, tweets about how other people were dumb to tell him it was a bad idea

and him admitting, mere weeks later, "we probably shouldn't have done that"

I assume a good portion of the servers were just toast by the time they made it up the coast, or needed so much reconfiguration that it was more of a time and money sink to do what he did than it would have been to do a planned transition
