@elonmusk I've owned bluecheck.com since 1999. Time to cash out! 😎🤑💰Distressed property. Interested? You could own the "Official Blue Check" domain and keep it away from scammers. (That's not me, but I can't control what a buyer does.) #TwitterBlue #ElonMusk

@jonni_walker I'm making a map of Puget Sound (Seattle), but the satellite imagery of the water is 💩. There are weird glitches around bays. Any suggestions, other than a big flat tint over the water?

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?" As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

If anyone has tips or suggestions, please chime in! Perhaps I'll run an "Official Bluecheck Lettuce Cam" in the meantime.🙃

I'll probably put Bluecheck.com up for auction unless @elonmusk steps in. This is too good of a domain to stay parked forever. I just hope that whoever buys it uses "Official Bluecheck" for good, not evil. #domainsforsale

I'd like to auction this off, but it could get bought up by some scammers. A third-party website at bluecheck.com could be used for good or evil. Eeep.

Weird but true: I'm "Bluecheck Official." I registered the domain name bluecheck.com from a project over twenty years ago. I've never done anything with it. Any thoughts? Maybe a Lettuce Cam for fun? #bluecheck #Twittershutdown #domains

@premiumbusiness Would Twitter have any interest? Completely serious. I'm also happy to consider offers from third parties. #verified #TwitterBlue

@Jason A weird, random fact: I'm the owner of the original domain bluecheck.com. I registered it in 1999 for a software product that I was developing but never finished. It's lonely and needs a better owner. All serious offers considered! 🤑🤑🤑#bluecheck

How much would you pay to be verified & get a blue check mark on Twitter?

@elonmusk I'm the inventor of the Blue Check! True fact: I registered the domain bluecheck.com around in 1999 for a software product I never finished. It's been unused and lonely ever since. 😢Available for sale on reasonable terms. Interested? HMU.

@WbtphdjdTurner @Fahrenthold Just curious... I noticed your comment... What do you mean? Yes, there is more than one fraudulent nonprofit out there.... Is that a "tears of joy" thing?

@Fahrenthold Great article! Please check your "report charity fraud" inbox.

@TruistNews "Uniting NC, Inc." is a questionable nonprofit that might -- or might not -- be defrauding its corporate partners and donors. Uniting NC claims that "BB&T" is a current sponsor of its activities. Is this a correct statement of fact? Is BB&T sponsoring Uniting NC?

I talked to a YT Rep this week & they said the most popular Education YT channels make sub 3min videos with less code & more animations & Sell Merch! I clearly don’t know how to make YT videos anymore

What’s the one thing you never expected to take so much of your time as a programmer?

Loving your blog post about labels, too! For the final example, do you have a natural POI layer for each line of text with icon? Is it more or less efficient to do complex typography in #Mapbox vs HTML? Does adding layers stress the rendering engine? mapbox.com/blog/outdoor-c…

Also, could you please consider a blog post on your light experiments? Your effects are amazing!

@jonni_walker @Mapbox: Love your blog posts (and YouTube webinar) about how to design gorgeous 3D #maps with #MapBox! 😍 More info please about how you created the "beam of light" sky layer and the water reflection? Beautiful! mapbox.com/blog/wrap-labe…
