This is my last tweet on Twitter. It's been so many years, and it hurts to see it falling apart but I've also been having a blast on the #fediverse. Come join us! Find me @iros@vis.social or elsewhere: linktr.ee/ireneros.

@Jeopardamy We were in tears, literally. Just cried right into our dinner. You are an inspiration and a gift to humanity. So deeply excited about your win!!!!! ♥️

Ok, thanks everyone, that was really fun! Sorry if i didn't get to your question, let's do this again sometime! #JeopardyAmyChat

Ok, here we go! #JeopardyAmyChat

Some good advice for quitting twitter: - get a backup of your data. I haven't been able to get mine but you should request it. I'm sure that service is overloaded. - leave a final tweet with where you can be found next. - disable, don't delete your account, to keep your handle.

@nrchtct So helpful! Though everyone is so scattered about!

@JanWillemTulp @elonmusk Thanks, Jan! Just applied.

@ireneros @elonmusk Join vis.social ! Lots of folks there

Is everyone's feed just crypto bros and horrifying MAGA people? I'm seeing literally nothing of value. I guess @elonmusk just wants to recreate truth social but on here...? It's sad to watch this die. If you're still here, thanks for many years of whatever this used to be.

@LBacaj What you're forgetting is that we engineers are humans. That the problems we care about sometimes have nothing to do with tech but everything to do with other humans. I've been in this field for over 20 years and I couldn't care less about tech. Artists don't care about brushes.

9 uncomfortable truths about engineering and tech right now. How Twitter might play out, the ramifications, and what Elon’s calculus might be. Disclaimer: Don’t shoot the messenger. I’m relaying observations through a lens of engineering for over a decade & managing engineers.

@AOC Hard cold truth. 🔥

If only we had taxed the rich maybe none of this would have happened

Since Twitter is about to die imminently, where are folks congregating? Please share your favorite virtual town squares.

Let’s talk about the legal problems Elon just created for himself with this cruel new staff email. You’re fired if you don’t commit to long hours at high intensity within 24 hours? Let’s start with disabled workers.

Thinking about grad school next year? Interested in visualization, machine learning interpretability, or human/AI interaction? Consider Harvard. @viegasf and I are continuing to build our lab!

@MattWallace888 Nope

Should Elon Musk let Donald Trump back on Twitter?

Tech layoffs affect immigrants the most! 5–15% of the 100k+ layoffs are H-1B holders. In 60 days (30-45 in practice), they must find a new job or be deported from the US. Families who've been here 10+yrs are told "We don't need you anymore. Leave." 10+ tips to stay– 1/12

I just finished testifying against SB 454 in Columbus. Thanks to @EqualityOhio for asking me here; whatever the outcome of this bill, I’m glad to have had the chance to stand up for the safety of trans youth

@craigmod @ScottinMarin @elonmusk Most startups have no impact yet, so it really doesn't matter. Twitter does. Not to say iteration is bad, it's great as a standalone concept. Just maybe not when it's driven by a dude who hasn't experienced the real world the way most people do or would suffer from his decisions.

Comedy is now legal on Twitter

Some great ways to help the women of Iran, fighting for their rights and freedom. docs.google.com/document/u/0/d… #IranRevoIution2022

A lot of folks seem to be really mad about this paper: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. These folks at BU have synthesized a COVID variant that combined the deadliness of the origin variant with the spreadability of Omicron. Can someone who knows more share their sentiment on this?

@zcos302 @duolingo I'm not a subscriber. Everything seems capped at 30xp, which just makes it impossible to move up in this league. It's ridiculous that they haven't fixed it. If it's an experiment, it needs to stop.

@duolingo your scoring seems completely broken... With an xp boost crowns are suddenly worth only 30xp and the total isn't updating on the leaderboard.
