So long, and thanks for all the fish

Welp, this is the final nail in the coffin. Even if the official twitter client wasn't a cesspool of bad UI and toxic recs, I'm not going to support a service that tries to gaslights the app developers that made it a successful ecosystem. theverge.com/2023/1/19/2356…

holy fucking shit, Al Franken posed for a stupid photo and Democrats forced him to resign. George Santos is a fucking felony factory and Republicans rewarded him with prime committee assignments. maybe it's just me but this is just fucking nuts

Although she’s not the girl for me, “Stacy” is now older then her “Mom” was when the @fountainsofwayn video was filmed. youtu.be/dZLfasMPOU4

On two different devices, @Twitteriffic just stopped working and can no longer “Sign in with Twitter” Perchance thE MUSKrat just silently killed third party client support? Anyone else successfully still using a third-party client? @bestofdyingtwit ?

“The web devs tell me that fuckit's versioning scheme is confusing, and that I should use "Semitic Versioning" instead. So starting with fuckit version ה.ג.א, package versions will use Hebrew Numerals.”

@lindsaybebout I’m no Swifty, but isn’t she saying her cat - who happens to be named Karma - is her boyfriend? How is that not you?

When Taylor Swift said, “Karma is a cat, purring in my lap because it loves me,” I felt that. When Taylor Swift said, “Karma is my boyfriend,” I did not feel that.

Why hasn’t this clown been arrested yet for impersonating a member of the US House of Representatives? newrepublic.com/post/169809/ge…

U.S.C. 18 §912 “Whoever falsely assumes or pretends to be an officer or employee acting under the authority of the United States or any department, agency or officer thereof, and acts as such, … shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”

He lied about being gay, lied about his marriage, lied about his divorce, lied about his career, lied about his mother's death, lied about his dead mother's faith, and lied to the Church that buried his mother. The GOP says trust us, he's a Republican. cbsnews.com/news/george-sa…

Matt Taibbi, December 7, 2021. A year before Elon Musk hands him "The Twitter Files." "Once you start getting handed things, then you've lost. They have you at that point and you gotta get out of that habit. You just can't cross that line."

@petdance There was only about ~ 100GB of data that anyone felt like copying, so they either grabbed a floppy or posted it to alt.mind.your.own.biz

Even if Elon “Pedo-Guy” Musk resigns tomorrow, he will still have lasted 5 days longer then Liz Truss.

“Twitter is arguably no longer even a business. It is now property”

IMPORTANT: @elonmusk's new policy preventing linking to competitors is in DIRECT VIOLATION of European Union rules. Penalty can be a fine of up to 20% of Twitter's annual revenue #what-will-be-the-consequences-of-non-compliance" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-p…

Twitter TOS: • don’t hurt Elon’s feelings

Just when you think you’re fully cured, and no longer have a problem, because it’s been years since you slipped - that’s when you get complacent and run ‘shutdown -r now’ in the wrong terminal.

There is a nuance to Elon’s “Management Ethos” that I think people frequently misunderstand … Perception: “The beatings will continue until morale improves.” Reality: “The beatings will resume once morale improves.”

If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared - not because any of us ever harmed you but because you find it useful - then don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows. Don’t you dare act surprised.
