Twitter C/D

tho we said that about Trump too

okay, i got through it. i will say that i am amazed that, by the end, i found myself rooting for and eagerly anticipating the FIFTH time they reused the same clips of an airboat speeding through florida swamps followed by elon musk using a flamethrower. however, they only used the clips four times, over the course of 3 and a half minutes, so i was disappointed

Twitter appears to be removing the video view count metric, but Android users still see it in their version of the app

the Ron DeSantis campaign is fudging their view count numbers by more than double the amount https://t.co/aM1SNMVTHt pic.twitter.com/x3nHcoVdxq

why is elon musk in the video so, so, so much? it's bizarre

donations bruv

ron desantis

you might be wondering why i included that image of ron desantis commandeering an airboat. it's in there because he was thinking only of elon musk as he did it

his speech, which sounds like a 32kbps voice memo, doesn't even mention Elon, and yet Elon is in the video more than Ron is. the whole thing is so unfathomably bizarre, too weird to even be an AI thing, it's practically an On Cinema bit

hate to hand it to Morning Joe but this was pretty funny in response to the claim that Ron's announcement was "so big it broke the internet"

xpost "When you have ads like with Elon Musk in them"

hello, i was wondering if somebody more online than me could tell me if this thread is a joke or not

If you are a fan of Taylor who falls into a marginalized group more intimately impacted by this I would be happy and honored to hear from you.

Thanks for listening & for letting me be human. Sequined romper pictures coming soon! pic.twitter.com/kXIo5DuXMA

sorry i posted the last tweet only but am referring to the whole thread

It's parody; all the text comes from a much longer tweet thread posted by an ultra-earnest white lady (who runs some kind of culty church?) crying about how it's Bad that Taylor Swift is dating (or so people seem to believe) the singer from The 1975, who is Very Bad because he made racist jokes on a podcast, or something. But she's still gonna go to the Taylor Swift concert, even though she is Conflicted.

its a goof on this thread

Before I leave for NYC, here is my thread on seeing Taylor this weekend while she is dating a racist, Islamophobic, anti-semitic overall problematic white man. While I don't necessarily "owe" anyone this thread, it is important to me to take my public leadership seriously.

taylor swift fans are out of control

the upside is that i am listening to the 1975

ew

the whole thing made me like matty healy a little bit more, until i remembered who he was dating

full circle

taylor swift dating matty healy is hannah arendt dating martin heidegger (also MH) for people whose Lacan getting expelled from the IPA is tati westbrook’s “breaking my silence” video

also mh 🤨

The Healy Nazi salute thing is literally a plot element from the tv show The Chair

really hate that i understood every word of that tweet :/

lol

lmao someone figured out how to get priority over the blue checks

new twitter meta just dropped:
- tag gold check customer support bot in your reply
- the bot autoreplies
- gold check > blue check
- your reply appears above all the blue check replies https://t.co/ej3nLzE8Bc

haa

a simple appeal to the platinum check support friend will demote the gold checks

Fascinating. Apparently somebody at Twitter still cares at least marginally about not abusing trans folks? I bet whoever it is will be gone by the end of the day and Matt Walsh's hateful film will be given full exposure.

Twitter canceled a deal with @realdailywire to premiere What is a Woman? for free on the platform because of two instances of “misgendering.”

I’m not kidding.

Here's what happened:🧵1/16

Probably Musk got cold feet for whatever reason at the last minute (or found out Walsh said something mean about him). The fact that Twitter even made the offer, I stand by my assertion that he wants to make Twitter an explicitly pro-right wing space.

Yeah that does seem to be his goal, de facto or otherwise.

4/16 Twitter responded with enthusiasm and offered us the opportunity to buy a package to host the movie on a dedicated event page and to promote the event to every Twitter user over the first 10 hours.

— Jeremy Boreing (@JeremyDBoreing) June 1, 2023

This is not a thing.

I see no reason to believe anything in that thread.

seems like bullshit to me

I will say that I've recently reported a few people replying in a way that's threatening to trans people, albeit very publicly and not subtly, and they've been banned

11/16 Of course, saying “you have the right to speak, but we'll make sure no one hears you” is a bit like saying “you have the right to cast a vote, but we'll make sure it isn't counted.” That's not a right at all!

Constitutional scholar here

Crazy that no one has heard of this film

Haha apparently this film has been free to watch for a year

The goal here is presumably to get musk to tweet about it, which will probably work because he’s a moron

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Is_a_Woman%3F

“The film was released to subscribers to The Daily Wire website on June 1, 2022, at the beginning of Pride Month.”

god its so funny how much these idiots bend over backwards to appease the right only to wind up pissing them off for the dumbest possible reasons

yeah the right are such psychos that its really not smart to engage with them theyll shank you every time

this post isn't even calling out anyone specific yet the paid blue checks are losing their minds in the replies https://t.co/hEQyKftQGp

If a Nazi dresses like a Nazi in the forest, and no one is around to see them, are they still a Nazi?

Actually lots of funny responses (on both sides!) in there, from blue checks and no checks alike. "That's why we stood at the table." "Is the same true for communists? Only if they split the bill." etc.

Just as expected:

This was a mistake by many people at Twitter. It is definitely allowed.

Whether or not you agree with using someone’s preferred pronouns, not doing so is at most rude and certainly breaks no laws.

I should note that I do personally use someone’s preferred pronouns, just as I…
