Well, it was a fun 8 years, & two years before that with a previous account. But all good things must come to an end. So from midnight this is sayonara. I hope a few of you learned something. As for the rest of you, I'm sure you'll find someone else to hate-tweet at soon enough.— Andrew Lilico (@andrew_lilico) July 10, 2023

He'll be back as soon as he finds out that his steaming hot takes are of no interest elsewhere.Not that Lolico was ever that big a deal on Twitter, cunts of that magnitude can usually do better than a paltry 40k followers.

yeah that's been happenng for a while--when Obamacare was implemented right wingers started to get into "alternatve medicine" and the backyard chickens/organic/veggie lifestyle, as if anything substantively changed about the US health care system other than a few more people could afford it.

Not getting any "Top" results at all in searches. Just "Latest."

ums posted in the Jeopardy thread about Ken Jennings crossing the WGA picket line, so I thought I'd see what ppl on Twitter were saying about it. But the search appears to be truly fucked, like "No results for 'Ken jennings'" fucked. Searching for info on Reddit instead (by appending "reddit" to a Google search) was much more fruitful.

Article has many hundreds of words detailing the usual practices around mergers, and a great deal of context concerning that pareticular one. It is perhaps not as much "technical" so much as very very detailed and specific. In sum:
Anyway now Musk owns Twitter, after paying $44 billion for it, and he is using it to talk about the size of his penis. These facts are also related.

mods were slow to catch and ban a poster whose screen name and content consisted of slurs and deliberately violent hostility, and also slow and also undeft delivering a solution (= a banned-words list for screen names)
