correct analysis:

"the ratio," in the classic sense, is a worn out cliche but ever since they started counting quote tweets youre now capable of seeing a whole new form of it pic.twitter.com/r8h0yvgyad

also correct (from Billy Budd, Sailor):
"Now there can exist no irritating juxtaposition of dissimilar personalities comparable to that which is possible aboard a great war-ship fully manned and at sea. There, every day among all ranks almost every man comes into more or less of contact with almost every other man. Wholly there to avoid even the sight of an aggravating object one must needs give it Jonah's toss or jump overboard himself. Imagine how all this might eventually operate on some peculiar human creature the direct reverse of a saint?"

wow my twitter followers have tripled in the last few months to 66 and what a result today. I just got notified that The Wankford Way has followed me back!

lol

a stranger followed me recently and then gave me an excellent mask recommendation

wonderful website

i met one of my academic co-authors on twitter, and a couple of my current best friends

it's my only way to stay on top of hoos' hairstyles

I met many of my curviest friends there

I went out to a bar with a friend of a friend who is very active on Twitter and he had two “twitter friends” in tow and my god was it awful.

It’s weird to see actual human beings mimic a format. Like all snide, ironic quips that only they would laugh at.

ive met ppl like that, i agree they are lame. all my mufos ive met up with are not like that, and are cool

"heartbreaking" is trending on twitter; not for any one story but for like ten different stories.

Fucking HELL I'm rarely on Twitter and it's pointless enough not to really wind me up but this RS Archer Brexit shit is back once again - I thought he'd deleted his account - it's really pushing my buttons due to how utterly shit it is, not even good trolling, just fucking tedious and smug beyond belief with the O Gods and lol shoes agh I hate it

Classic. As is Bitcoin.

posts that haunt me

just got this NYT alert:

"The twitter accounts of several prominent figures appears to have been hacked - including Joe Biden, Kanye West, Bill Gates and Elon Musk"

would this be a hack into twitter's database? how else would you get into so many different people's accounts?

Within hours of the tweets appearing, nearly 300 people had fallen for the scam, sending more than $100,000 to the wallet.

Feel like this must be some exploit because all those people are going to have security on their accounts right? It’s not like lifting some pleb’s details off a database.

Either way, it's kind of impressive tbh.

We are aware of a security incident impacting accounts on Twitter. We are investigating and taking steps to fix it. We will update everyone shortly.

They’re still getting away with it. Kim Kardashian hacked three minutes ago.

Strongly speculated that they’ve hacked a Twitter employee with access to whole account database.

Idk why they don’t just take the site down until they’ve fixed it.

The theory I saw that seemed plausible is someone hijacked a service authorized to tweet on behalf of users, eg people used a 3rd party app to schedule tweets, and that app got hacked.

Twitter itself being compromised is less likely, but not out of the question.

Yeah as others have pointed out, this would be a good time to bring back the whale.

sending more than $100,000 to the wallet

Even if that sum has doubled by now, doesn't seem like it was worth it.

All verified accounts banned from posting.

admiration creeping higher

All verified accounts banned from posting.

finally

ok so twitter can just freeze all the verified accounts at once but when someone says my yard looks like shit theyre Suddenl;y powerless...

what a disaster for The Discourse

The Dis-course at last.

The Kim Kardashian tweet was posted via the web app. It’s still up!

FYI what they seem to have done is made their api reject posts to verified accounts as spam, they don’t actually have a “mute everyone” function

And by “seem to” I mean I have heard from people in a position to know

I lolled

Still seems fishy to me that no prominent GOPers got hit with this.

Fascinated to know if anything got done in the White House during that period

honestly i'm surprised they only got this much
