This new "if you pay, you can post 4000-character tweets" thing is just mind-bogglingly stupid. Like, how much would you be willing to pay to demonstrate your fundamental misunderstanding of the platform you're on?

sheesh what do you know "The Twitter Files" apparently omitted the fact that Trump was constantly asking them to take things down and that Twitter themselves kept changing their own policies so Trump wouldn't be found in violation. where's Taibbi on this????

they have given the twitter files over to Michael Shellenberger who continues to try to be someone of importance

Saw a rumor that Twitter had cut off its own API access, which would be fantastic.

The fact that scheduled tweets *do* work supports the rumor.

lol twitter turned off the API and didn't realize that the website and apps are all connected and now, they are probably finding they can't turn it back on— Rev. Poppy Haze (@poppy_haze) February 8, 2023

All going great over there!
The San Francisco headquarters, whose landlord has sued Twitter for nonpayment of rent, has a melancholy air. When people pass each other in the halls, we’re told that the standard greeting is “where are you interviewing?” and “where do you have offers?” The eighth floor is still stocked with beds, and employees have to reserve them in advance. “Most weeknights, they are fully booked,” another current employee said.The perks that made Twitter an attractive place to work pre-Musk have been eradicated. Food at the office? “Sucks — and now we have to pay for it. And, I know this sounds petty, but they appear to have obtained the absolute worst coffee vendors on earth.”

I maybe mentioned way upthread but I was in the headquarters once pre-pandemic for a small gathering (perhaps an awards ceremony?) of local tech groups working in outreach to those without access and the like -- met and chatted with Brewster Kahle for a bit, that was kinda fun -- and it was a pretty cozy setup in the meeting area we were at some floors up: well stocked bar, comfy seats inside and out, good vibes. My guess is the place is completely rotted and dusty at best now.

In case you need proof that view counts on Twitter aren’t accurate:I have a locked, private account with ZERO followers for reporting purposes. I just posted these two tweets. Check the view counts.

Rolling Stone thinks we should feel sympathy for catturd.

I don’t get that from the article, I think it makes its point about what happens to radicalised people fairly well.

Well it tells you about his life and it ends on a sad note. Not that I feel anything.
Musk acting as catturd's tech support is one of the most bizarre things I've seen on twitter.

crafting your social persona for years among the dorks who frequent the comment section on beetbort only to take the show on the road (twitter is the road) when the opportunity presents itself isn't exactly a pattern foreign to large swaths of people on the internet

catturd2 is sad and lame so reading about him and his whole scene might make one a lil sad

its so low qual absolute bottom shelf cat shit
leaning that hard into an intentionally dumb brand makes him memorable
you can list a bunch of right wing doofuses and eventually I'm not going to remember who did what, like are they the angry virgin guy who runs a republican student org or some thiel-adjacent shitbag who tries to make things more libertarian? who knows. cat turd? we know which guy that is

remember joe the plumber he was concerned about the taxes he would pay when he became rich
― lag∞n, Friday, 10 February 2023 16:24 (one year ago) link
I think he flamed out in 2014 when he wrote an open letter to the families of the Isla Vista victims that said, "Your dead kids don't trump my rights."

yea I think the thing cat turd gets, or maybe was lucky enough to stumble into, is the fact that modern day conservatism is anchored around the idea of feigning total idiocy towards everything. present yourself as the stupidest person alive and you're free to say whatever you want and no one will hold you to task when you're constantly wrong. who's even gonna argue with a dude who posts poop jokes all day? I think Tucker understands this, MTG and Bobo certainly do, probably Trump as well. it's the folks who try to have some sort of consistent ideology or actually try to use logic to prove their points who are constantly getting dunked on. as the article mentions with Kinzinger if you're a Republican who tries to acknowledge basic reality you wind up out of the party real fast.
