Twitter C/D

Crazy that no one has heard of this film

🐦[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.

This is not a thing.

I see no reason to believe anything in that thread.

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

“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…

I'm sure it's a coincidence the assholes at the Daily Wire wanted to do this the first day of Pride month.

Wow, Twitter’s head of trust and safety is out for a second time. https://t.co/xudakVQ9uh

dang, Sheila

Ready for the Twitter World

NEW: Twitter’s head of brand safety and ad quality has resigned. Could be related to some changes in Twitter’s ad policy which I’ll share shortly.

So what exactly is Jack’s role In BlueSky?

So what exactly is Jack’s role In BlueSky?

is Jack an anti-vaxxer? bc I am not sure what the argument for RFK Jr. is otherwise.

Jack Dorsey endorses fellow Bitcoin advocate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for president

He’s on the record with some extremely weird health beliefs but I’m not sure if he’s previously said anything public about vaccination xp

Elon’s lawyers just told a federal judge the “Twitter Files” were all a big lie, nothing more than a marketing campaign to appeal to the lowest common denominator https://t.co/c8bxqYF6tx

I need someone to figure out who is making all these ad tweets sponsored by a one-word company that sounds bogus with a single video clip showing the product

3/4 of the ads I’m getting are from Florp selling foam pool accessories

USERS: you're alienating the people who actually use your product
TWITTER: likes are now florps
USERS: what
TWITTER: timeline goes sideways

most unique advertiser name today: buppeelite, selling a phone mount for your car dashboard that looks somewhat dangerous

he's actually going to remove the block feature lmao pic.twitter.com/aI7hWJY8df

With nearly all ads I see featuring a similar logo in the profile image, I wonder if most of them are primarily one crappy company trying to find different letter combinations to get around blocks

It's good because it stops the troll interacting with the tweet — they can't so easily QT or RT and bring their unblocked followers to the pile-on.

Ah that's true. Fuck Musk after all.

i block all advertisers i see courtesy of the teachings of lag00n, i wonder if elon sees that in the stats and wants to show more ads

yeah, I always thought the ability to block advertisers was going to go away eventually. I also wonder if Elon is still mad that about the Block the Blue stuff.

Lol I get an error “preloader canceled” when trying to open web Twitter in Safari.

1. Install Blue Blocker

2. Go to this search results page: https://t.co/ZvEKcywLhx

3: Press F12. Paste this in console:
setInterval(() => {window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);}, 1000)

4: Wait for ~2000 users queued

5: Close the tab and go about your day

Cox said the company already has celebrities committed to using the app, including DJ Slime, and was in discussions with other big names, including Oprah and the Dalai Lama.

Tim Heidecker just deleted his account live on Office Hours, can't say there's much reason to stay anymore

My twitter account remains successfully locked down on my desktop, but the second an unblockable Musk pops into view is the moment my casual user experience comes to an end.

lol i have been enjoying all of the Baby Gronk/Drip King stuff.

icymi, Max interviewed the guy from the original TikToks: https://maxread.substack.com/p/who-is-the-new-drip-king-a-conversation

I haven't actually scrolled Twitter in a few weeks, and I'm not on TikTok, but I do subscribe to a few newsletters that focus on internet content, like Today in Tabs and Garbage Day, and it's a good way to keep up with discourse/memes.

in awe of this man

Some people are watching these videos sincerely, but you're not necessarily making them sincerely.

I guess the way I feel, like, I don't care, really, what Baby Gronk does with his life, or, what Livvy does with her life. I'm not sitting on my edge of my seat to see what school Baby Gronk tours next. And I think a reason people get so angry about it is because I'm so serious in my videos, and I talk in a tone and I don't blink in my videos, either. So people are like Bro, I think he’s A.I.-generated. That all comes back to my lacrosse videos, because when I first made those people were like, You never blink.

Do you lean into that stuff now? Like if you if you've made a video where you blink, you would redo it?

Yes, yeah, I make sure I do all the things that piss people off.
