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

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.

I Think You Should Leave sketches in real life

people very concerned who gets rizzed up

rizz is life life is rizz

yo is it tru lizzy got rizzed up by a wite kid after a tiktok beef?

show some respect for the new Drip King

i cannot believe i now know what this is about i blame max

This kid’s dad has DM’d LITERALLY every single professional sports account I’ve ever worked on 10+ times. Sometimes hundreds. Sports Illustrated, XFL, Barstool begging to be posted.

It’s the saddest case of vicariously living through a kid I’ve ever seen. Hope it works out. https://t.co/wjGOs0nFgP

Ugh

Livvy not the only one rizzing this kid up

honestly, he may very well end up getting a football scholarship, but that alone doesn't make him the new drip king

I assumed this was actually Rob Gronkowski Jr. and not some random kid lol

rando gronk

there are many Rob Gronkowski Jrs, so it doesn't really narrow it down much

It rules that twitter ads are now for things that are a felony charge to possess. https://t.co/fVbn3panYu

I got an ad for a steel retractable murder weapon, which apparently is also quite useful for hikers who are 4ft tall (it's way too short to function as a walking stick) so it's mainly for people with ideas of bludgeoning someone to death.

yeah i keep getting that one too, it looks pretty fucking lethal

Re: Baby Gronk - projecting a football prospect prior to puberty and, you know, knowing how big the kid is going to be, is ridiculous

Especially in the analytics/combine era, your being in the NFL is determined by meeting a very defined set of physical attributes and physical performance measurements. There are exceptions but they are definitely not the norm.

The fact that he rizzed up Livvy is going to be a key factor at draft time.

no, he was rizzed up BY Livvy, big difference

My people are telling me the rizzing was mutual.

bay…. bee GRONK da da da-da da da, baby GRONK da da da-da da da baby GRONK da da da-da da da bay-bee groooooonk
