Twitter C/D

As part of our ongoing effort to streamline our apps and provide a more consistent and up-to-date Twitter experience across platforms, we are no longer supporting the Twitter for Mac app.

On Friday February 16, we announced through @TwitterSupport that the app is no longer available for download, and starting March 16th will no longer be supported.

But, not to worry, for the full Twitter experience on your Mac, visit Twitter on web.

it's a perfect eulogy really. get the impression that he was the kind of guy who would probably describe his life's work in the same way and be pretty content with that.

For all the ways in which the Imposter Buster saga is unique, it’s also symptomatic of larger issues that have long bedeviled Twitter: abuse, the weaponizing of anonymity, bot wars, and slow-motion decision making by the people running a real-time platform. These problems have only intensified since Donald Trump became president and chose Twitter as his primary mouthpiece. The platform is now the world’s principal venue for politics and outrage, culture and conversation–the home for both #MAGA and #MeToo.

This status has helped improve the company’s fortunes. Daily usage is up a healthy 12% year over year, and Twitter reported its first-ever quarterly profit in February, capping a 12-month period during which its stock doubled. Although the company still seems unlikely ever to match Facebook’s scale and profitability, it’s not in danger of failing. The occasional cries from financial analysts for CEO Jack Dorsey to sell Twitter or from critics for him to shut it down look more and more out of step.

For context this is the dude who scammed his way on to the Young Labour Ethnic Minority board by arguing his father had dated a black woman and wrote this classic op-ed.

what a bizarre thread. he just does it again and again, with all manner of different things

lmao

he's clearly playing the long game

i want to start cataloging the immediate post-viral tweets like "holy shit i didn't know this would blow up / here's a link to my patreon / tip jar etc"

feel like there is a good market segment we could capture. sign up now at unexpectedlyviral.com

you get a pattern, identity protection service enrollment, and a brand manager (it’s lagoon)

pattern was meant to be patreon of course

a brand manager (it’s lagoon)

lol

excited about this new endeavor

kanye is tweeting video clips of his laptop playing the insane dilbert man's youtube clips

what the hell world is this

ah the natural progression from world famous critical darling pop star to regressive paranoid shit poster

I guess dilbert posted some video with kanye's name in the title and had some deep analysis and kanye's perpetually a sucker for paying attention to anyone talking about him

i vomited into my shirt

millennials vs. baby cannons

Boom

baby cannons are actually just regular cannons cut down to that size and shape

Wittes rules, sorry haters

Lmao poor fucker

No more airplane rides for you, Twitterman

buy inflight wifi, boom

deleted from my phone for the sake of sanity. and not allowing myself to look at it during work hours

i need to the same

*do

there is like... nothing of value there. it brings me no meaning or happiness. it is just noise that i feel compelled to tune into sometimes

I hate that thing where I randomly start to get invested in whatever the controversy du jour is. Makes me feel like such a mark.

i was tipped over the edge by a controversy over a passage in issa rae's 3 year old book when she says black women should date asian men - but not filipinos because they're the blacks of asia or something - which yeah obviously that's dumb as fuck and racist etc. but who the fuck cares? i certainly don't

you have to be judicious about what you choose to engage with! I gave up on trump news and outrage culture over a year ago and my life is better for it. there are lots of communities on twitter that make it worthwhile

feel like kanye going maga is the biggest clusterfuck in the history of the platform and is on a very deep level 100% caused by it
