How quickly Musk-run Twitter has crashed and burned is the obvious story

But given what we now know about Jack Dorsey’s personal views… it’s actually a surprise that Twitter was as comparatively decent as a company while he ran it!

Call me old-fashioned, but you should be able to ring a doorbell, get in the wrong car in a parking lot, or drive down the wrong driveway without getting shot at, injured or killed.
UPDATE: A Black teen Ralph Yarl was shot TWICE—in the head AND chest—by a white 84-year-old man, after ringing the doorbell at the wrong house to pick up his siblings. When is it self-defense to shoot someone in the head who rings your doorbell? Let me guess. When you're white and they're Black. Lester HAS been charged.

A teenager was shot by a homeowner after going to the wrong house to pick up siblings, Kansas City police say — CNN

Protesters took to the streets after a homeowner shot and wounded teenager Ralph Yarl, who had mistakenly gone to the wrong home to pick up his siblings in Kansas City, Missouri, police said Sunday.

Once again, I'm reminded of how much the billionaire space race has absolutely destroyed my love of rockets.

10 years ago, I definitely would have been paying close attention to the current giant SpaceX launch. But because I know it's going to be used to launch hundreds of unregulated, unsafe, polluting, for-profit Starlink satellites at once, I just can't look.

Instead of being excited and awestruck by a new gigantic rocket launch, it just makes me want to puke.

The GOP has yet to realize that running on an anti-abortion, pro-gun, anti-vaccine, pro book ban, anti-trans, pro-Russia platform isn’t going to win over new voters. It’s going to bring ruin upon their party.

And they will have deserved it.

Here in Britain, we regularly eat the leftovers of a sea that came and went 220 million years ago, when the first dinosaurs were just getting started. More than half of our salt (57%) is mined from Middlewich in Cheshire, which was sitting in the tropics (15 N) in the middle of an arid desert. The shallow basin flooded & dried up repeatedly, leaving a thick layer of salt that’s still there today. Edible rock is a bit weird, but enjoy putting it on your chips!  #ocean #salt

After 13 years, #Twitter has made certain you won't be able to see a tweet on #Flipboard ever again.

Today Twitter turned off their API integration without regard for Twitter users who enjoyed seeing tweets on their Flipboard.

While Twitter is enabling payment for some API access, the approach they've taken is prohibitively expensive, unreliable and frankly untrustworthy. I can't imagine us or anyone else ever relying on Twitter again for anything.

Hello Fediverse. Good bye walled gardens.

We’ve had four years of the Government telling us it will deliver 20,000 “more” police officers and now it admits it’s actually only 4,000 more than we had in 2010 - and that’s just part of the story. Practically everything this Government says is boll****

One piece of slang that has long embodied the short attention span Internet age is TL;DR, short for “too long; didn’t read.” With the explosion of generative AI tools, we’re rapidly entering the age of TL;DW: “too long, didn’t write.” A January survey from Fishbowl found that 40% of nearly 12,000 workers have used ChatGPT
