not that hopeful
SheldonLest anyone doubt that Twitter was idiotic enough to release code that would cause a race condition and result in its own users executing a DDOS attack on it, here's the network console readout from Firefox showing all the network requests blasting away.
Of course I immediately closed out my connection because I'm a good person.
...but wait! It's the weekend and Evil Sheldon is in control so I kept the party going for a while since Twitter insisted on it.

Sapphic LawyerHey new followers, especially followers in the legal profession, got something serious to talk about for a sec.
The US is getting extremely scary for trans people. New laws are being proposed and passed to criminalize our existence at a terrifying pace. This stress takes a toll on us, and it's a lot more taxing on me personally than I let show here.
Please speak up for trans people whenever and wherever you can. Don't leave us by ourselves while we're under attack.
Peter SterneThe New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CNN and Associated Press have all posted guides to using Mastodon, which in turn have been syndicated by numerous local news outlets. That matters. We're rapidly approaching a situation where the media will refer to things happening "on Mastodon" the way they referred to Twitter in, say, 2013.
austerity is theftjust want to get the sequence right, and caution why post dot news is a dead end

Overall I love the new Mario Kart 8 DX tracks but it's a shame that because they are all made for Tour too that they don't feel like Mario Kart 8 tracks. What made MK8 tracks was that even the retro remakes changed track angles in ways that defied gravity.
Molly Whitemaybe twitter's URL censoring is so easily circumvented because all the software engineers still there are desperately trying to keep their lines of code metrics as high as possible
Tony WebsterCNN, WaPo, NYT journalists' accounts were restored. The Intercept and independent journalists were not. We've gotten the worst of it all: the criticism of being the “mainstream media” but without the backing or protection of being the “mainstream media.”
