@mypalmike @kkarhan @goldengateblond Fair. I'm certain many of you aren't enjoying watching Musk torch something you put a lot of work into.
@marcelias don't rule out malice masquerading as stupidity. Twitter was a critical organizing tool gor BLM, unions in places like St*rbucks, and several other progressive movements around the world.
@kkarhan @goldengateblond the former employees didn't light the match, but they're certainly enjoying watching the Emperor of Mars fail and burn it down.
@Pwnallthethings So the Emperor of Mars decided to limit the ability to view things on a website that derives most of its revenue from advertisers who pay to have users view them. 😀 Business genius!
@melbeeing same. Irritating limits will finally kill Twitter I think.
@WFKARS 👍

"This digital feudalism is cloaked in the language of care and safety. The owners of these walled gardens insist that they are benevolent patriarchs who have built fortresses to defend us from external threats, but inevitably they are revealed as warlords who have built prisons to keep us from escaping from them"

Imagine you are a Black man with a wife and 2 kids living in the Bronx. You and your wife both earn minimum wage. You've never been arrested, never committed a crime, don't do drugs, never been in a gang.

One day, you're arrested and falsely accused of a crime. You're sent to Rikers. There is definitive proof that you were somewhere else at the time of the crime. DA says they're going to charge you. You can't afford bail, or an attorney.

You'll be in jail for up to *2 years* prior to trial.

History made: 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈Scotland becomes the first constituent country of the UK to adopt a system of ‘self-ID’ and the reversal of the medicalisation of gender recognition.
