Can’t wait for the Supreme Court to rule in the opposite direction when it’s a Muslim stadium worker who doesn’t want to be around hot dogs and beer for religious reasons.

Most people didn’t care when they came for trans people
“Doesn’t effect me”
Almost half of people didn’t care when they overturned Roe
“Doesn’t effect me”
Now they’re coming for birth control.
So where is the line? When will it finally effect enough people so they stand up?

This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.
The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.
In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.
The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.
This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.
Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.
