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.

Supreme Court Sides With Postal Carrier Who Refused to Work on Sabbath

The unanimous decision interpreted a federal civil rights law to require employers to make substantial efforts to accommodate their workers’ religious practices.

So Twitter is now treating me like I'm a bot!

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?

It still blows my mind that the last “Bovril Boats” didn’t stop operating in the Thames until 1998. ***1998*** ! Their job was to take Lordon’s sewage down the Thames from Beckton and to dump it into the North Sea (but oh, on the ebb tide, so that was ok). Dumping anything in the ocean is an admission that our systems on land have failed, but in this case it was failure by design. We cannot continue to treat the ocean like this. #ocean #sewage
The morning beatings will continue until the commencement of the afternoon beatings. Pay $8 to skip the morning beatings and proceed directly to the afternoon beatings.

How to be An Genius:

1. Pay $44bn for a site worth 1/2 that
2. Sack everyone who knows how it works
3. Release far-right troll army
4. Turn genuine validation into a badge of idiocy
5. Kill most of your ad revenue
6. Inflate API price to recoup money
7. Everyone stops using API and scrapes site instead
8. Massively limit the service to end scraping
9. Service is now unusable
10. Remaining advertising value destroyed
11. Kill a cornerstone of the internet
12. Lose $44bn

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.

There are so many ways to break a website and by the time he is done Elon will have personally overseen all of them
