@casseagull Brutal!

Kraken can no longer offer Canadians services relating to Tether and some wrapped crypto products...

"At this time, we are required to suspend deposits, withdrawals and trading in Canada across all trading platforms for Tether (USDT), Dai (DAI), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), Wrapped Ether (WETH), and Wrapped Axelar (WAXL)."

“It’s disgusting, it’s what’s disgusting about Washington,” says Rep. Garret Graves (R-#Louisiana) about Republican colleagues immediately sending out fundraising text messages and e-mails about their support of the motion to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
@BennettTomlin You might want to reply to @SamRitholtz over at the old site.
@nickmartin Fine, but the users make the product, not the platform.
@nickmartin Meh, I’m no Zuckerberg fan, but it has fewer early flaws than this site had. It will be the go-to Twitter replacement.
There are so many ways to break a website and by the time he is done Elon will have personally overseen all of them

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.
