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.

Marx’s ideas led straight to some of the worst tyrannies and bloodthirsty regimes of the 20th century. He endorsed the use of terrorism and violence, something that monsters like Lenin and psychopaths like Stalin and Mao knew. That is what remains relevant today. https://twitter.com/jacobin/status/1654450299346534406

“Karl Marx was born on this day in 1818. His work helps us not only understand capitalism, but fight for a world free of exploitation and domination. It remains relevant today. 🧵”

Say "NO" to the the $18,000,000 price tag of SB 1705. Say "NO" to the state interfering with a private political organization’s nomination process!

#CivilForfeiture is theft. It always has been. For a long time, courts let the govt do it with almost no pushback. But thanks to @IJ's the strategic work, courts are finally asking easy questions. And the govt can't answer them. Because of the first sentence of this tweet. /END

There should be no legal regulations on Unionising.

Likewise there should be no legal protections for unionising.

Let the unions and companies duke it out, keep the government out of it. https://twitter.com/adamconover/status/1654349361026072577
