Steve EasterbrookI used to have this pinned on my (defunct) twitter account, so will repeat it here:
Don't think about climate change as something we succeed or fail at. It's not binary. Every tonne of carbon emissions makes the problem worse, so everything we do to avoid those emissions helps. Never stop trying!
karl rove knausgårddamn that really makes me reconsider whether or not being on twitter makes you a fascist, something I was definitely on the fence about before https://mastodon.world/@adhdmarie/110644197833603438

One thing worth remembering as people migrate from Twitter is that no, they're not fascism apologists for having spent so long over there. Many of them are marginalised and have built entire communities on Twitter - think about what it takes for disabled, immunocompromised, queer, BIPOC, or trans people to say goodbye to their support systems. Many people rely on the visibility that Twitter afforded them for mutual aid support or work; myself included.
"there's too many accidents at this intersection, people just aren't paying attention to cross traffic, what can we do?"
genius: "lets make them keep track of three directions of traffic so they can determine the right of way by timing the precise moment all the other cars came to a stop and hope they all make the same conclusion"
the 4 way stop is without a doubt the worst traffic pattern ever devised
my city is run by the sort of traffic engineer that has never seen an intersection he didn't think could use a 4 way stop
SheldonThis 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.
