Living the... no... *a* life on Zanzibar since 2011. Dabbler in baking, gardening, illustration, arts & crafts in general, and environmental consulting. Although I perhaps should consider that last one as a bit more than dabbling I suppose.

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.

In 17 hours time I'm back where I am right now running a quiz night.

Oh. Fabulous. Wonderwall. 😭

More ABBA. These emojis are new to me, but this seems to capture my state of being right now:
