Lol, and has it ever stopped being a 'hot mess' ever since?

A mastodon was a prehistoric beasty. Think of a short, fat & hairy elephanty/mammothy thingy.

I keep wanting to add a g on the end.🤣

I found logging out (for an unspecified amount of time) removed the restrictions.

I was texting with my friend and she was typing pussy ¹ but I was interpreting it as pussy ² and, let me tell you, a misunderstanding like that can get real weird real fast.

¹ full of pus
² slang for a vagina

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.

I never believed in my lifetime I would see a UK Prime Minister boasting to cheering MP’s that his Government was restricting our right to protest, robbing millions of workers of their democratic right to strike & stripping back human rights. Where is the outrage? WHERE?
