I know we hope that Mastodon could get to a point where it can replicate the utility of Twitter for e.g. crisis communication - but in the meantime I certainly hope I haven’t hit my tweet limit the next time my town is on fire. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8exgmVX/

@Pwnallthethings also noted that Twitter had to exit GCP this weekend.

They may have been trying to shed load in advance of a reduction in some capacities, but blamed it on scrapers (misdirection? mistake? who knows) But then inadvertently self-DDoSed at least from some clients.

The Oakland A's early season futility is reaching historic levels. Yes, they are 2-9. But it's worse than that.

Per @joshdubowap.bird.froth.zone: "The A’s have been outscored by 53 runs thru 11 games. That’s the worst mark thru 11 games since 1899 (Washington Nationals -57 and Cleveland Spiders -53). Those franchises didn’t exist after that season"

Dril Is Everyone. More Specifically, He’s a Guy Named Paul.

Paul Dochney posted his way into the halls of internet lore. After 15 years of anonymity, can he emerge without compromising his act?
