    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    It turns out that they couldn't work out a way to mass unverify people who had legacy blue ticks, so instead they just hid the blue ticks on the front end:

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Twitter wasn't selling the NFTs themselves, it was just a way to display existing NFTs as your Twitter avatar. The hexagonal avatars still exist, though they're of limited use to tell who to avoid, because they require having twitter blue, which is a more universal indicator of who to avoid.

    Escalating anti-LGBT+ hate and the terrorism it inspires

    If anyone's wondering what happened at the event, 1) Nazis turned up to support her. SURPRISE! 2) a large amount of counter-protesters also turned up, decorating the area with pro-trans slogans, and crowding her out of the venue when she tried to hold her rally. Also at one point she was...

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    I remember when the White House under Obama tried to exclude Fox News from interviews describing it as "not a news network" and CNN etc sided with Fox. I wonder if they still think that was a good decision.

    Why, why, why?

    I forever bear the shame that the whole thing was devised by a New Zealander. Though in the UK, it was heavily pushed by a rich bugger who didn't like that he didn't have enough time to play golf in the evening. Now we may never be rid of it.
