20% of my ‘following’ feed is ads. When I login with a non blue account: 20% ads. So the ‘half the ads’ part isn’t working either.
I mean twitter blue isn’t intentionally a scam, but the current company clearly doesn’t have the ability to deliver what they’re promising.

So I contacted twitter support about tweet editing not working:
* 1st response: Are you sure you did it right, and know the time limits?
* Yes I’m doing it right.
* 2nd response: ”Oh, this is a known bug.”

A rocket and spacecraft that cost >$4B per launch are "paying for the entire [Artemis] program"? I swear these people live in an alternate universe, what does that even mean???

Incredibly easy way to destroy Orion’s solar panels just discovered!
But hey, let’s do it just so we can get rid of the big orange stinker that’s paying for the entire program right?
Some people are way too obsessed with getting rid of SLS, it’s actually wild twitter.com/SpaceHaxx/stat…

Starstack 2 Orion Special: "Princess Flies Coach"
Starstack isn't a "design". It's a menu. Like Mexican food. Same few ingredients, many dishes.
Here we open the fridge and pull out the perfect concoction to send Orion safely off to TLI.

If I'm not mistaken this satellite was originally launching on a Falcon Heavy as rideshare with Viasat Americas. Then switched to Ariane 5 and now it's back to Falcon 9. Originally the company wanted to launch directly to GEO, it will interesting to know what are their plans

Satellite operator Ovzon, which lost its slot on one of the last Ariane 5 launches because of satellite production delays, says its Ovzon 3 GEO satellite will now launch on a Falcon 9 in the 3rd quarter of the year. news.cision.com/ovzon-ab/r/ovz

One of the things that blew my mind about ’s Rocket… the actively regen cooled heat shield, powered by the same expander cycle pump that runs the main combustion chambers! Here’s a teaser of my nearly 1 hour video coming out tomorrow! 🙌 (Today for supporters)

There's no known pricing so I can't even try to fix this with a Patreon yet. If it's really $100 a month, we're dead in the water. Twitter's 'Automated' tag already differentiates good bots from bad bots so this change is perplexing.

Friends, may be on the final stretch. It, , , and the rest of the deltayeet.net family may need to drop off Twitter as the API we use is being shut off soon and manual updates aren't feasible for much of what we do.

1. A short thread on a fundamental trend in economics of physical stuff that's highly relevant to the conversation about nuclear & renewables:
A. Manufacturing things gets cheaper with scale.
B. Constructing things in the field gets more expensive with time.
