my dad has been speaking to a royalist in his street and when my dad said we should get rid of the monarchy this bloke said "who would you have in charge instead... a load of transgenders?" and im obsessed with the idea that you can either have a king or a council of trans people

Chrome extension to auto-block Twitter Blue subscribers on Twitter
It has to add the Blue accounts as you encounter them to avoid bot bans, but if you want to expedite, visit Elon's tweets and watch it add thousands per minute

Imagine how much it would cost to hire LeBron James to write content for your website. Imagine miraculously getting him to do it for free. Imagine then driving him away from your website so you can fail to collect $96 from him annually

Where is Powell? Where is Yellen? Stop this crisis NOW. Announce that all depositors will be safe. Place SVB with a Top 4 bank. Do this before Monday open or there will be contagion and the crisis will spread.

George Hotz live tweeting his realization of how hard development is is actually fucking hilarious.
One day ago claimed his only job is to fix Twitter search functionality and is already trying to crowdsource someone else to do it for free

on the contrary, I see it as an extremely impressive feat that the company built an infrastructure robust enough to handle running with a skeleton crew

The fact Twitter seems to be running just fine with about 80% of its employees gone, shows how little work most of those people actually did.

it's weird how many full time podcasters are making fun of people at twitter for having to finally "work hard"

If you’re not familiar with the term, the act of flying in, making a lot of noise, shitting on everything, and then flying off again is called “seagull management.”

More Twitter employees are publicly criticizing Elon for making up stories about how Twitter works and getting fired.
It’s becoming a wave of mass insubordination with Twitter engineers going out in a blaze of glory.
Every time I think this acquisition can’t get worse, it does.

A lot of folks have asked about how you'll be able to distinguish between @TwitterBlue subscribers with blue checkmarks and accounts that are verified as official, which is why we’re introducing the “Official" label to select accounts when we launch.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The rollout of the “Official” badge has now ended, and the badge is no longer shown on Twitter profiles. Elon Musk has confirmed that he “just killed it.”

I've posted this before but it is worth repeating. It absolutely rules that if you make fun of Elon Musk on here, the chance that he both see it and be upset by it is shockingly high.

if a company forced me to work 24/7 on a dumbass project then fires me right in the middle of it, that would be my Joker moment
Quote Tweet
The other day, Elon Musk mistakenly referred to Birdwatch as “Community Notes.” He then forced the people who worked on that project to work 24/7 on changing every instance of that name to his mistake, everywhere. He then fired them all on Friday. twitter.com/elonmusk/statu…

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Community Notes was in fact the original name of the product, per Twitter employee. Elon did not “mistakenly” use the wrong name.

Canada has been a pretty amazing place to be in my mid-20s and kick off my career. My gut instinct is Ireland would be a better place to settle down and have kids though.

- I have no evidence for this but I can't help but feel the education is worse here than in Ireland
- Irish people are way more craic, Canadians have a much more "cheesy" sense of humour although there are exceptions
- Canadian money has British royalty on it
- Less vacation

- Property prices 🤢
- Buying a decent home is pretty much unattainable without your parents gifting you hundreds of thousands of dollars
- Canadians will often own property young here without disclosing the above parental assistance to pretend they are investment wizards

- To add on to the food thing, everything is pumped full of sugar and preservatives. Milk and bread should not last for months. I've had crazy stomach issues since I moved here
- The roads are pretty shit and Canadian/North American drivers are notably worse and more aggressive
