The best thing about Elon being forced to buy Twitter is that he’s basically become Gil, the desperate sales guy from The Simpsons

well the twitter thing is rly scary... i wanted to stay until the very end but then this...

So what should we do??? the thought of wiping my twitter acct, which has been an archive of all my thoughts, feelings, shitposts, meta threads/analysis, art, doodles, Everything for the past 6+ yrs makes me feel sick to my stomach, but the thought of all that being used to feed AI against my will makes me feel even worse... Should we really wipe our accounts??? I want to cry...

For the people wondering why Goncharov is trending again, it’s because Scorsese’s daughter leaked on her Twitter that her dad is remaking it, it’s already got a cast and everything. Personally I love Margot Robbie as Katya but I’m a little unsure about the rest of the picks- thoughts?

I joined tumblr and twitter around the same time, mid 2019. I have a moderate following here, but over there I've never been able to cultivate any audience whatsoever. None. Plenty of bots, sure, but the only human to ever interact with me was a big artist who I commissioned a couple times, and they follow all their regulars indiscriminately, so I've spent the last four years tweeting into the void. The most recent round of apartheid nepo manchild fuckery was finally enough to drive me away from the bird site for good. My time there was a failed experiment, and I'm ashamed of myself for allowing it to drag on this long with so little to show for it. I have friends on tumblr, but not so much as a single acquaintance on twitter. Good riddance.

Oh shit lol. Twitter HQ in San Francisco tonight. Twitter users are sending out ‘last tweets’ amid another worker exodus and fears the site could go dark 

Turmoil at Twitter reached a new level on Thursday, as users witnessed in real time the mass resignation of staffers in the wake of Elon Musk’s $44 billion takeover. Some questioned whether the social media company would survive the exodus of staff on top of previous layoffs of around 3,700 workers.

“Goodbye Twitter” and “#RIPTwitter” were trending with more than 60,000 combined tweets, and hundreds of workers reportedly left on Thursday after Musk’s 2 p.m. deadline to commit to his strategy or resign. Some users speculated that they were sending out their last tweets and that the social network would soon stop working.

Departing workers took to the social network, sharing sentimental, humorous and defiant messages.

Matt Miller, who said he worked at Twitter for over nine years posted a video       from what appeared to be inside the company’s offices as the deadline came. “We’re all about to get fired,” he said nonchalantly while standing next to four other workers.

“I walked away from my dream job today with a full heart because of the people I got to work with everyday,” said Jessalyn Johnson, a departing Twitter Real Estate and Workplace Strategy operations manager. Johnson shared photos of what she called “the best 4.5 years a girl could wish for” to her timeline.

Kristyn Kawaja, a senior client account manager, tweeted that leaving was one of the most difficult decisions she’d ever made. “Coworkers turned into family, and clients turned into trusted partners and friends. I wouldn’t change this experience for the world,” she said.

Musk himself tweeted on Thursday evening in the wake of the departures, in what appeared to be a reference to Twitter’s dire finances.

“How do you make a small fortune in social media? Start out with a large one,” Musk said, after previously claiming the company was losing $4 million per day, which necessitated layoffs. Musk took out more than $13 billion in debt to complete his deal and is liable for over $1 billion in annual interest payments.

What is happening at Twitter?

so turns out you need an account to even see one tweet from someone. My friend has a Twitter account and I don't, but I was able to see their tweets until today. Now I'm faced with a big login screen. The internet really is getting worse, isn't it?
