I see… but does this mean that the handle at X will differ from a user’s handle at Twitter? That would hurt the concept of a one-stop shop.

Twitter, like other social media platforms, is where conspiracy theories can proliferate. But Musk, joining in on the conspiracy spreading by tweeting responses like “interesting” and “wow”, lends credence to those theories by people who respect him. Tucker Carlson Is Launching a New Show on...

No, this is why you shouldn’t use deadly force when it isn’t warranted. How is it this difficult to comprehend? Someone can do something wrong, immoral, or against the law, and still not deserve to die. And someone who murders someone needs to face charges, even if a court of law eventually...

According to an eyewitness account, a homeless man was killed because he yelling at passengers that he was hungry, thirsty, and tired of having nothing. Charges should be brought forth. A man was killed and, intentional or not, a court of law needs to determine culpability. Man dies after being...

I haven’t heard if the person has been charged, yet, but regardless of whether he is eventually found guilty or innocent, I’d think he would be charged with involuntary manslaughter.

What about the whole sunlight disinfection procedure, are we scrapping that, too? /S

I agree, it’s more accurate to say that it has the potential to affect millions of sites because those millions no longer even have the option of automatically posting to Twitter, while 120K sites which use it now are directly affected.

Wow, the article reports it is 43% of websites and will affect hundreds of millions of sites!

Remember how the tv character Fred Sanford would ignore bills by stuffing them back into his mail box? Somewhere at Twitter, those emailed bills are being marked as unread and then ignored. 😁 Twitter responded to unpaid bill emails with automated bot: report

Have you noticed that Twitter’s “move forwards” are really just moves to undo changes that Musk implemented? Expanding the label “government affiliated” Removing blue checkmarks Limiting emergency automated tweets Twitter just realized it was dumb to cut off automated public service tweets

One provides readers access to original content. The other allows a user to write longer posts and artificially promotes their posts.

We were talking about "why" someone would support statehood and you suggested Democrats would support it because it could give them additional votes in the Senate. I said "why" a person or a political side supports it doesn't matter, what matters is whether it will do the people living there any...

Banning books certainly doesn't help.

You know what they say about not learning from history…

You mean like how North and South Carolina did?

Every so often, conservatives make noise about wanting to split away from the US.

Two totally different cases. Texas is already a state. Puerto Rico and DC are not states but the residents want them to become states.

The "why" someone or some party supports statehood is immaterial, what's important is what is best for the people living and working in DC. And of course to give consideration what the people in DC want regarding statehood.

Musk’s flying habits are even worse than I thought. But it’s not just him, many of the wealthy have a disproportionately large carbon footprint. A private flight every two days, is it the rich version of VanLife? Elon Musk's private jet emits 132 times the carbon of average American

I have to admit, Musk is very imaginative about how to defund Twitter.

Well, the study quoted in the article says that 95% of young people who transition do not retransition. Do you have a similar study you can share which offers an opposing conclusion that supports your statements?

Please note that the table only lists a total of 6,578 homicides for 2019. But the FBI also lists 15,020 murders and non negligent manslaughters for 2019. At the bottom of the table, there is this note: NOTE: This table is based on incidents where some information about the offender is known...

Not at you, but at the tweet… Message appears to be saying people shouldn’t criticize or voice their discontent aka put up or shut up… funny thing to suggest doing about a “public square” owned by a “free speech absolutist”. 🤷🏻‍♂️
