Guys, Elon released his stupid AI on Twitter and the first thing his idiot devotees did was ask it if trans women are really women and they are losing it over getting the correct answer back.
Now it’s recounting Elon’s lies for people too
This may be the only AI bot I’ve ever liked.

It's very cute how twitter (or "x.com" I guess) is currently going through its "spammed with empty porn bot accounts" arc.

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.

The new Twitter news feels like a joke in a bad sitcom where a nerd with a helicopter mom says, “You won’t even let me have any friends!” and she says, “Of course you can have friends, as long as they’re on the approved list,” and then there’s ten seconds of canned laughter.

One of the most bizarre interactions I've ever had on the birdsite is the person who made a burner account just to yell "Mary EDWARDS!" at me as if I was calling Dr. Mary Edwards Walker (pictured) by her husband's surname.
Reader, her husband's name was Albert Miller.
(The Spaniard who was a Keicho Embassy conspiracy theorist might be a close second for bizarre interactions I've ever had on the birdsite.)

Today I learned that twitter doesn't let you use the blue circle emoji in your name. You can use other emojis, but if you try to put 🔵 at the end of it, it stops you and says "woah there, hold your horses, maybe you shouldn't use special characters because blind people can't hear your name properly when they use text-to-speech software." I've tried other colored circles and they all work no problem, but it rejects the blue one every time. But yeah, it's totally an accommodation thing. Sure, Jan.
No free checkmarks. If you wanna trick people, you gotta cough up eight bucks a month.

I think it was only a matter of time before #Musk decided to purge Twitter from inactive accounts. I'm not worried about, I'm sitll gonna keep my account active and locked to prevent being impersonated or misrepresented until #SpaceKaren boots me off his site

Twitters primary advantage, it's biggest accidental nice-to-have feature, for me, is forced short posts. Not just to keep me from going on indefinitely, but for reading.
When I read an article, it's a little bit like that thing where sometimes you hold your breath while going upstairs without meaning to? If someone or something pulls me off that reading task, I typically have to not just hunt for my place but also my memory of what just happened.
So the forced break structure in a Twitter thread provides semantic foot and hand holds for me to get back to what I was reading and thinking. Short paragraph structure usually serves this purpose too but I can't count on it being there, ya know?
Idk if it's ironic or whatever that it took 3 paragraphs to explain this but I'm very tired.
