okay are you guys seeing her old christmas avatar/background when viewing this tweet? if you go to the bird site you see her new profile pic.

i think elon fired all the twitter voice people and they hosed up something that prevents embeds from getting the new profile pic.

edit: for reference:


Yeah, I get the old background.

I was just hearing about some media elite suppressing citizen journalism! There's these people who were working at a company and it was bought by this crazy rich guy, both crazy in the amount of money he had and crazy in the head. Anyway, he comes in and starts doing poo poo that will ruin the company at high speed like firing half its employees and they're going on Twitter and reporting about it. But crazy rich guy owns a giant media company and he starts using it to threaten them and try to suppress the reporting on his behavior!


Holy poo poo, it's an actual "victory wine" tweet.

It was the b-side to the chicken song that was number 1 for 3 weeks, and was a watershed moment in turning the UK public against apartheid - it was this pressure (along with the Queen calling her a massive racist in a private meeting) that forced thatcher into agreeing to sanctions against SA at the end of the year


I wouldn’t Google the chicken song

The Chicken Song was a parody of those tacky "song of the summer" earworms that have been a thing for decades. I was 10 when it came out and it still randomly pops into my head and I can remember most of the lyrics, while the songs it parodied are long forgotten.

I watched a few old clips of the show a while back and it was brutal for the time in its utter distaste for the establishment, especially compared to how tame rubbish like HIGNFY and Mock the Week is.

Not an expert, but I think this would be actionable in civil court.

Even if it isn't, it's generally a bad idea to antagonize all the pharmacorps for no reason.
