Oh yeah, baby. Frame your suffering as a masterpiece. Only one problem - no one's watching. It's boring, buddy, boring as death.

I hope he loses the family a ton of money too.

Seems like non-paying companies are now getting their yellow checks removed, but they're removing them manually one by one. Apex Legends (an EA game) lost its yellow checkmark but @EA itself still has it. It's also gone from Playstation.

The headline on the free newspaper that becomes trash on the trains here (and carries water for billionaires and right-wingers without fail) said, 'Starship rocket explodes, for Musk this was a success', which is a phrase I think has legs

The exploding rocket was one small step for a man, but if Elon were on it, it'd be a giant leap for mankind.

At this point it's not even fun to read responses to tweets because of the swarms of blue checks you have to scroll through

Bluechecks are incapable of coming up with anything halfway original, thoughtful or funny so it's just endless white noise

If only there was some way to have a team who could verify accounts of note, and hand out some sort of verification icon for free, to at least allow users to know a source is potentially credible or representing the person/company they are claiming to be, thus growing the platform so those same members could foster growing communities - and potentially help ad revenue

Can't think of anything that would solve that problem tho
