I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?

my fav twitter reply to all of this was people getting huffy and mad and @-ing Elon asking him to ban dril and getting this reply

All he needs to do is change his name and profile picture to Musk's and he's won. Musk will either have to give him the check and face a ton of verified Elon Musk tweets he didn't write, or ban/suspend dril which will cause chaos in an entirely different way.

This whole saga is amazing because it has shown that money can NOT buy you the following:

  • Sense of Humour
  • Friends and family that will tell you to shut up/log off when you start making an rear end of yourself

its amusing that musk didn't think three minutes ahead and realize that it might not be a good idea to further cement the blue mark's reputation as a bad thing by using it to own people.

I wonder if the forcibly blued can check their account settings to see what phone number was attached to it.

And then post it.

wario64 says he doesn't have any twitter blue features other than the checkmark, so they probably aren't getting the algorithm boost

elon had the developers carve out a fake checkmark just for this stunt

Elmo is being unintentionally funny by constantly shelling out $8 here and there out of spite. He can afford it, I guess, but it's not going to make T(w)itter profitable or erase his debt obligations.

its double the cost if you give the checkmark to someone else

I think they’re all dead now that the API is hosed. However block together at least was set up not to block blue users you followed, since the presumption was you wanted to see their content.
