When a bunch of chud accounts were getting suspended for sharing the trans day of vengeance images, one of the suggestions was to not suspend the accounts but to just block out the images. The idea being that the ones sharing it weren't the ones calling for violence, they were just reporting on it.

So of course the first demonstration of it on Twitter is to block out the fact that subscribers are enthusiastically agreeing with calls to violence

They also edited their hateful conduct policy to remove protections against attacking trans people.

especially if you're in the US on a work visa that will be revoked if you get fired, which I'm sure elon is 100% fine and dandy with taking advantage of

I know there have been plenty of tech layoffs in the last year, but Elon has owned Twitter for 6 months and there is still an overall scarcity of tech talent.

I don’t consider someone a bad person if they decide that due to their circumstances they would prefer not to change jobs right now, but they do have agency. Most of my connections in San Francisco are not Americans, and most of them are on job 3 or 4.

Still blows my mind there isn’t a successful 1:1 copy of the system. Mastodon has all these weird quirks that make it something else entirely. I guess that tech just doesn’t scale well enough for a smaller dev or company to be able to re-launch it.

none of the tech is difficult. it needs effort to be done but there's no hard problem in the actual system itself. the biggest issue is just getting users.

I once saw someone arguing that she dumped him because he was transphobic, or specifically transphobic to his kid. With whom she probably interacted more then elon did.

He was always fuckbrained, just not as publicly.

I've heard this too and seen this tweet interaction, and it infuriates me every time that she's still giving him some room here, like 'I know in your heart you aren't this guy' just because she was dumb enough to marry him and didn't want to believe she could marry a bigoted rear end in a top hat. Just full-on 'you don't know him, I can fix him' naivete, this far into a loving marriage. Just goddamn, Grimes.

No that's a good point that I forgot! So let's me amend it to, she was upset she built a life/had a kid with a bigot.

She strikes me as the sort of person who egotistically thought she would never fall prey to such a man, but maybe that's bc of the Boat Grimes insanity of her early 20s that was basically that kinda rich kid naivete of 'I am sure that nothing bad is gonna happen to me!!'

“In the past, I’ve been quite not good to myself. On the last tour, my last record, because I was ‘vegan’ and I had this thing where I was like, ‘The only reliable food is spaghetti.’ So I was only eating spaghetti for a year or two years. I only ate spaghetti. And then I was just so sick and my hair actually stopped growing. I went to the doctor and the doctor was like, ‘You actually are malnourished from not eating vegetables or meat and just eating spaghetti for two years.”
