This leaked a while back and rumor was it was to fit more tweet in on screen

But the page title rather than image would work better for that. The lack of Twitter being a primary news source (gee wonder why that's happening) and the excuse being "stop the bots" is answer enough for me to stop wondering about it.

I thought so as well but one of the spreaders of the conspiracy theory advised people to cover themselves in aluminum foil so at least they understood that it's the signals being transmitted through the air that's the problem and not just owning a receiver.

See, I can respect this, it’s ideologically consistent. Cover yourself in aluminum foil to protect you from the 5G signal, it’s like a tinfoil hat but better.

If Twitter ends up in someone else's hands they're going to try and make their money back, which means monetization. Since that's proven to be anathema to the platform so far it's extremely likely that it will simply hemorrhage users and die until the name is re-sold to the next moron who thinks they have the secret key (they don't).

I guess this is one of many reasons why I’m not a billionaire, but I’m honestly surprised that Elon hasn’t prioritized ditching the Twitter domain so that he can sell the brand name, domain, and identity with a “no social media” rider or something. That alone is probably the company’s most significant divestable asset at this point.

His fragile ego could not handle someone else doing a Twitter better than him, he'd explode like a prince rupert's drop. Now that I think about it, I desperately hope whoever manages to take it from him succeeds, if only to watch a billionaire completely leave the rails.

Casey’s primarily serves tiny communities, their strategy was to go where McDonalds wouldn’t in the 80s/90s, and convenience stores in the Midwest typically carry wood for fireplaces, pits, and wood stoves.

Oh. Well now it makes me sad.

The 7-11 near me charged 8.00 for wood.... Could not imagine if lower income folks had to rely on that for heating.

Sounds don't normally affect me but the sound they use to signify her drinking the soda is extremely off-putting, like I had to close the video after the second time and then it did a third before I could. It doesn't even sound like someone drinking, it's just terrible
