    So you're trans. Weird way to come out, but good on you.

    Oh I would teach my daughter to *always* show disrespect for racists, autocrats, islamophobes and women grabbers.

    Yeah, but in the former case it’ll be after he’s been publicly humiliated, so I think that one is much better.

    More vandalism from @elonmusk. Twitter has now removed all media posted before 2014. Thats - so far - almost a decade of pictures and videos from the early 2000s removed from the service. For example, here’s a search of my media tweets from before 2014. x.com/search?q=From%…
    Readers added context they thought people might want to knowReaders added context
    Images before/around 2014 are still saved on Twitter/X's servers, however, the t.co links appear to be broken at the moment. The famous Ellen DeGeneres selfie from the 2014 Oscars is currently missing from her tweet. twitter.com/EllenDeGeneres… But the original file is still available on their servers. pbs.twimg.com/media/BhxWutnC… twitter.com/Accountabilabu…
    Context is written by people who use X, and appears when rated helpful by others. Find out more.

    This is so bizarre. Are we really so disconnected from each other than they think this makes them look *good*?! I feel like I could have posted that exact meme.

    (3) However, one week’s notice and no indication of pricing shows Twitter is chaotic and unreliable. No one’s going to build a business on that; (4) So you’re basically just shutting down the API and causing massive damage to Twitter in the most labour intensive way possible.

    Democrats won’t compromise to build a wall. Trump won’t compromise either. Arguing that the President should simply declare a national emergency if democracy goes against him, so that he can do whatever he wishes... that’s the language of dictators, not of the rule of law.

    No, Elon - Twitter has a massive drop in revenue because of PEOPLE EXERCISING THEIR FREE SPEECH about you joining the company, trolling the Pelosi family, talking about ‘free speech absolutism’ and there being a 500% increase in racial slurs in days after you arrived.

    Let’s be clear here - Lucy Clark is not said to have done *anything* wrong. She simply *got a job*. She simply *exists*. What has she *possibly* done to deserve Rowling sending fourteen million people to harass and attack her? In what world is that a defensible thing to do?

    Go fuck yourself. As a Londoner who lived through the IRA, anti gay nail bombings and 7/7, this is not the time to be cock.

    Are you kidding me?! You've had access to all the same intel and information that Obama had for months!

    Jesus. They're refugees. And Obama agreed to take them in, so they're not illegal.
