Man...

I was pretty bummed when I heard that Twitter was going to die. There are some cool moments in history that happened on Twitter. It was a hell of a ride, but the writing was on the wall well before Elon bought it. It was time to go.

But not like this.

It deserved a good death. Not to have it's corpse raped on full display over and over.

A lot of very talented people committed so much time and energy to this. When it launched, it was a novel idea and they really forged some roads in our understanding of how we communicate and receive information.

It was clear at the end that it would never produce the kind of ROI on advertising to make investors happy, and that Nazis had clearly taken over the platform and used it to bastardize journalism further. It was time to go to pasture.

But not like this.

Hopefully its mutilated, humiliated and desiccated corpse will feed the growth of the federated web.

I hope you find peace, sweet prince.

"Editor wastes ink on this bullshit instead of the news"

Must be a lot of freedom down there that they're banning so many things.

What the hell is with these shitty judges not doing their jobs? They've been warned. The next step is not to warn them again, it's to file sanctions.

Holy shit!! This is great news. Hey - if we just raise temperatures globally, that could solve our micro plastics problem. Now... How do we get the ball rolling on this new "global warming" idea?

"CNNs Dana Bash puts microphone in front known liar and is surprised when he lies"

Fucking media. Stop giving attention to these clowns.

Good to know that nobody will be held accountable for the end of the world.

I think that if they're letting those cars go out the factory door with the parts for heated rear seats, then I own those too, and I'll do with them what I please.

Ding fuckin dong.

Should have died in the Hague

You've clearly never taken for the ole' poutine scam. Everywhere you buy poutine, they tell you that "this isn't REAL poutine. You've gotta go to __________". It's always somewhere else. This poutine is in another castle. Don't fall for it. It's all so they can tell sell more plane tickets to Montreal.

Total assholes and somehow that's a selling point.

Put him. The fuck. In jail.

At this point, the GOP, the DOJ, and the NYAG are complicit in his criminal behavior.

Fuuuuck... Just rolling out the deep cuts

I just feel like there isn't enough "we told you so" laying around to unfuck this

It's a good thing she told all of the right people that this happened so that we could avoid an obvious coup and threat to the constitution that she swore an oath to protect...

Amirite, guys?!?

Why did the room get so quiet?

There's a slate of judges who are refusing to do their jobs. There shouldn't be another discussion about it, the lawyers were warned, and this step should be to file sanctions and report them to the bar.

A Colorado judge issued an order disallowing Trump from intimidating witnesses or officers of the court - something that is ALREADY illegal. They're so terrified of putting him in jail for contempt.

Chicken shit judges.

*Edit: there -> they're. Amateur hour over here.

Scotus has clearly demonstrated that it is no longer a legitimate institution. It's be fine with both sides ignoring them until they can demonstrate that they've cleaned house.

We're not doing laws anymore. Just for the poors

At first, I was mad. Then the slow, sad realization that you're more right than not...

I don't know that this has ever not been true. It's sort of a soul crushing gig
