Twitter is BACK.
Can we talk about the problematic mental age gap between these two and how Taylor might actually be grooming Travis? . Travis has multiple head injuries and suffers from CTE leading to the huge mental age gap which make him vulnerable.

People are like "ugh I'm leaving Twitter" but I just saw a viral thread where someone argued it's classist to know how to boil an egg. You can't put a price on this, you'll have to drag me out.

I just remembered I once made an account on Twitter I claimed was a "crush bot" and if you DMd it your crush, and that person also did, it would tell both of you. But it wasn't a bot, it was just me reading the DMs.

Having read thru the full Houthi PC small group logs, I've come to the sad realization that I'm the JD Vance of my group chats: overly emotional, slightly unprofessional, confused by what everyone is saying bc I won't scroll up, continually derails plans with late objections.

My strong opinion is that you're allowed to text a group chat any time of day/night; it's their personal responsibility to put their phones on silent at 2am.

Elon personally banned @MattBinder over Elon J*t stuff, then shut down all of Spaces just to stop Matt when he was able to still log in, and now forced free Blue on him. Imagine the palatial estate Matt lives in Elon’s mind rent free.

Someone told me that the reason suspended accounts can still join Spaces is because that feature is built on the old Periscope backend, and if an account is old enough to predate Periscope it treats it like a separate account from Twitter. Makes sense!.
