“you think you’re the one who gets to kill me?” fghjvkfkkd
Trying to match this energy
Hmmmmmm blah follow my twitter pls I will give u a single sinflower seed twitter.com/SpaceMomJess
We’re really at this point of the dystopia, huh
I thought this was a joke but wow no Trump really actually did threaten to shut down Twitter because it “silences conservative voices,” a claim inspired by the fact that Twitter attached a fact-check to a couple of his tweets.
POPE TWITTER IS FUCKING POPPIN
things heat up in the jesus fandom
SWEET POTATOES YES. I adore Fr. Martin.
Looked into it, and it’s real. Not only that, but if you look at his twitter account, he made some more awesome tweets that day that make me really happy to be a Catholic. I’ll include screenshots and text versions of them below.
It saddens me that a #trans student cannot choose what bathrooms to use. A basic need. It’s an affront to their dignity as human beings.
And who is harmed by a #trans student using a bathroom? I’ve seen women using men’s rooms when the ladies’ rooms were full. Who is harmed?
As usual, the one who is made to suffer indignities is the one on the margins, the one seen as “other,” the one seen as “them.”
But for Jesus, there is no “other.” There is no “them.” There is only “us.” So we must be about openness, acceptance and inclusion. #trans
Who should stand with the marginalized, the mocked, the bullied, the confused, the outcast, the minority? The Christian should. #trans
Because Jesus did.
His Facebook post that day says something similar: Who should stand with the marginalized, the mocked, the bullied, the outcast, the confused, the hurt? Who should stand with the one seen as “different,” the one seen as “other,” the one seen as “them”? Who should stand with people who often stand alone? The Christian should. Because Jesus did.
This is how the positive versions of Christianity work.
ELON MUSK'S GRAND PLAN FOR TWITTER
Genius. The real Tony Stark. A pioneer on par with the Wright brothers and Zefram Cochrane. Where do I sign up for my One-Way Ticket to Mars NFT
I love how he's obsessed with fixing bots on Twitter, but not just fixing it, he has to fix it.
A normal person buying a company would react to a report saying the site's bot problem isn't as bad as expected with "oh, great, that frees up resources we don't have to allocate there". He reacted by firing the staff responsible in anger, bc if there weren't millions of bots for him to ban, spending all that money would be a waste. This is the management style of a guy who demands a rescue team ditch their equipment to use his sub midway through, and who said he could fix world hunger then rejected an itemized list of what he could spend money on to end some world hunger bc it wouldn't fix all of it
When Elon bought Twitter, he was given a report saying the bot problem wasn't as bad as he thought. He fired the people responsible and started declaring that he would solve the bot problem
Today, the majority of traffic on Twitter is now bots
ALTIt all makes sense, though, when you realize Elon is not only really stupid and bad at everything, but also he didn't even realize the bots on Twitter were bots, bc of course someone who surrounds himself with crypto shills was going to end up seeing the site's normal users as the suspect ones
He literally ran the site into the ground due to an obsessive need to "fix the bot problem", and he ended up creating the worst bot problem in the history of social media, over 73% worse than the next-worst site. And that's before you consider the possibility that big brain genius Elon Musk is trying to fix Twitter's ad revenue problem by making bots that engage with ads. Incredible
Fave part of this, from the story itself, is that the cybersecurity firm monitoring this almost refused to publish the data, bc they didn't believe it could really be that bad
Apparently, before he did all this, the number of bots last year at the same time was...2.81%. That was the number Elon was desperate to fix, and he turned 2% into 75%
okay not only is this twitter account fucking gold but its also so accurate i could cry
the fair trade latte fuckery hath slain me.
The only thing that can make this better are these two tweets from the girl behind Guy In Your MFA:
hey guys i have taken over the official swedish twitter account @sweden for the week which means i am now legally the king and also prime minister of sweden (go there and interact with my tweets please i am begging you)
god i am so sorry…..
half of tom hanks’ twitter is him tweeting lost items he sees and he signs all of his tweets
Alt-right blogger Jenna Abrams (@Jenn_Abrams) enjoyed a large following in Twitter, and her tweets were cited by Buzzfeed, the NY Times, and other news agencies. It turned out “she” was another creation of the Internet Research Agency, the Russian government-funded troll farm in St. Petersburg.

More info on the school walkout! Spread the word and please participate if you can!
[set of tweets from the National School Walkout on twitter reading; “This .is .a. national. movement. All schools are encouraged to participate. The 10:00 time is done by your time zone, “rolling” over the country.
Gather your classmates. Work with your administrators and class presidents. Propose these ideas respectfully and efficiently. Just emailing your local school officials can get the ball rolling on this movement. #NationalSchoolWalkout
On Friday, April 20th we want students to attend school and then promptly WALK-OUT at 10:00 am. Sit outside your schools and peacefully protest. Make some noise. Voice your thoughts. “We are students, we are victims, we are change.”
So, what’s our plan? On Friday, April 20th, the 19th anniversary of the Columbine shooting we propose a National High School walk out. Don’t attend school, wear orange and protest. Sign the petition on our page if you pledge to do so. #nationalwalkout #schoolwalkout”]
