I find modal particles generally difficult to translate, it's a constant pain

What’s your favourite German word that has no English equivalent?

Mine is ‘doch’.

We do too have an equivalent in English!

Austin Airport almost gave us the worst air disaster in decades yesterday. These planes were less than 75 feet from each other, literally landing and taking off at the same time, one on top of the other.

What’s something unhinged that you used to do as a kid? I’ll go 1st.
I used to prank call my friends pretending to be them from the future, calling to inform them of something silly that would happen in the future.
Then I would spend the school day making that silly thing true.

This is so smart 🥹

I used to call random 800 numbers from a pay phone every week, and eventually found one where an actual person answered, and then kept calling it every week and we became weird phone friends I guess

I took a bit of time to dissect the “spy balloon” story - both how it is portrayed in the US and China’s response.

As you'll see, the more you think about it, the more stunned you get at the sheer absurdity of the whole thing.

Also, access that link outside of the twitter mobile app.

Within the app, you’ll only see login sessions, not externally connected apps.

Oh good call, I didn't even think about that

TIL Beaverton & Portland were first cities in Oregon to use mobile photo radar to enforce speed limits.

And it was in 1996!!! 27 yrs ago! And it worked really well.

It is now 2023. The lack of automated enforcement as we face record traffic fatalities is really not cool.

I remember when that got installed in Beaverton! It sounded like super high tech stuff at the time

Twitter is closing its doors to hobby bots like this one. They tell us a week before this happens.

There's been a lot of measured, well-mannered commentary from other makers of Twitter bots. I thought I'd share my uncensored thoughts instead.

Fuck this.

Is @Twitter also monetizing OIDC/Log In capability? That does not make sense. They are just acting as an identity provider in this context and I’m not sure putting a paywall for user initiated profile sharing consent to 3rd parties is a right move. @elonmusk?

I mean, has anything they've done made sense? They don't support OIDC which means you have to use the same OAuth developer portal to get API access and use Log In with Twitter. Are they going to separate the two by next week?
