I successfully navigated the timezone changes to London and back and didn't lose my Duolingo streak, AMA 🔥

Has anyone else noticed their suggested tweets as well as ads on twitter have gotten significantly worse today?

I'm sorry to all of my followers who are still taking this Twitter news seriously. I just cannot with it anymore 😂

any earnest discussion about what Twitter™ should do just feels pointless now

Oh I see Twitter verification is going great today https://twitter.com/ijustine/status/1591124655888568321

soooo ActivityPub, can we talk?

I ran some stats on the types of messages my single-user instance has received in its lifetime:

Create: 257,378
Announce (boosts, whatev): 39,168
Like: 16,723

These all seem normal.

Delete: 386,953 🤯

Why have I received more Delete activities than all other messages combined??

sorry yall this account is now a Twitter trashfire stan account 🔥

I just can't stop watching as it all comes crumbling down

well this didn't age well

I've been here 3 days and my @FitBit watch still hasn't figure out that I'm in a new time zone. What good is a watch if it can't tell you the time?? Also there's no way to manually set the timezone. And force syncing it hasn't helped either 🤨

Now *this* is a blue checkmark I would pay $8 for:

This morning I noticed I have a new feature in YouTube called "Go Live Together", an easy way to bring in guests to your livestream. So what better way to test it out than to try it LIVE right now?

I need to figure out what shenanigans @TripActions pulled with my itinerary that caused the security check to reject my ID, and the @AlaskaAir lounge agent to have an extremely confused look on her face after scanning my boarding pass.

I mean to be fair, this sounds like the basis of all advertising https://twitter.com/emollick/status/1586725978528694273

The spring in our dishwasher door broke today and I had no idea how heavy dishwasher doors are without that assistance!

I have no reason to leave twitter because my twitter is already just a shadow copy of my website, but if you want to find me elsewhere, you can follow me from Mastodon and micro.blog and others:

I'm trying to pick out doorknobs and locks for the house and it turns out I have a lot of feelings about how doors should work

so... @AlaskaAir recently redesigned the exterior paint of their planes, and now most of the stock footage on StoryBlocks is out of date. But I'm noticing some other stock websites have more up to date clips. what's going on?

October is cybersecurity awareness month.

Okta is a cybersecurity company.

...coincidence...?

why are there always too many lens cleaning cloths when you don't need them and not enough when you're actually looking for them??
