Apparently I'm only going to be tweeting about Musk's vandalism to Twitter for awhile. If you want actual interesting content, find me on Mastodon.

- Lol the Twitter webapp is trying to load something from its internal graphql API and getting a 429 Too Many Requests response. Twitter's Javascript ignores the error and tries again, hundreds of times a second. Twitter is DDOSing itself.
- Really unhappy watching Google do Union Busting 101 and smear the reputations of their employees as they fire them. That's not the "Don't be Evil" company I used to work for. The senior management who are still there should be ashamed. Message is clear: don't go work for Google.
- Replying to @nelsonHere's a quick video capture of Twitter DDOSing itself. Note the vibrating scrollbar and reload throbber? That's what it looks like when their own webapp makes hundreds of failing requests a second.
00:00 - Replying to @esthercrawfordDid Musk just kill the "Official" check mark you announced 18 hours ago?
- Replying to @JasonHe's gonna really like you some day, l'il Tyke.
- Replying to @jackThe result today is your company has endorsed an actual Nazi organizer, one who organized an event that led to a murder and then gloated about that murder afterwards. You are failing.
- Replying to @XDevelopersIt must have been very embarrassing for you to write this tweet. If you need help getting a new job, feel free to contact me. I helped create the original Twitter API and know a lot of people who can give you a better job with a boss who respects developers and employees.
- Replying to @b0rk"ps e" is interesting for showing environment variables. (Can also get these via /proc on Linux.) On older Unix systems you could see other users' environment this way.
- You wonder why women don't speak up more often about sexual harassment? This is why.
- Twitter is now promoting anti-gay monkeypox slurs as trends. Strong memories of horrible 1980s AIDS "jokes". Note the hand-written description of the hashtag; this was more than just an algorithm deciding to attack me in the middle of a health crisis.
