“This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.
The Twitter home feed’s been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.
In the first video, notice the error message that I’m being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.
The second video shows why it’s jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon’s latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.
This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.
Unbelievable. It’s amateur hour.”
So he artificially limited the number of tweets you can see per day with a “free” account.
Once you hit your limit, it stops you from loading the page. But it also doesn’t know WHY it isn’t loading, so it keeps TRYING.
Twitter is literally hitting itself in the face ten times per second per user.
This is so completely amateurish it’s unbelievable. It’s like putting your car in neutral and slamming your foot on the gas until your engine redlines and then wondering why it’s making a horrible noise and a terrible smell but not going anywhere.
It gets worse
This is so comically bad I don’t how to explain it to people who aren’t chronically online l😂😂😂
I mean people of a certain age use Twitter for everything from talking to friends to getting news
Its like, imagine if your tv just turned off after you watched it for two hours and couldn’t be turned back on from 24 hours
No it’s absolutely terrible. There are people who freelance and are artists who do most of their finding of work on Twitter.
extremely fucking weird to have to convince leftists that fighting for a better public education system & better wages for teachers is not, like, the Lame Establishment Dem take or whatever.
It is not Cool and Radical to advocate for the dissolution of the entire public education system in favor of Everyone Doing Their Own Thing. what you’re describing is libertarianism, and a system that directly and dramatically benefits fascist right-wingers and child abusers.
the community-centered child rearing yall love to talk about exists. it desperately needs to be improved, but the bones are here, and they’re already doing a lot of legwork in the fight against aggressive nuclear family isolation.

funniest thing about the thing (1982) is that the titular thing is both a master manipulator who can perfectly replicate anyone but also a big bundle of nerves who flips out and starts screaming and turning into 5000 meat parts at once the INSTANT it’s found out
like at one point the thing replicates a guy who has a heart condition, promptly has a heart attack, and then gets so freaked out by the defibrillator it starts biting people
the thing is a master actor who is absolutely awful at improv and the show keeps going wrong
