"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.
It really sucks for those people.
Apparently this article is outdated, and a later article states that the agreement with Google Cloud is resolved but
I don't even know who to believe now...
my favorite work memory from this store will always be “hey remember when the subway inside the store closed down and they let me take a bunch of their shit for free and now it lives inside my house?”
my life is a joke

This person has something extremely important to say but I was very confused the first two times I read it, so as a clarification:
“LGB people” seems to refer to those Drop The T assholes, not to be saying all LGB people are hateful.

Hey! As a member the LGBTQ group, I always had the headcanon that Miss Spink and Miss Forcible were a couple. Thoughts?

As the author, so have I.
Actually, let's clarify this one, a little more. They are obviously a couple, and were always written to be a couple. What else would they be? (No, they aren't sisters, they have different names.)
"We never married, so we're undivorceable," they sang in the Stephin Merritt musical of Coraline...
(They were based on my long ago elocution teacher and her partner.)
Yet another. I appear to have answered this one many many times on Tumblr alone (and on Twitter, alav ha-shalom, and even on my blog, before that).
And what I find oddest about it, is if it had been an elderly man and an elderly woman as neighbours, who had been living in the flat downstairs for the past thirty years or more, you'd just assume they were a couple, and would not be writing to the author to find out if they were a brother and sister or perhaps roommates.
