An entire movie fits in 49 tweets. Twitter’s copyright strike system appears to be broken so someone has uploaded the whole of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift 😂 theverge.com/2022/11/19/2346…

I went to cover a court case. The clerk thought I was the defendant. That defendant happened to be the minister Tom Tugendhat, appearing for a driving offence. I think this quote: “I don’t wear glasses,” is only half of what I said. I also stated the glaringly obvious… 🤷‍♀️😂

AND A BLACK WHAT
I'm not a racist. I have two mixed race grandchildren and a black dog, but I am getting really pissed off. Almost every advert on the tele these days show a black bloke with a white woman. It doesn't reflect society as it is. Why are they trying to brainwash us? It won't work.

(I really don't care if people wanna pay for Twitter / verification, but as a journalist it's a headache scanning Twitter right now with fakes getting RT'd into my feed)

I am genuinely using this argument in my next performance review
Please note that Twitter will do lots of dumb things in coming months. We will keep what works & change what doesn’t.

Some Mastodon servers are under very heavy load during the past few days due to the extreme spike in user numbers. Remember, no matter which server you sign-up on, you get access to the same decentralized network. You don't have to choose the popular ones!

No identity verification, & 8 bucks for a verified account? Get ready for the new cyber criminal playbook: use stolen credit card to buy verified Twitter account, impersonate real customer support channels, trick users into handing over account details in DM, account takeover.
We saw internal docs with more insight into the new Twitter Blue: -Launch on Nov. 7 but only in current markets (US, CA, Aus, NZ) -Check marks for subscribers, no current ID authentication -Some features announced by Musk won't be ready -Euro launch soon nytimes.com/2022/11/03/techn…

10 years ago today, we lit up London's skyline to mark the launch of @EE and our 4G network with the biggest light show ever held at Battersea Power Station. Since then, everything's changed. Demand for data is growing every day, driven by the apps and services we all depend on.
