It turns out that some enterprising individuals are purchasing blue checks on Twitter and then uploading hundreds of videos, up to two hours long. This data storage cost vastly exceeds the revenue Musk receives from those accounts for their Twitter Blue subscription.

Well pour one out for one of the boot drives for the @FremontCabalIX 's micromirror's as a @westerndigital blue sa510 drive bought new in September it looks like seems to have just decided it was done. Pretty odd since it was jut acting as boot, and not actually serving data...

Getting word that a large number of number of Twitter contractors were just laid off this afternoon with no notice, both in the US and abroad. Functions affected appear to include content moderation, real estate, and marketing, among others

Lockheed Martin stock is down more than 5% a day after a Twitter Blue-verified account impersonated the defense company and said it was halting sales to certain countries, including the U.S. Similar declines at Eli Lilly after an impersonator Twitter account. $LMT $LLY

That Eli Lilly prank changed the Twitter game: New goal isn't getting more and more people to laugh at terrible puns, it's getting Elon Musk sued by bigger and bigger multinational corporations until he files for bankruptcy.

Hey @KWF I would like to file a formal complaint: the mirror @ZiplyFiber ziply.mm.fcix.net was *ONLY* moving bits at 72MB/s!? It took 31 seconds to download the Fedora 36 x86_64 ISO. You should investigate post haste! </joke> that's awesome, and kudos to Ziply for hosting
