Both the pilots are dead and still the plane keeps flying on autopilot. Apparently they really weren’t needed after all. The hijacker was right to shoot them.

Thousands of Twitter employees have been fired and the platform is still working fine. Apparently they really weren't needed after all. Elon was right to downsize.

So far 60% of people have picked the answer than is actually impossible and this is the kind of thing that I will remember fondly about the hellsite.

I want Elon Musk to fire me. I don't work for Twitter, it just seems to be what all the cool kids are getting right now.

Deleting a whole bunch of old DM conversations. It's a soft delete but not sure why I was keeping it around.

The certificate Twitter is currently using (with me) expires Saturday, 11 February 2023 at 10:59:59 am Australian Eastern Daylight Time. So I expect if the site still exists then a lot of people will start getting certificate expires errors.

How long until Twitter goes down hard for days because they fired the one person who knows how to fix the critical system everyone forgets about?

Next week there will be a nature documentary about the starving tiger shark missing another chance at a meal putting its survival in doubt. David Attenborough will show his usual deep respect for nature in lamenting its failure here.

Heartstopping footage has captured the moment a diver almost jumps into the jaws of a tiger shark off the coast of Hawaii. The marine biologist was preparing to enter the water when the five-metre shark suddenly breaches the water, luckily only grazing her flippers. #9News

BREAKING: Elon Musk has directed Twitter’s teams to find over $1 billion in annual infrastructure cost savings by cutting cloud services and extra server space, per Reuters.
Is there a "I'm not paying Elon money" badge I think that would be very popular and enticing to advertisers.

Twitter thing might end with Jeff Bezos buying the assets during bankruptcy using spare change from his couch. That could be amusing.

Bezos probably has someone running the numbers on buying SpaceX if the Twitter purchase initiates the collapse of Elon's empire.

If I was Jeff Bezos I’d do something about Amazon’s labour practices. But once that was fixed I’d have people whose (fairly compensated) jobs it would be to run the numbers on all kinds of things.
