My GOD the twitter drama is exploding. As of today, here are a couple updates for anyone interested:

The "insulin is free" tweet from the fake-verified Eli Lilly account tanked the company's stock, along with the stocks for two other major BioTech firms, by up to 4%

The "we're suspending arms sales to Saudi Arabia, the United States, et al" tweet from a fake-verified Lockheed Martin account tanked Lockheed's stock today

Since 8:00AM this morning there has been a tweet claiming Elon Musk was starting a program called "Elon's Tots" wherein he would pay off people's student loans

Numerous politicians and pundits have been targeted by trolls leveraging verified accounts to fuck with their public images, and many of them aren't being addressed nearly as fast as the fake-verified Elon Musk accounts

Twitter is allegedly worth 1/4 of what Elon bought it for

Tesla's stock has allegedly fallen by 50%

Elon has said Twitter may have to declare bankrupty

lmao

Manga Creator Demands Royalties from Elon Musk

The mangaka behind Magical Girl Site and the Crying Aya Asagiri image is calling out Elon Musk on his use of uncredited art on Twitter.

(A bit of a hornets nest calling out the use of stolen images in memes, because TRUE, but I admire the chutzpah)

My dad has a massive vegetable garden and it is his life. Whenever I ask how things are going, he tells me about the garden. Periodically he will text me a picture of the things he’s harvested and ask when I’m coming to pick them up. And for a while, the biggest bit of garden gossip has been his nemesis, the gopher. This gopher was consistently ruining his day by pilfering the best of everything just before my dad could harvest it. Anytime I talked to him, all he had to tell me about was “that damned gopher.” He dreamt about killing the gopher, his truest enemy. He tried to train the dog to hunt the gopher, but the dog is a pacifist. He led some of the barn cats to the holes, but the barn cats have unionized and refused his offered rate. He then laid no-kill traps (can’t risk having poison near the crops) with eventual gophercide in mind, but then suddenly he was faced with a cute and terrified animal and didn’t have the heart. He released it. “He was so scared, he’ll never come back.” The gopher was back the next day, with a vengeance. That was some weeks ago. Today, my dad sent me pictures of his garden, and I saw a squash gently laid by the gopher’s hole, like a package left on the doorstep. I said “Dad, what’s that squash doing there by the gopher hole?” He said “Oh, he likes squash best.” In an effort to appease the gopher, my father now gives him a little squash everyday, like leaving an offering for a garden spirit. This apparently works well as a compromise; the gopher has stopped stealing, content to have his meals delivered to his door.

Once again, Tumblr manages to succeed via just being honest with their users.

I made a post back around April fool's about the crabs being so popular because the joke was that every other website tries to trick you into clicking things so they can make money from your clicks and what if instead a website just asked "please click this revenue generating crab. It is there to generate revenue. In return you will have clicked on a crab. Nothing more." And the answer to that question was "people will frantically click on that crab. They don't hate the idea of the website getting money, they hate the idea of being profited on against their will".

So Tumblr implemented actual revenue crabs. "For this much money you can fill your or someone else's dash with virtual crabs. This will have the effect of there being crabs on their screen."

And people will buy those crabs. Because yes you're spending money on something stupid and useless but it's being sold to you as "hey you want something stupid and useless?", which is a nice change of pace from every other site trying to make itself out to be something more than what it is.

Twitter is floundering with the checkmark system because it's being sold as "confirm that you are someone important and who you say you are is true", which it isn't at all right now because anyone can buy one. You're buying a useless checkmark that only says that YOU think you're important. Or, more often than not right now, you are intending to trick other people into thinking you're someone you're not.

Meanwhile, Tumblr just said "Consider this double check mark. It does nothing. You will be marking yourself as someone who paid money for a meaningless checkmark and sometimes it will randomly turn into a bunch of crabs, making the site harder to use". And the userbase is like "Well sure, that sounds delightful."

The point is, despite what all the marketing and advertising people have tried to say, painting trash gold and trying to pass it off as something better is almost never as effective as just saying "hey you want this trash?"

Why yes, in fact, I do.

You are allowed to change anytime, any day and any minute with no prior notice. Don’t feel guilty for changing because someone else, your family, your friends, or society is uncomfortable with it. You are your only green light and nothing else matters. No one owes you your past self, your past actions, or past way of being. The faster you improve yourself the easier you outgrow these people or things that are holding you back. As you look back at your life one day, you will be so proud of these incredible transformations.

Screaming gripping all my friends shoes trying to hold them back but they start smoking anyways

[what-even-is-thiss]

If you’re considering smoking, don’t.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Take it from someone that’s lost several loved ones to smoking related diseases and watched someone die of lung cancer. You will be missed and it will be very painful on your way out. Any high you get from nicotine will fade completely eventually and all you’ll be left with is an addiction and not much else.

Don’t start. Whatever problem you’re trying to solve with nicotine, there’s other things that can help with it. Medication, therapy, chewing on pencils, caffeine pills. Find something that won’t fill you up with tar. You deserve to live a long life with clean lungs.

[what-even-is-thiss]

If you’re in a place in your life where you want to quit smoking, you can talk to your primary care doctor about it and they can hook you up with support and possibly meds to help wean you off. You don’t have to figure it out on your own.

I think ‘I adore you’ is such a wonderful phrase, it’s so soft and loving and feels so safe and comforting
