Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
If you are not on Twitter but are interested in what's going on with Elon Musk's Twitter, never fear, I am back as your Twitter Correspondent.
So, on Thursday, 4/20, Elon removed all the "legacy verified" blue checks. That means that if you are, say, Taylor Swift or the Pope, and you have a blue checkmark because you have proven you identity and want to avoid being impersonated, that check mark went away unless you paid the $8 to subscribe to Twitter Blue.
The assumption was clearly that, despite all their blustering, when push came to shove the power users would nut up and pay for it, if only to avoid their fans being scammed using their likeness.
That didn't happen. As of 4/21, only weirdo Elon stans had blue checks. Those stans immediately got mad, because they had intended to purchase access to an exclusive club, and all the cool kids left as soon as they arrived.
To make matters worse for Elon, several influential shitposters began posting about #BlockTheBlue, a movement to block all paid Twitter bluechecks, and some even released scripts that would automatically block all bluecheck accounts for you.
However, some people retained their blue checks who swore they hadn't paid for them -- in particular, Stephen King and LeBron James, who had tweeted that they would refuse to pay.
Elon admitted that he had paid for these users' blue checks out of his own pocket. Is he trolling? Is it a weird simp move? Hard to say.
Now, as of 4/22, a whole mess of famous people have bluechecks who aren't paying for them. This seems to be a move to confound the automated Block The Blue scripts. Lil Nas X is tweeting angrily about how he doesn't want his blue check. People are speculating that a new policy has been silently rolled out to automatically assign a blue check to every user with over 1 million followers. Several people have pointed out that this amounts to false endorsement, i.e. implying falsely that a notable person uses or endorses your product without their permission, which is a crime. Blue checks have been posthumously assigned to Anthony Bourdain and Terry Pratchett, whose estates my money is on to be the ones to actually sue.
dril, famous shitposter and Block The Blue promoter, keeps being assigned a blue check as an apparent punishment for crossing Elon, but you can lose your blue check by changing your display name. (It seems really wild to tie the blue check to the display name and not use the username, but it became necessary after the era where all those legacy verified folks unleashed their inner Jaboukie and changed their display names to Elon Musk. As recently as last month a legacy verified user with 100k followers got banned for impersonating JK Rowling apologizing to trans people.) So dril just keeps changing his display name every time they bluecheck him. Elon and dril have been engaged in this game of cat and mouse all day. The "Elon bans dril and we all throw trash at him like New Yorkers defending spiderman" meme will probably come to fruition today or tomorrow.

I saw an old hack where you smear wood glue on the vinyl record to clean all the dust and debris out of the grooves. Never tried it but it seems like it would work.
My Dad was given one of these by a little old lady who said it didn't work.
Turned out it was just a wasp nest in the horn. He cleaned it out and serviced the mechanicals and it worked just great. She gave him about 75 cylindrical records to go with it.

Sherlock Holmes will be allowed to respect women in 420 days
#GRJRHKDHDJDND SCREEEEEEAM#LISTEN OG SHERLOCK RESPECTS WOMEN ITS THE MODERN ADAPTATIONS THAT MAKE HIM LIKE THAT#OG SHERLOCK IS THE BEST I WILL DIE ON THIS HILLÂ
The thing is, I donât disagree with you! However, the Doyle estate does, and they get litigious over it. Seriously, theyâve tried to sue SH adaptations on the grounds that he respects women in them, which he didnât do in until the stories that are still under copyright. (Convenient, isnât it?) So only when all the stories are in the public domain will Sherlock Holmes be Free
@beast-glatisantâ The Doyle esate sued the âEnola Holmesâ Netflix show about an OC Sherlockâs younger sister, for copyright infringement, with the argument that only after the 1920s, in the still-copyrighted stories, did Holmes âbecame capable of friendship. He could express emotion. He began to respect women.â
The court threw out the case because that was patently stupid, but they keep trying it. Only in 2023 will Sherlock Holmes finally be free.
Two days until public domain Sherlock Holmes, Woman Respecter
Congratulations to Sherlock Holmes on finally respecting women!
HAPPY SHERLOCK RESPECTING WOMEN DAY
obsessed with this guy
I thought @why-bless-your-heart âs tags added something important to this post
dr who is so crazy imagine your species goes extinct except for two theater kids who call themselves The Orthodontist and the Administrator and they just go around causing problems and destroying your entire culture's reputation
not that I don't love the cursed bio facts, but do you have any blessed bio facts?
HYENAS CAN LOAF LIKE HOUSECATS
YO HOW THE FUCK DID THIS GET 12,000 NOTES IN 14 HOURS
Because it is well and truly blessed.
That is because a hyena is, in fact a cat! âOh, Glynn,â you say, âFeliforma is kind of a ways back there on theâŠâ No! Cat is cat! I bet they sit in boxes, too.
Could someone kindly provide a Hyena with a box and see what happens? Iâll wait.

Growing up is actually all about realizing people donât inherently dislike you and itâs a bit odd to assume they do
This
#I was thinking about this exact tweet like yesterday#I try to remind myself of it often#that putting negative thoughts on other people is not only harmful to yourself#but also is actually a mean way to characterize a person you love and care about#and deciding to center how you think about people in a more positive light DOES help with negative self image#like it doesnât magically cure it and I still deal with it a ton#but itâs easier when you remember that like op said. dislike is not a default state#I usually use this with loved ones but this applies to strangers too#I donât think malicious thoughts about randos on the street#and maybe I should assume theyâre the same way#rather than making a random person a villain in my head in order to hurt myself#still have social anxiety tho lol via @tisyreâ
[ID: A tweet by user killdads that reads "One day I said out loud, 'when we're apart I think you must hate me, I picture you seeing my name when I text you and heaving this big sigh because I'm so annoying' and he quietly said 'that's a little mean. I wish you wouldn't picture me that way' and something clicked". /End ID]
the current thing trad losers are losing their minds over is one singular dude on reddit that refurbished and hand painted a grandfather clock and they keep saying the guy âruined its valueâ or âthrew thousands out the window by vandalizing a precious heirloomâ and let me just say as someone densely familiar with the world of antiques, thereâs a 99% chance that this clock was a mass produced reproduction and thereâs a 100% chance that clock is not as valuable as ppl think it is. when people hear the word âgrandfather clockâ theyâre always gonna assume youâre talking about something that was handmade in a woodshop by a jolly old man when rlly repros take up a waaay bigger slice of the market far more than any handcrafted items. and besides people will repaint or redecorate these âoh so sacred handcrafted itemsâ every day thereâs a huge market for them. itâs the same reason why people like long furbies or dolls that have been customized to have like gore mouths or something. this is literally like watching a bunch of pretentious farts make a mountain out of a molehill. also the clock is kinda cool if Iâm being honest
this is whatâs got them so mad. like the dude didnât destroy it or anything, just made it more interesting to look at. when I see this I donât go âthis man is a danger to society because he RUINED a precious antiqueâ i just think to myself âhuh thatâs actually some very impressive work with patterns, getting all those intricate geometric shapes done with just paint mustâve been hard work and it looks cool and the colors really popâ but idk maybe thatâs just because Iâm not completely deranged
