IT GETS WORSE!
"This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.
The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.
In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.
The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.
This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.
Unbelievable. It's amateur hour."
So he artificially limited the number of tweets you can see per day with a "free" account.
Once you hit your limit, it stops you from loading the page. But it also doesn't know WHY it isn't loading, so it keeps TRYING.
Twitter is literally hitting itself in the face ten times per second per user.
This is so completely amateurish it's unbelievable. It's like putting your car in neutral and slamming your foot on the gas until your engine redlines and then wondering why it's making a horrible noise and a terrible smell but not going anywhere.
This is so comically bad I don’t how to explain it to people who aren’t chronically online l😂😂😂
I mean people of a certain age use Twitter for everything from talking to friends to getting news
Its like, imagine if your tv just turned off after you watched it for two hours and couldn't be turned back on from 24 hours
No it's absolutely terrible. There are people who freelance and are artists who do most of their finding of work on Twitter.
It really sucks for those people.
I had my first pride ever and was in the parade.
Had a blast, but I am now out of spoons and peopled out.
Wooh, that was as amazing as, afterwards, it was draining.
you’re not for everyone. so what. literally so what. you still have people who will always love you & whom you mean the world to. and you also have yourself. you’re not missing out, they are
Notice: not only do your friends actually like you, they secretly like you twice as much as they let on
The Anita fic that I've never procrastinated ever. Happy pride to these lesbians in particular
pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them
YOU THINK I’M JOKING BUT I’M DEAD SERIOUS
one day this comic will reach a million notes and then i’m going to quit my job and become a couch
Everyone who isn’t reblogging this version is a coward and a villain

OMG MY NEW SHOES CAME :3 ignore my ugly house arrest ankle bracelet. haha
fuck everything else this is the real post of the decade
having read batman: the cult now, it really is one of those stories that simultaneously have to have happened and also, can’t possibly have happened as written
blackest night references it! but also, this is an event that involves, within the same week, the assassination of the mayor and entire city council, gotham coming under martial law, the national guard being called in and then temporarily abandoning gotham to the hostile takeover of a religious cult, and hundreds of deaths. it’s just plausible that neither tim nor steph were in the city at the time — stephs early appearances placing her in manchester and tim potentially being at boarding school — but they should still have vivid memories of it! it made national news! and yet, unless i’m missing something major, none of their 90s stuff really acts like it happened.
Yeah, I would have loved to see that factored in. It should have affected people a la NML and have a domino effect.
It’s too bad it didn’t.
It’s kind of a wasted opportunity.
