Yes. Me too. To call it out, yeah Yoel was the head of a critical team at Twitter, but the fact that he is Jewish and gay makes him an extra special target for hate. I’ve experienced passive antisemitism for my work, I can’t stan a platform using one of us as a bogeyman

OK, folks, this Yoel Roth imbroglio, of all things, has effectively been the last straw for me. I'm going to be significantly decreasing my twitter usage and migrating my Litigation Disaster Tours over to Mastodon (https://t.co/TMe7oSGoLV). I'll post links to them here when I do.

The silence is deafening. No humble brag about speaking at a prestigious university commencement on any of your socials @TheSineadBurke . Maybe the icy reception led to regret? Certainly two weeks later, it doesn’t look like platforming protestors was a good decision.

[Ed Brill @edbrill]

The @TheSineadBurke I am a @TheNewSchool parent writing about yesterday’s commencement. My student has followed you and your strong message about inclusivity, and was looking forward to your speech.

[Ed Brill @edbrill]

Instead we were made to relive generational trauma not just from the students, but an outside speaker. You can be sure it is an experience we will never forget. #neveragain

@EmilyP142 @fox32news Bye!

@waze this isn’t just any map error, it is on a major interstate I294S in the Chicago area and actual traffic congestion is being affected by Waze users being rerouted. Help the map volunteers help you and get this fixed

@rhappe MTG should know better than to threaten us with a good time!

@BlackttFuture Back here a LOT of people who haven’t gotten it are getting it. Also RSV and Flu-A. It’s really fun. Hope you feel better quickly

@jperlow Why? If anything, we should all be bailing on this hellsite.

@IOnSportsMedia $100 edit button? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I don’t have to pay to edit on like any other platform.

[Ed Brill @edbrill]

Occam’s razor: read some right wing tweets. there are a ton of now “verified” Twitter blue replies. How can this many people see value in a $100/yr blue check mark???
Here’s an example account that to me, looks like an Elon stan bot. It’s a game ….https://t.co/4uAhKZtsTt

@estherschindler This seems like the least of Elmo’s problems right now … but yeah this is one of the root causes of the chaos on this site these days.

@pavsmith It was always a grift. They know they can’t win through the courts

@jdemay @alanlepo Traveling in the US these days is pretty stressful. Once the plane hits the taxiway though, I can usually relax and fall asleep. The mask mandate made things a lot worse the last couple of years … I still wear one on a plane but at least the crazies don’t have to
