Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.

Mastodon is an open source platform that is part of a more open and inclusive internet. It does not have a shady ad-driven algorithmic timeline, it just has the people you like and want to interact with.

Mastodon dot social is a good starting point.

Come join.

Twitter is dying. Come over to Mastodon. It’s where the good people are.

I’d link it, but Twitter is currently warning against Mastodon links cause Musk is a giant dork ass loser.

Bought my first @EA game in like a decade and holy shit their launcher is absolute garbage. Regular crashes, massive network usage for no reason, updates not starting, games taking two minutes to launch.

You’re clearly shit at this. Let someone else take care of it FFS.

Star Wars is like imagine you can travel across the whole galaxy but the transportation is worse than buses.

[Alex Blechman @AlexBlechman]

Programming is chaotic magic. There are no rules. You ask a game dev “Can the player summon a giant demon that bursts from the ground in an explosion of lava?” and they’ll say “sure, that’s easy” and then you’ll ask “can the player wear a scarf?” and they’ll go “oof”

Oh, so when other ppl call their pets "fur baby" its fine but when I call a kid a "skin dog" somehow I'm "disgusting" and "the worst pediatrician in this hospital"??

[Simon @SimonFairbairn]

If you're looking for the Jeph Jacques tweets that got him kicked off Twitter baby you know I screenshotted all of them

[Rob DenBleyker @RobDenBleyker]

the world's richest man just banned cartoonist Jeph Jacques from Twitter for making fun of him

[Nitin Sawhney @thenitinsawhney]

I said I’d stay away from twitter till Wednesday a couple of days ago and, by and large, I have. But owing to recent events and continuous garbage I keep coming across, I needed to say this with 42 minutes before I hit Wednesday…

Okay everybody it's Zero Hour for this website, post your favorite tweets and give them a little kiss goodbye.

I'm seeing some misunderstanding the benefits debate as if it were workers v unemployed.

Roughly 40% of those who receive Universal Credit get them as in-work benefits to top up low incomes. Many others too have disabilities or mental health problems making work difficult.

It's the first day of #Comictober2022, and I already wrecked it. Sorry.
