Facebook marketplace used to be a great place to sell... Now it's nothing but people trying to scam you. Items that used to sell in an hour... now I'm contacted by no less than 50 scam buyers who want to "ship to a cousin" or "zelle/venmo" upgrade scams. Not a single real user.

It's my #Twitterversary! I have been on Twitter for 16 years, since 25 May 2007 (via @twi_age).

Finally broke over 2000 USCF Rapid. It's been a long journey and I'm loving every moment. #chess

@RepMTG @julie_kelly2 All you have to do is look up the story of Eric McDavid to see how the FBI for YEARS have been setting up people and then charging them with massive crimes that the FBI (and FBI informants) actually committed... or talked about plans without doing anything!

I'm pretty sure if you searched EVERY home of every executive, legislative, and judicial branch person, you would find "Classified" documents. It will be the odd-duck-out if they find a home WITHOUT "classified" documents. #truth

@Unfilteredboss1 @elonmusk @KimDotcom Or... For every year your account has existed is worth one vote. Owned the account for 12 years... Worth 12 votes.

[Benjamin Bradley @benjaminbradley]

@Unfilteredboss1 @elonmusk @KimDotcom I think it should simply be "your account simply had to exist for six months (or some other predetermined timeframe) before you can be allowed to enter polls. Simple fix

[Benjamin Bradley @benjaminbradley]

@elonmusk Twitter should pause the poll towards the end and the magically find the certain amount of ballots... Oops I mean poll votes... To push @elonmusk to victory! That's how it's done right???

[Benjamin Bradley @benjaminbradley]

@elonmusk Ha... pretty soon everyone will block everyone, and then everyone will be upset that nobody is listening to their rants and finally, the peaceful silence of idiots will be achieved. Just because a person is on social media doesn't mean others have to listen!

@NDScores I know Mandaree beat Alexander and I think the score was 50-29 last night.

Complaining about Twitter and shouting about leaving Twitter while being ON and USING Twitter to complain and shout about leaving Twitter. #newnormal

[Benjamin Bradley @benjaminbradley]

"Verification" on Twitter should be a sign of a real person. A "verified" user shouldn't be allowed to change their name without losing their verification and reapplying under their changed name. Without this concept, "verification" is just a status symbol, and thus pointless.

[Benjamin Bradley @benjaminbradley]

@NDScores Alexander beat Mandaree (3-0)

[Benjamin Bradley @benjaminbradley]

@NDScores Mandaree lost to Trinity Christian (0-3)

I wonder if @elonmusk will bring back Vine now that he owns Twitter.

[Benjamin Bradley @benjaminbradley]

If this "musk acquisition" of Twitter brings open-source algorithms (and visible) with transparent mod logging and bot-elimination, then I'm all for the migration of Twitter into a true town square. I'd also like to see an "active/inactive user count" for all followers. @elonmusk
