@mariamainmo "what's the best way to get rid of a dead body?"

[Pat Grasso @bluesledmaster]

I like that season 11 of the walking dead returned to some of the horror elements that drew me to the show in season 1

Hollywood people at a funeral be like "it was time for him to go, his character was fully developed"

@kelseyhightower @Cam11us @shadowbq But if the (private) keys and the signatures are all stored in the same place (Twitter) and never really leave the trust boundary like email does, what's the point in signing them? Or, what's the point in doing that _publicly_?

[Pat Grasso @bluesledmaster]

@kelseyhightower BUT how do I get your public key in a trustworthy way?

@sarahschauer This is creepy I had a dream last night that I got three cats but the third one mysteriously disappeared

1) fires half the staff
2) wants to roll out "widespread verification"

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning.

This will be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue.

[Pat Grasso @bluesledmaster]

@MonkeyConnolly @IAPonomarenko @elonmusk So that others can distinguish the real you apart from other accounts claiming to be you. It's a stamp of authenticity.

[Pat Grasso @bluesledmaster]

Getting ready for the onslaught of lookalike/homograph Twitter handle phishing campaigns, as verified users decide not to pay to keep the verification and become indistinguishable

[Pat Grasso @bluesledmaster]

@sergeyglkn Every day we get a little bit closer

[Pat Grasso @bluesledmaster]

@jschauma @RachelTobac Well yeah, because it's the first data point that allows you to assign a concrete dollar value to a breach, which will decide the budget for security 🙃

[Pat Grasso @bluesledmaster]

@devongovett I think it depends on the custodian's philosophy. There's also a big difference between frameworks that are essentially the product and frameworks that are byproducts (but still primarily owned & maintained by a single company).

[Pat Grasso @bluesledmaster]

I wouldn't call Twitter a "micro-blogging" platform. That's not fair to blogs

[Pat Grasso @bluesledmaster]

@kelseyhightower For privacy and ownership ideals, these solutions seem great but they always beg the question of whether self-hosting content is worthwhile for content creators, considering both usability & cost. I'm genuinely curious where public opinion falls on that particular scale

[Pat Grasso @bluesledmaster]

Why is opening a bottle so difficult to some people, we created 50 different devices to "make it easier"????

[Pat Grasso @bluesledmaster]

Wonder what bears would think if they knew we held a competition to see which one was the fattest every year

When my neighbor's Pomeranian barks it sounds like a 65 year old chain-smoker
