being a lawyer seems pretty easy. i mean you just look at the law and apply it. how hard can it be? shouldn’t take more than an hour and a half each week to do it.

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

This is amazing. Elno broke the copyright strike system, so you can just post entire films on Twitter now. 😂

[Matthew Chapman @fawfulfan]

This story is stunning.

In short: Alito himself leaked the Dobbs decision, and not only that, he's leaked his own opinions before, to right-wing litigants, so they could wine and dine other justices, and donate to their causes, to secure their vote. https://t.co/0LobfuibNu

6 minutes after Elon Musk lifted their suspension

This is a very good theory

[Charlie Warzel @cwarzel]

my theory is he really thinks attracting maximum attention to this platform will solve its big logistical problems he created and so he’s gonna do all the attention grabby things he can to gin up max engagement

Even though there was only enough employees to keep Twitter going for a single day, the tweets continued tweeting for eight wondrous nights, leading the sages to declare a miracle

[Navin Johnson @prehstrcforest]

I promise you won’t remember this quote or be able to predict where it’s going

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

Good evening.

Elno fucked this one all the way up. Expect Twitter to crash eminently. He demanded Twitter employees swear loyalty to him or quit.

Reports are that as many as 80 percent of them on mission critical teams did.

Here are the highlights.

Ok I just joined Mastadon. Is anyone else on?

[Zoë Schiffer @ZoeSchiffer]

NEW: The designers leading Elon Musk’s Blue verified project are out, along with the lead web engineer. Many Twitter employees who maintained critical infrastructure have resigned. This is going to look like a very different company tomorrow.

[Navin Johnson @prehstrcforest]

All of you posting final tweets are breaking the one rule of this app we should all know by now: never post.

(I’ll probably delete this tomorrow if the servers still function.)

[Poorly Aged Things @PoorlyAgedStuff]

if twitter dies you cannot find me anywhere else. i put all my eggs in one basket

[Charlie Warzel @cwarzel]

just as a thought experiment: what is a good last tweet?

[Navin Johnson @prehstrcforest]

@unusual_whales This link doesn’t have any actual information. What are they being sued for? They promoted a product—ok—but what’s the theory of liability? Are they arguing fraudulent transfer bc FTX was insolvent when they paid them? Some sort of active involvement in the fraud?

@5iveSolas @williamwolfe Yikes on “contend” but also, did you know Google and Wikipedia are free for everyone to use?

@williamwolfe Paging @jmeacham—Jon Meacham to the podium, please.

@jonwu_ 👋 Senior Associate at a large firm here. Only a few firms charge that much for associates’ time. Totally possible there are an army of lawyers on this billing at that rate, but that would be an astronomical amount of billing and the bankruptcy court would have to approve it.

[Navin Johnson @prehstrcforest]

@jonwu_ Where is that estimate coming from? Are there 100 $1200/hr partners working on this??
