@TwitterBlue Hi, I'm a former @tryscroll user who has signed up for Twitter Blue to keep accessing ad free sites. When I click on links inside Twitter to @verge I still see ads. I haven't tried other sites yet. Is this expected?

[Steve Midgley @stevemidgley]

@TwitterBlue @wheelsee Why announce something before it is rolled out? I guess I don't understand product launches any more.

[Steve Midgley @stevemidgley]

@KeithWillWynne @TwitterBlue @tryscroll @TwitterBlue @tryscroll I received an email letting me know that I should stop subscribing to Scroll and start subscribing to Twitter Blue "on iOS, Android, or web" but that doesn't seem to be working. Is this feature rolling out slower than expected or is that email inaccurate?

[Steve Midgley @stevemidgley]

Ok - so I'll bite. @tryscroll is now part of Twitter. I received an email saying I have to sign up for @TwitterBlue to get the benefits of Scroll (ad-free websites). So, I'm here logged into Twitter on a browser and I cannot figure out how to signup for TwitterBlue. Any help?

[Steve Midgley @stevemidgley]

@tryscroll @Twitter Hey - so now that you are shutting down Scroll and switching to be part of @TwitterBlue, how does a user keep your service? I don't seem to be able to sign up for TwitterBlue here on my laptop browser. Is Scroll/TwitterBlue now just available on iOS?

@davidplotz Might I recommend a couple of books to you about con men and miscreants from an earlier age? Yellow Kid Weil and Jack Black https://t.co/i74ExJbgKQ You Can't Win https://t.co/FNq28ee5bW

I'm going to miss @FiveThirtyEight's snake chart when this is all over.

@carlacasilli Yeah - for sure with the phone book we have to vote on in California! But the physical work shouldn't be so time consuming!

We've been a democracy for 228 years - it should take 5 minutes to vote. https://t.co/wgBRyazUdc

Don’t like the candidates? Think your vote doesn’t count? For millennials who are not planning to vote, Vance has a message just for you:

@gatemaster222 @voxdotcom It is reasonable to make it illegal to photograph a ballot. But not taking a shot of yourself w/out ballot!

@OpenStax @OERCommons I love this sentence. So much better than ending w/"please stop immediately & know our lawyers will be contacting you"

FINAL UPDATE: I spent 6 months looking for proof that @realDonaldTrump gives "tens of millions" to charity, as he claims. I didn't find it.

@Rohappy2behere @kimoco @ninaturner @cristela9 VRA ruling was atrocious but doesn't explain N. Hollywood CA long lines. County is to blame.
