Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell.

Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

@laura_nelson @ChristianM_CA alternatively, they could trap all the humans living around the park and evaluate *them*

wow this thread about the ohio state legislature vs the ohio state school board, which is as terrifying as it is entirely f***ing predictable

In Escambia, Florida, someone is trying to ban this children's book about Wilma Rudolph, the African-American sprinter who set world records in running and won gold medals at the 1960 Olympics.

What's so "controversial" about it?...

@dhuman this is much better logic than the flaming lips had for their headphone concerts

@tbquirk @RobertBLevine_ i'm less curious than he is about how a major label service could do much of anything for a jazz community that's currently thriving outside of most major labels' lines of sight

[matty karas has left the building @troubledoll]

@tbquirk fwiw @RobertBLevine_ mentions those failed major label services at the top of his billboard piece, which is focused on specialty services like deutsche grammophon's new classical-only service, which is trying to address a genuine market need. i'm curious how that will play out...

this antisemitic m*sk fanboy (or maybe fangirl, i don't know), meanwhile, remains *not* suspended and continues to tweet poop of his/her own 💩

[matty karas has left the building @troubledoll]

not kosher on newtwitter: negative tweets. making fun of rich white men who currently own twitter

kosher: this joke that (kind of impressively!) squeezes two antisemitic tropes into nine words

"izootop8 hasn’t broken our safety policies," newtwitter politely informs me

[matty karas has left the building @troubledoll]

JFC!!!

edith is a friend and a fantastic songwriter and musician and a good, decent, creative soul, and el*n m*sk IS a poop joke (and a toxic f***ing presence in all universes in which he presents himself)

[Damon K 🎤 @dada_drummer]

This needs to be more of a scandal. Musician Edith Frost made poop jokes at musk’s expense and is thrown off the platform, while self-declared misinformation campaigners are welcomed back on. This is not just absurd it’s deep doo doo

[matty karas has left the building @troubledoll]

this seems pertinent

[The Intercept @theintercept]

Several prominent antifascist organizers and journalists, including antifascist researcher Chad Loder, have had their accounts suspended in the past week, after right-wing operatives appealed directly to Musk to ban them. https://t.co/ekQ2wiuDVp

@NPadillaNYC i don't even enjoy baseball games at yankee stadium, though, to be fair, that might have something to do with my feelings for the home team :)

[matty karas has left the building @troubledoll]

@NPadillaNYC would pay more a few months later. at the very least, when that didn't happen, they should've upgraded us verified fans to those better seats and put our orig seats back on the market for the latecomers. that would make the "fan" part more meaningful, as i told them back then :)

[matty karas has left the building @troubledoll]

@NPadillaNYC lottery was ticketmaster, sorry if that wasn't clear. but bam didn't sell out. and dynamic pricing (evil, yes) makes that roll of the dice a little too roll-y: they didn't give me, a "verified fan," the best available seats but instead held those back in the hope someone else...
