Twitter is fucked

Let's all pray it's permanently gone poopy plops.

Hope not. I really like it because I block anyone who says anything I don't want to see about various issues or whatever. I just want gaming laffs, shmup chat, China news and AestheticsJapan. It's great.

It went down during TOTP, FFS!

They're probably doing the big update.

We can just do Twitter here if you miss it so much.

Yep, seems to work.

Hah, it's ok, this is just the universe being mean to me after, for I think the first time ever, I made a post that linked to a Tweet.

I'm sure it'll be back soon.

Funnily enough, earlier I was fantasising about the operators of Twitter suddenly packing everything away and saying 'nah, can't be arsed anymore'.

If this is as a direct result, maybe I should resume fantasising about Pete Waterman going on a tour of the Shippams factory and being accidentally minced.

Maybe Trump has used it to declare war with Russia, to try and prove he isn't Putin's puppet, and the 'deep state' have shut it down while they get a tranquiliser into the fucking idiot?

How does a site this fuckin huge fuck it up so badly

Also in like a year will as many young people leave Twitter as they did Facebook, leaving it as another platform for dying boomers to shout at each other

It had a wobble the other day where all the retweet/reply buttons disappeared.

The fact the front end Web app is behaving but failing to load anything suggests a backend/infra issue.

I think if it turned out that you, of all people, had the Magic Finger, then we'd all be fucked. (Fingered.)

I really was kind of hoping in vain it was gone for good.  I'm not alone, it seems.  If all social media were to disappear entirely overnight, how long do you reckon it'd take for us all to re-adapt?  Couple of weeks, I reckon.

Twit 2

Twitter is a cesspool brimming with the mephitic effluent of human nature, where otherwise reasonable people gargle strains of pure shit into AIDS-broth. The entire enterprise is as tainted as a sex offender's skidmarked boiler suit. Any glimmers of worth are cinders in a volcano of broiling waste. It's Peter Bradshaw's sullen love child; it's Graham Linehan's sink after he's screamed at the plug hole; it's an irradiated marmoset pinging its way through a forest of pubes, before gouging its eyes out on a set of Argos twigs.

I've said it before, but sod the environment: It's Twitter that is actually going to cause the collapse of human civilisation.

It's almost 10 years (29 Jul 2009) since David Cameron made his only useful contribution to public life with his utterance that "The trouble with Twitter, the instantness of it – too many twits might make a twat."

Yep, horrible man.
