I can’t even be snarky about this. This is just tremendously sad and only the beginning of what Twitter’s slow cringe death means for the greater internet.
More vandalism from @elonmusk. Twitter has now removed all media posted before 2014. Thats - so far - almost a decade of pictures and videos from the early 2000s removed from the service.
For example, here’s a search of my media tweets from before 2014. teapawt.net/search?q=From%3Atomcoa…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Images before/around 2014 are still saved on Twitter/X's servers, however, the t.co links appear to be broken at the moment.
The famous Ellen DeGeneres selfie from the 2014 Oscars is currently missing from her tweet.

But the original file is still available on their servers.

This is truly excellent. It reins in a lot of the wilder claims around GPT-3, and just as importantly, it offers a lot of great language to understand and communicate about what is Actually Happening. The "blur tool" analogy is so clean.

Right now the timeline feels kind of like the day those llamas escaped, except this time the llamas are loose in Twitter HQ and are trying to shut the company down

Much like the Battle of Yavin serves as a convenient chronological anchor for outside observers that doesn't work as an in-universe calendar, the end of Google Reader allows the deeply online to reminisce about the moment before social timelines and algorithmic amplification

The United States could have had way more monkeypox vaccine this year.
The shortage was caused in part because HHS failed early on to ask that bulk stocks of the vaccine it already owned be bottled for distribution, according to multiple officials. nytimes.com/2022/08/03/us/po…

The Biden administration facilitated the needless and preventive suffering of Queer people while 300,000 FDA-approved vaccines were left sitting unused. This is the homophobia that should leave us outraged. nytimes.com/2022/07/25/nyreg…

It’s 10:58am - the official winter solstice and the shortest day of the year. Days start to get longer tomorrow, and sunset is already 3 minutes later than it was last week. We made it!

With @wirecutter/@nytimes management refusing to come to the table to reach a deal, 100% of our unit will be striking from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday. The best way you can support us is by boycotting @wirecutter from 11/25-11/29: wirecutterunion.com/support-…
