So if we get a big forest fire today, is that when we yell “Bingo”? #earthquake #HurricaneHilary

Confirmed: Yes, Apple and Google require social media apps to have a block feature: From Apple App Store guidelines: "The ability to block abusive users from the service." So, X/Twitter should not be able to remove the block feature.

So I can still see Tweetdeck on my desktop. I'm guessing it will go away as soon as I refresh the page? Basically I'm good until my next Windows update.

So Tweetdeck is totally borked and I find myself on actual Twitter for the first time in years. This UI is awful, how do you people manage over here? If I'm stuck with Twitter.com, I think I'm finally out. Hoping it's temporary. #FingersCrossed

I'm also a little surprised that the content reporting feature even gets a response these days...even if it is just a bot that denies all violation reports.

Twitter used to be a go-to source for breaking news for me. I am capable of parsing out questionable reports from verified ones, so while imperfect, I found it useful. Yesterday I could not escape the barrage of graphic content while I tried to learn about a tragic event. (1)

Have they no loved ones to call and tell that they lived and that they love them? 2. Who wants to run a platform that monetizes gory, graphic imagery of a tragedy for multitudes. That is not news. That is fetish. 5

I miss what this place was. I mourn for what our smart phones have turned us into sometimes. I miss a world where going to the mall wasn't scary. /The end

THREAD: A STORY: When I was working for the Department of Veterans Affairs as the supervisor of the San Diego VA Health System Call Center as a GS-9, I wanted to create a monthly customer service award. Kind of like an “employee of the month”. 1/

I am well aware that anything can fail given the right circumstances...I am genuinely in awe of how quickly this is devolving, though. I'm wondering if there is even enough cash in the company to make good on all the severance packages, they pushed folks in to today?
NEW: Twitter just alerted employees that effective immediately, all office buildings are temporarily closed and badge access is suspended. No details given as to why.
