“This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself. The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying. In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right. The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in. This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS. Unbelievable. It's amateur hour. #TwitterDown #MastodonMigration #DDOS #TwitterFail #SelfDDOS A mostly still movie of a Twitter feed showing a rate limited error message and a jiggling scrollbar indicating repeated attempts to load a resource. Firefox network console showing 10 requests to twitter zooming by per second.”

Truly a hall of fame commercial, this alone should've brought Kmart back to dominance

The more I learn about the Mongols, the less impressed I am. Of the land they conquered, the places of actual value (light green and purple) they lost control of like 15 minutes after Genghis died. The rest was empty steppe lands. I’ll give them credit for smacking around the Arabs though. #history image

Today I learned that one of Safelite's founders is named Bud Glassman. Like for real.
