I saw "everyone who doesn't like Taylor Swift is ontologically MAGA" today so that was wild.

☝️ mad

Honestly, I'm willing to believe Aaron misclicked. But I'm less willing to believe it because he waited a year to say so and permabanned a trans woman who caught the "misclick" to begin with

Tweet from @tiannelisex: people get cooked on twitter and start tweeting stuff like "what should I have for dinner 😩" to seem unbothered 😭

Okay I know the "you can't breathe with a mask on" thing is bogus but there's no way someone can breathe with 15 on at once

I will also direct the dev team to make a feature so you can get an easily scrollable version of an argument between people who are using quotes in an annoying way.

Bluesky: We want you to moderate yourselves as you see fit.
Also Bluesky: No not like that!
