Heard from a Twitter employee that on Friday, a company holiday in the U.S. leading into a weekend, a Slack message was sent to all employees asking for help identifying verified accounts guilty of impersonation. Just in case you were wondering how desperate it's getting.#Twitter #TwitterBlue #ElonMusk #Impersonation #Verification #TrustAndSafety

Not only that, but the day after the launch of the $8 Twitter Blue check marks, a list was shared internally indicating that only 8 impersonations had been found thus far. I feel like I found 8 myself, and I don't even work there.#Twitter #TwitterBlue #ElonMusk #Impersonation #Verification #TrustAndSafety

I have meaningful disagreements with how Twitter's former trust and safety head Yoel Roth has handled this whole episode, but what Elon Musk is doing to him right now is reprehensible. And if you think Musk wouldn't do the same to you, you're delusional. Thread: #ElonMusk #YoelRoth #TrustAndSafety #ContentModeration #CommunityManagement #TwitterFiles #CMGR

Working for Musk is like working for Donald Trump. If convenient for his purposes, he'll sell you out, shortly after praising you. No self-respecting community, moderation, trust, and safety pro can work for Musk in good conscience at this point. Thankfully, most of us are against him.

I've read a lot of the private conversations that Musk has leaked, and what I have read is generally unremarkable. They are the conversations moderators have when they make decisions. We joke, we vent, we try to find the logic to apply. That's the job.

Musk's comments have this insidious nature where they suggest that people who work in this field must surrender their humanity. They should not have public feelings or make public comments. They should not be engaged politically. Otherwise, they are biased. This chain of thoughts dehumanizes us. Musk is throwing Roth to a pack of uneducated wolves, and will shrug his shoulders if something bad happens. Unacceptable.

When I joined CNN and they did my background check, the month I graduated high school was scrutinized and corrected. So, I guess the requirements to join CNN are a bit stricter than the House of Representatives, then. 🙃https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/27/politics/george-santos-democrats-gop-leadership/index.html#GeorgeSantos #HouseRepublicans #USPolitics #Congress

Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood is a lot of fun. It has a smaller footprint than immersive lands at this and other parks, so I am sure the crowds are going to be intense once it opens, but it is a great addition.More photos in thread.#SuperNintendoWorld #SuperNintendoWorldHollywood #UniversalStudiosHollywood #MarioKart #BowsersCastle #ThemeParks #MushroomKingdom

"Managers were recently told to provide a list of people who ought to be promoted, says one former staff member. ... Little did they realise they were signing their own death warrant: many of those managers were subsequently fired and replaced by those they’d recommended"Musk is like every toxic leadership trait rolled up into one man.https://inews.co.uk/news/pressure-cooker-elon-musk-twitter-2196309#ElonMusk #Leadership #Twitter

I was sitting in Patrick's playpen, looked to my left and noticed this horse's head.#Babies #Movies #Parenting #TheGodfather

This is going to sound made up, but it's not: Right after I posted that horse head photo, I found him chewing on this. He's taken it out of a very specific portion of a shelf two days in a row.#Moviea #TheGodfather #FrancesFordCoppola

Simple truth: When you say "nazis welcome," more of them show up. Sooner or later, that's all your platform is known for. And when you're allowing nazis to raise funding via your platform, with you joining in the profits, that reality will come even more quickly.https://substack.com/@hamish/note/c-45811343
