   On my tweets, attached images seem to have broken between Nov 9 and Nov 11 2014

   From an twitter archive, the images attached to the Nov 9 tweet are still present at the full pbs.twimg.com "media_url" URL, but neither the pic.twitter.com "display_url" nor the t.co link work

     Wheels falling off watch: Apparently much, but not all media on tweets from 2014 and earlier is broken

     This analysis of Musk's followers is somewhat interesting, but IMO would be a lot more interesting if it compared to other mega-follower accounts. My impression bot/spam/inauthentic accounts often follow names https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-x-twitter-follower-data

     Hah. I'd forgotten about that

     (Policy by internet poll would be an absolutely idiotic way to run a social media platform, but, yeah he did say it and do it a couple times)

     👀
     Govt: If the former President had notice of these covert investigative steps, there would be actual harm and concern for the investigation, for the witnesses going forward
     Judge (paraphrased): For this case specifically, not just because Mueller showed he's an obstructive scumbag?
     Govt: 💯

     LOL. Blocking will always be kinda weird on a public website where anyone can sign up unlimited sock accounts, but, yeah, I'm sure this is gonna go GREAT…

     Slightly more sympathy for twitter, but still their fault for not clearing it up before they were in a sanctions hearing front of a federal judge… who is not a twitter user but appears to recognize when the parties are talking past each other

     So a transcript of one of the hearings over the search warrant for Trump's twitter account was unsealed, and boy were there some failures to communicate. Govt asked for something like "all communications related to Trump's account" when they actually wanted communications from Trump or his team regarding his account. As one might imagine, twitter had a lot of communications related to that account…
