I'm a little bit late, but happy Daylight Savings Time to America or as I like to call it, #Non24 Day!

Today's the day when everyone gets to experience for one day what I experience on an everyday basis. On this day, people you get to feel what it's like when your body clock is forced to wake up an hour earlier and go to sleep an hour earlier.

People who have Non24 have circadian rhythms that aren't sensitive to sunlight so we can't follow normal 24 hour days... not easily at least. My normal day is 26 hours long so every single day I have to go to bed and wake up 2 hours later or it becomes impossible to get any quality sleep.

Mostly it sucks, but there is one limited advantage to having Non24. I'm able to naturally stay awake for 1-2 additional hours without fatigue. This is usually more than negated by the chaos created by not being able to sleep well, but when facing urgent deadlines, the extra hour of clarity gives you more time to be at peak effectiveness.

I'm starting to suspect that Jimmy Carter is immortal.

Well, it looks like Elmo broke his Birdchan toy again. No posts load. None. No feed, no user timelines, no lists, no search... nothing.

It's quite nice really.

@feditips I’m sure it was pretty mild as far as barbed responses go around here. In any case and as someone who runs accounts that are severely shackled to decorum as well as ones where I have some independence, I find the ones where I’m allowed the occasional clap back, are ones I get more respect in.

I trust you know the right boundaries for this account. If you feel the need to occasionally let a user know that your job isn’t to be their punching bag, I expect that most people will get it and respect it because it’s not the norm and you’re doing what you do with the utmost professionalism otherwise.

@mfriess how do you hide just from home? I want to do that, but I can only figure out how to hide across the board so they vanish from lists too.

@thomasfuchs it’s still my primary browser. I’m about half in Firefox and half in Safari.

This is hilarious. Twitter appears to be 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.

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.

Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.

@atomicpoet what does the key mean? Why is calckey calckey?

@halfcocked it's wild that Twitter Blue is so bad that you not only can't give it away, but that it's actually being given to people as punishment.

I've been online for well over 3 decades. I've seen a lot. I ain't seen *this* before.

Tomorrow is gonna suck because #today I went running for the first time in 4 months.
