@antipodean Terrible news, he's been in the best form of his career.
At least, it's not longer.

@No-Quarter said in Musk & Twitter:
Twitter had some teething issues when Musk took over while they tried to remove all the terrible code and activist bullshit. It's now undoubtedly far superior than it was before, and it's nice that arbitrary bans for incorrect opinions appear to have stopped.
For me, he should focus next on removing the porn accounts and addressing a recent issue where people are posting unrelated stuff in the replies as it takes away from the conversation. I.E. people are tracking viral tweets and just trying to promote their own content in the replies instead of responding to the original post.
I'm a fairly avid Twitter user, although read way more than post (who wants to hear my opinions after all...) and the user experience is way worse now than it was before. The bots were bad but the porn messages and destruction of conversations by prioritising blue tick click bait accounts in replies is painful. I think some of the changes are positive but i'd be hard pushed to describe the overall change as positive. I think Twitter has an identity crisis, its user base has been static for a long time and i don't see how it ever justified its valuation.
Apparently NZ has been asking for censorship recently too. Seems like the new government is pretty much in lock step with the old government when it comes to suppressing free speech

@Victor-Meldrew many questions...was it dead, or a pet...I mean, seagulls usually dont just hang around that close...maybe the bird was part of a honey trap?
I actually googled to see is there was a seagull fetish out there somewhere and this came up..... Reminds me of some of the Magaluf crowd who holidayed in Cornwall post-pandemic
@Duluth said in Highlanders 2024:
In general I think all the teams should put more up on social media/youtube.
Yep, a good portion of the Warriors hype train is down to social media, for some reason rugby has been useless at it.
@Kiwiwomble from what I understand the franchises were free to do their own but all decided to sign on with Classic.

Interesting that Aaron Cruden turned down an SOS call from the Crusaders after their 10 woes this year.
When did this happen ? It is the First I have heard about it.
That almost made me throw up in my own mouth, it's bad enough he has the stain of being a Cane and a Poo without adding being a Crusader as well.

To save laundry costs we subsidised the players purchasing their own jerseys, with whatever numbers/ letters they wanted on the back.
What is two dickheads think they're Dan Carter and want #10?
Just two? They get what they ask for, it hasn't been a problem yet.
Ah right playing numbers stay the same. Confused by having "whatever numbers ... they wanted"
