Today is Julia Roberts birthday! 55 years ago MLK and Coretta Scott King paid for her parents hospital bill after she was born. Can’t stop thinking about this since I read it. Here she is talking about it with @GayleKing

Martin Luther King Jr paying for her birth is still a little known fact that sends me twitter.com/WrittenByHanna…

Spot on, and that's not just conjecture: I worked at Reddit. Reddit tried being the free speech platform, and then I and many other people had to spend years cleaning it up just to get women and advertisers to consider coming back.

Here it is: Twitter engineers were told today to *print out* their last 30 to 60 days of code, so they could show it to Elon Musk himself. Then they were told wait, no, actually, please shred all that code you just printed out. Subscribe to read ➡️ platformer.news/p/elon-takes-o…

Just to give you an idea of how many things Twitter has written code for: Desktop browser, mobile browser/pwa, Android, iOS, support website, blog, cms for those, their font, backend, server/container infra, moderation, HR, advertising, and any custom devtools to make those.

In typical fashion, half the breaking news about what is happening at Twitter, as posted on Twitter, turns out to be false. These are not data engineers: they’re pranksters, pretending to have been fired. It works: I see this tweet quoted as source across my feed.

For every 20 people on tech Twitter sharing only a “find me at [social network] too” I see one sharing their blog url or RSS feed, or vowing to post one. I understand why but part of me wonders if we haven’t learned anything.

You can be a cop and hurt or even kill people, and you almost certainly won’t be fired. But if you have an Only Fans? You’re OUT, ladies! Because the police hold people to MORAL STANDARDS 🙄
