In today's episode of "a billionaire bought our neighbour's house and set it on fire", the big blue bird had just called off their developer conference which was set to start in two weeks:

All is good and normal and Twitter. Nothing weird going on.

Among all this chaos, mad respect for the still-current Twitter employees that are tweeting like this in public:

(I'm sorry if I'm a bit obsessed with this topic these days, but working where I work I can't help but to empathize and observe all this shit show with morbid fascination)

Aaaand... they massive firing is starting:

The news say it's going to be about half of their staff. That's over 3k people. Twitter is FULL of twitter employes saying they don't have access to their email anymore:

What a carnage, holy shit.

I'm not going to paste any more because this is seriously fucked up. Twitter is FULL of them.

Thinking of these people.

In the continuing story of "genius" Elon Musk taking over Twitter and then possibly fucking up entirely, apparently you have to give at least 60 days notice of mass layoffs by federal and state law in California, and shockingly enough, Musk didn't do that when he bought to company and planned to start mass layoffs within a week.

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen about the whole Musk Twitter Event because imagine being so bad that John Green, the man who was famously run off Tumblr by literal maniacs editing his post to a serenade to cocks in the Green Cock Incident, considers Twitter to be The Worst Site, ie worse than Tumblr. Insane

They're coming.....

FUCKING SCATTER

You know what? Twitter refugees are welcome here

The bad news? Tumblr is now trending on Twitter.

The good news? It's trending because of posts like these.

God speed.

Perhaps the Great Tumblr Exodus was a good thing after all.

Bernie gives us the advice that's needed.

Less competition means higher prices.
