like watching car wreck victims twitch* in their death throes.

Sadly, that did happen but it was Instagram. Story.

Twitter has neural-net-logic bots watching all of Twitler’s potential twigaphones and should be able to identify anything he tweets based on its non compos ration.

Seen elsewhere on Twitter: “This is like the battle of the Ironclads, but it’s a billion-dollar 21st-century communications company vs. a senile potato.”

There’s a new entry in the Trivia section of the IMDb entry for Home Alone 2:

As of January 2021, Donald Trump is the only cast member of Home Alone 2 to both attempt a violent overthrow of the American democratic system and get banned from Twitter in the same week. -

That is pure genius.
I wonder if it will get removed.

Which other cast members attempted either one, just not both in the same week?

That’s huge. Thank fuck.

Can’t be trusted with Twitter. Still has access to the nuclear codes.

At least now we know he can’t just tweet them to all and sundry.

Here’s Twitter’s justification:

Permanent suspension of @realDonaldTrump (twitter.com)

After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.

In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action. Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open.

However, we made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules entirely and cannot use Twitter to incite violence, among other things. We will continue to be transparent around our policies and their enforcement.

The below is a comprehensive analysis of our policy enforcement approach in this case.

Overview

On January 8, 2021, President Donald J. Trump tweeted:

“The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”

Shortly thereafter, the President tweeted:

“To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.”

Due to the ongoing tensions in the United States, and an uptick in the global conversation in regards to the people who violently stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, these two Tweets must be read in the context of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President’s statements can be mobilized by different audiences, including to incite violence, as well as in the context of the pattern of behavior from this account in recent weeks. After assessing the language in these Tweets against our Glorification of Violence policy, we have determined that these Tweets are in violation of the Glorification of Violence Policy and the user @realDonaldTrump should be immediately permanently suspended from the service.

Assessment

We assessed the two Tweets referenced above under our Glorification of Violence policy, which aims to prevent the glorification of violence that could inspire others to replicate violent acts and determined that they were highly likely to encourage and inspire people to replicate the criminal acts that took place at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

This determination is based on a number of factors, including:

• The mention of his supporters having a “GIANT VOICE long into the future” and that “They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!” is being interpreted as further indication that President Trump does not plan to facilitate an “orderly transition”

Hell, that’s been common knowledge for weeks. Orderly transitions take up to eleven weeks to organize and carry out. They don’t just happen.

Someone posted an old tweet thread by a girl whose mom took away her phone. She went on to post from every device she could find, including the refrigerator. I didn’t know you could do that.

So they may soon be able to add “banned from a major appliance” to the HomeAlone2 list.

You know, that’s just gonna be a red flag to Macaulay Culkin…

Now that Twitter has blocked Individual 1’s account, are the old tweets no longer available for historical reference?

@ThelmaLou

No, they vet comments ahead of time. Once it gets posted, it won’t be removed.

Well, just a moment ago I did check, it seems that it was removed.

[ThelmaLou]

Interesting. I’ve proposed many trivia items over the years. You have to go through a vetting process and it takes a while-- sometimes weeks. Some of my items have been accepted and some were rejected. I will say that I’ve never had a trivia item accepted as fast as this one must have been. It was likely an IMDB staffer who did it-- someone who had direct entry into the process. A mere mortal outsider can’t do it (unless someone hacked into the site). Were any of the words spelled with Cyrillic characters?

[Ike_Witt]

Why was it removed? Was it factually incorrect?

[ThelmaLou]

There are a boatload of rules and guidelines for submitting trivia items. You will find them when you go to submit an item.

I really wish Twitter had given as a reason “we wouldn’t want any victims suing us if our Section 230 protections get removed by the government. So, Donald, you made us do it to protect ourselves.”

Amazon has booted Parler off of AWS, and people are complaining they can’t access it.

[digs]

It looks like it’s gone from the Apple app store as well.

You can keep tabs on them with Parlertakes “I look at Parler so you don’t have to.”

A lot of anger, a lot of delusion, and a lot of dawning disillusion as well…

Once they rehost, I would think the existing Apps would not function - and no App Store to get new ones. Hmm…

[jasg]

Also keep thinking about how long we put up with the ‘Fail Whale’. Took years for Twitter to solve capacity and stability.

I have not had good luck in getting either Trivia or Goofs entries in. I’ve had quite a few Quotes accepted.

They are back up. Once they found a new host, they just needed to update their DNS entry to point to it. The app points to ‘www.parler.com’ (or similar) and if that resolves to ‘192.43.23.2343’ (pretend AWS address) or ‘231.99.123.321’ (pretend new host address) is not important.
