Los Angeles mayoral race! 

[chef's kiss] First woman mayor of LA! Los Angeles County and City — you kicked so much ass this election. You showed what's possible when you get really pissed off! We could all change everything if we got as pissed!

More birb site code breaking. 

Tweets from locked accounts are now visible on timelines of people who don't follow the locked accounts / retweetable in some circumstances. Great job on that microservices removal.

So. Much. Flu.

If you haven't gotten it, get you flu shot. Please. Yes, it isn't 100%, but if you get the flu after getting the shot, your flu will most likely be less severe.

It's everywhere, youse guise. Protect yourself and those who have immune systems that aren't up to par. Wear a mask. I'm asking nicely.

Brah. Either Rachel Weisz is teeny or Keanu Reeves has massive hands. I have a tiny waist nowadays and she's my height. :blobcatthinkingeyes:

This really cool birdsite thread describes a discovery that pushed the date for the earliest known writing in the Basque language back by a full millennium.

Basque is fascinating for many reasons, but among them it's a language isolate: it is not understood to be part of a family of relatives with any other language. Aside from loanwords it has no relationship to other European languages!

Sadly, not that anyone cares, but Chris Evans is off the internet boyfriend list for my little group. Sad that he's just as predictable as most 40 year old ultra famous guys. Oh well.

The microservices will stop until morale improves.

@trinsec Suggestion — could we get a count UP for our characters used in a toot considering most instances use 500? Doing math to keep mine to 500 characters is honestly taxing to my poor brain. There's a reason I'm in medicine and not physics like I originally planned. :blobcatscience:

Actual critical security info if you use Twitter and 2FA 

With 2FA being borked you have two options IF you're still logged in.

— Go in to your settings > security > 2FA > backup codes and write those down in a safe place.

— Switch to using an authentication app, which currently works but do we have faith that it will continue to do so?

This is such a fucking disaster. The software I supported in the early '00s was a trash fire that dealt with ACH transactions and we never borked anything this badly.

More fucking around and finding out in your production environment on the birb. 

I'm sorry but... Breaking 2FA with your bright idea to turn off all microservices on one of the biggest social media sites in the world. That's... :blobcatjustright:

Who needs a development environment, right youse guise? 

A crossover between modifying your production environment and the birb site. It's pretty great.

Constantine with Keanu Reeves. I doubt I'll finish it tonight. This is starting out with a hell of a concept. Nazis in Mexico.

I wish the late husband was here for comic canon check. This isn't my branch.

I'm letting this go out to the timeline because this is the absolute best thing to come from this film. That is a hefty bite. I'm not sure who I'm more envious of.

Man, Pacino absolutely could still get it in 1997. Lbr, he can still get it in 2022 if you like GILF energy.

Also, it's interesting how in so many films Reeves' ancestry is thoroughly whitewashed. I wonder how he feels about it.
