"One former Twitter engineer likened the service’s current state to Wile E. Coyote, the Looney Tunes cartoon character, as he runs off the edge of a cliff. Though he may still be running in midair for some time, once he looks down, he drops like a stone." https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/18/technology/elon-musk-twitter-workers-quit.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur
#Twitter faces collapse as engineers exit
@JenniferMorency it's like a great big game of Jenga. When that final critical piece goes it all comes tumbling town.

@fibonaccigirl he's doing a good job 'demonetizing' the whole of Twitter. Bankruptcy looms.
@MuireannNic Many congratulations on your award last night! Well deserved.
@skiptomyloulou Well done! You managed to screw everyone except us and our mates. And I don't think they even noticed!

I've come on mastodon to share a piece about mastodon, which sounds like the kind of cannibalistic self-referentialism that started mad cow disease https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/nov/16/could-this-be-twitter-without-the-toxic-slurry-my-week-on-mastodon

Trinity College is home to one of the world's most beautiful libraries. Inside is The Long Room, which contains 200,000 historic volumes.

@oldbritishtelly@mastodonapp.uk One of my all-time favourites is Clochemerle [1972], from the novel by Gabriel Chevallier. Thank goodness they released it on DVD a few years ago!
The Banshees of Inisherin - spoiler
@dup_online@mastodon.ie here's the visual summary... 😱🤣😇
@AnneTT likewise. Sunbury tonight, Chertsey tomorrow and possibly Weybridge on Thursday if I feel like it.
This is such a great story!! 🐕

@AnneTT I like the "I am insured" bit. Stedman is very musical in its way but a pig to fix if someone goes wrong 😉
@bagpie @r_mccormack I live in Surrey! We went to #Orkney in June and were a bit disappointed at the lack of any #folk music there. But it was a beautiful place to explore.
@bagpie @r_mccormack I think Dubliners have discovered they have a country nearby rather than just Marbella or Tenerife
