Twitter now defaulting to the "for you" instead of "following" regardless of which you pick because it hates you and everything you love
It's started doing this for me, too
Hey, guess what Twitter! I literally NEVER want to know what porn my casual acquaintances are running around favoriting! Never, not once! It does not make me want to use Twitter more, it makes me want to follow fewer people! I'm not 100% clear on why people are going to Twitter for porn, and the thing is, I don't care! Shouldn't be any of my goddamn business!
Incredible how much worse this dork is making an already-lousy site
There is an option to turn off seeing stuff the people you follow Liked. I know there is an option because I turned it on a long time ago. I only see Tweets and Retweets.
Could not tell you how it's done.
Okay I just went and trawled through the settings menu and I genuinely could not even find the option. I think they've removed it.
"You absolutely WILL know which online person you've never met has a choking fetish, fucking deal with it loser"
I could turn off all sensitive content, I guess, but so much random shit gets flagged as "potentially sensitive" that I feel like I'd accidentally block the Associated Press or something
Theoretically, according to a quick Google, you can select every tweet showing up because someone Liked it as "Not interested in this tweet" and eventually this will stop serving it
But who knows if that still works. I know that wasn't the method I had used, anyway.
I got trapped in a conversation yesterday with the kindly American house husband guy who lives on my block and constantly dotes on his daughter, always says hello, is generally friendly if a little loud?
Where somehow my political stance (socialism) came up and somehow that uncorked him like a bottle
Just spilled out ten full minutes, trapping my dog and I in front of my laneway, about his realization that the mainstream US media was a lie, have you heard about the World Economic Forum, how can Trump be racist if he dated Black chicks???
One guess which website started his descent into insane QAnon horseshit!
At least he's several doors down but I have to pass his house to collect the mail and maaaaaan
I basically was Gritted Teeth Emoji while desperately willing my dog to pull me in the laneway (unfortunately, too well trained to do so) until he started bringing up anti-mask shit, at which point I effectively yelled N95S WORK, MASKS WORK, MY DOG NEEDS TO EAT DINNER, GOODBYE

It's amazing to me that everybody like this assumes if they start talking about their beliefs that everybody agrees with them.
I had somebody in my neighborhood describe their house as the first blue lives matter flag, and I was immediately ready to leave that conversation.

One day I realized you can scroll through your liked videos on YouTube (I've liked 2,196!) and went back like a decade. Pretty fun ride, content sure was different back then.
A little late to the knife conversation but for cutting tough root vegetables like sweet potatoes but a friend of mine gave me an ulu knife like this one
and it is the best for veggies of all kinds, after I made a dished cutting board for it.

An Uber I can never escape, because I bought a house I love in the suburbs
So my dog is a cattle dog. This is a breed known for their energy, intelligence, etc
My dog will straight up eat a rock, go to bed, get up long enough to vomit the rock as an offering for me, then go back to bed. Fortunately he didn't try to eat a rock again after that as far as I'm aware. I have legit caught him raiding the pantry for whole, unwashed, skin-on russet potatoes.

We had a bunch of small rocks at our last place and when Ivy was a puppy she continually would bring "pet rocks" inside
We'd have to pry them out of her mouth to get them and throw them back out there - she never ate them, she just liked to hold them
This prompted her to work very hard on making her jaw muscles strong and now it is near impossible to get something out of her mouth when she clamps down
This dog has splintered soup bones with her chewing
I dread the day they kill lists, because that's the only thing keeping Twitter functional for me. The second I'm expected to follow everyone I want to see tweet is the second I stop using the site

Luckily my dog's teeth are in not-great shape from when he was experiencing homelessness, so if I have to get something out of his mouth, it's not much trouble.
Our friends have a mini-toy poodle that beats him at tug-of-war.

It doesn’t weigh much because it’s a plush toy, but Rex pretty much refuses to go for a walk without carrying this gigantic candy cane toy. It’s hard to tell in the photo but it’s almost 3 feet long. He looks completely ridiculous carrying it around with him. It’s not uncommon for people in their cars to slow down and point at the absurd dog.

oh wow. the twitter page actually forces you to "for you" every time you refresh. this is fucking dogshit!
also twitteriffic (the original twitter app, before there was a real twitter app) confirmed that it has been permanently shut down and will not return due to changes in the API rules

Did you know Jordan Peterson's daughter cured her arthritis by eating an all Beef diet?!? That's what the new guys believes at my work.
Christ...
It also cured her depression and sent her father into a state where they put him in a medically induced coma.
I know of a guy who ate nothing but McDonald's beef patties for two months, as a science experiment on his own body. He ate like 16 a day (he wanted to eat 18 or so for the calories but struggled to get em down).

His cholesterol went down, think he lost a little bit of weight, I'm waiting to see the full details, which he will probably make another four hour video about.
The man is a somewhat professional athlete and has a masters in sports science and a masters in human nutrition who has previously lived on zero-carb (and all carb, and anything else you can think of) diets, so it's not quite as insane as it sounds. I think he'll probably say what he always says which is that the success or failures of specific diets is almost entirely based on your own body makeup/genetics/situation/etc and therefore what works for one person doesn't for another at all, and we don't know why.
The funny thing is that his surname is MacLeod, so he's now Big Mac.

Yep. I used Twidere on Android because the Android Twitter app kept forgetting where I was in a timeline and just kept punting me back to the top. Looks like I had an 8 year run of being able to do the bare minimum of viewing tweets in the order they were tweeted.
So I guess that's it. The only time I log in is when clicking a link on an embedded tweet here to view a Tanuki video or something. I like to think it's costing him bandwidth at least if I block all the promoted tweets.

I've been using nitter ( https://github.com/xnaas/nitter-instances ) to read the feeds of a couple of people I'm interested in following, which seems to be unaffected. I presume it's pulling from the website itself.
There's no way to organise it into a feed or otherwise use it to interact but it's handy if you're primarily a passive reader of tweets.
