Sounds like something that would happen at an Elon Musk owned company.

"nitter.net" had been a great workaround to read twitter without logging in. 
Unfortunately, that seems to have stopped working.

And yes, I've been using one of many nitter mirror sites to read this myself as I don't use Twitter.

I wonder if they are still smarting from Bari Weiss making so much money from martyring herself over her colleagues not kissing her ass often enough.

The bigoted obsessions of "respectable" columnists and journalists has done so much damage.

It’s anyone’s guess what will come of this.

You may remember the years of hubbub surrounding Crazy Days and Nights, a salacious gossip blog with a mysterious owner, a site which, for some reason, had longstanding rumors claiming said owner was RDJ. The real "Enty" was exposed last year, via a lawsuit more interesting than anything ever on the blog itself.

He was having tantrums for hours over being called out for his shallowness and whining.

I'm not going to post it but Olivia Nuzzi - always a socialite friend to white supremacists like Milo, etc. - is out there sounding like Steve Bannon, crowing that 'establishment media' have nor reported on Biden's infirmity enough. She seems to have forgotten she writes for New York Magazine.

Every Very Online media talking head keeps running around frenzied saying 'no one is talking about/acknowledging this,' when in reality every major media outlet has been pushing it for months. What they mean is that they wanted Biden's age to be the story they could run on to handicap him, and they're frustrated the party and its voters haven't really accepted it or abandoned him. There's not going to be a primary challenge. There's not going to be anyone else because the majority of Dem voters don't want what the media wants. And while this has been beyond infuriating to watch, as I said before this is also all a bit too early and Biden is not Clinton. And we've got over eight months to go.
