All the people spreading hate in the #discgolf community at Reddit, Youtube comments, twitter, elsewhere, should listen to this interview from Paige. Look at yourself in the mirror and think about what you are doing.

Perhaps I'll find out if twitter regains any of its former utility. "twitter search" "search" #twittersearch
screen snip of twitter search window with "Twitter search" text inside then text of response (white text over blue background) "Something went wrong, but don't fret -- it's not your fault." Below that another search window snip with "search" typed in and first option has magnifying glass next to "search" with "3,783 Tweets in the last hour" beneath it

Disappointed @DiscGolfProTour recently contorted their FPO/MPO eligibility criteria to exclude Natalie Ryan. It's difficult to see past the absurdity of a professional sport that doesn't monitor performance enhancing drugs attempting to enforce multi-year hormone level criteria.

Also difficult to see past the cruelty of creating a pseudo-exception for transition prior to puberty while states ban the treatment. @DiscGolfProTour would do well to revert to the previous FPO/MPO standards and grow the sport instead of excluding certain people from it.

Here's a gif showing a series of USGS Shakemap intensity layers to illustrate how the four largest quakes were situated in time and space.

Confused about earthquakes in Turkey? Third HUGE shallow quake occurred just about 2 hours ago. It would have been devastating enough on its own. I'll leave it to the seismologists to say whether an aftershock or not, but clearly there are a lot of them and some are very strong.
USGS map with 3 large quakes in Turkey highlighted. First was M7.8, second was M6.7 in the same general area, third was M7.5 was about 95 km north of the first two.

It's always been easy for me to dismiss the geologically absurd notion of California falling into the sea. Less absurd may be far too much of it washing into the sea.

Hilarious and sad -- it's like watching Gomez Addams crash a train full of cash with a train full of Teslas setting fire to whole transfer station full of dumpsters

UPDATE: Investors shorting Tesla are rallying on Twitter in support of Elon tweeting. They do not want Elon to stop because his tweets are "critical" to Tesla's brand destruction.

In case the value of twitter during disasters degrades to the point of imperceptible utility, I've joined @ai6yrham @[email protected] on Mastodon. He's proven to be extraordinarily adept at sifting through chaff, pointing us to the freshest, most accurate information available.
