I asked AI to draw images of Elon Musk being carried to hell by an army of cat ghosts. Now I want to turn them into t-shirts, or perhaps a nice quilt. #TwitterAPI #AI

The late 1990s, everyone was listening to the Offspring, Blink 182 and a smattering of Alanis. Oh yeah, and watching Friends - which explains why me and my best friend looked like Ross and Chandler. #ThrowBackThursday

🧵1/ Musk is making Twitter much less transparent, much less accountable, & thus more vulnerable to manipulation. Many of the often poorly resourced activists & academics using the API to tackle foreign influence ops will no longer be able to. Governments should worry #TwitterAPI
