@theshawwn: I am preparing to release a notebook where you can play chess vs GPT-2. If anyone wants to help beta test it: 1. visit https://t.co/CpWrFvtnY2 2. open in playground mode 3. click Runtime -> Run All 4. Scroll to the bottommost cell and wait 6 minutes If you get stuck, tell me.
@atomicthumbs: Sonos states on their website that "sustainability is non-negotiable," and that they design products to minimize impact, but I work at an e-waste recycler and have demonstrable proof this is false. Sonos's "recycle mode" intentionally bricks good devices so they can't be reused.
@americanpublish: Proud to join 125+ other organizations to oppose a costly proposed Administration policy that would undermine scientific discovery, American jobs, & our global competitiveness. Read the coalition letter: https://t.co/Lm8gDO56MG @americanpublish @AmericanCancer @globalIPcenter
@garius: It is election season. The world is busy and rubbish. But it is also Christmas. So take a breather and let me tell you a story about London, trains, love and loss, and how small acts of kindness matter. I'm going to tell you about the voice at Embankment Tube station.
@theamycoop: A guy who was with us at Fishmongers Hall took a 5' narwhale tusk from the wall and went out to confront the attacker. You can see him standing over the man (with what looks like a white pole) in the video.
I've seen some debate on here about 'cancel culture', and there is a pretty good example of it happening on Twitter more-or-less now (or I guess it's probably old news in internet-time).
Here is Amanda Palmer's Original thread:

Here is the perspective of the "the guardian's music editor" (not actually the music editor, but she is the woman Amanda Palmer's tweets allude too as the music editor):

(the actual music editor also weighed in https://twitter.com/ben_bt/status/1197568113535070208)
It's pretty clear that there is an internet pile-on going down. Here is just a few of many examples:

Palmer's husband Neil Gaiman isn't escaping scrutiny either:

Some unrelated anti-Palmer stories cropping up:

So my question is: is this the cancel culture everyone is worried about? Is twitter going 'too far'? Or is Amanda Palmer getting what she deserved?
I'm honestly on the fence. Give me your thoughts.

@juddlegum: 1. UPDATE: So in response to my report that The Daily Wire is gaming Facebook with a network of 14 large pages Facebook released a new statement. Facebook says these are "real pages run by real people" Facebook is wrong and I have receipts https://t.co/z5s3LsOMm3

@ophirharpaz: 1/4] Ok this is really funny, check this out. I was in the process of booking a flight via @OneTravel. Trying to make me book ASAP, they claimed: "38 people are looking at this flight". Whoa, 38 is a lot, I have to hurry up.
@grummz: This hurts. But until Blizzard reverses their decision on @blitzchungHS I am giving up playing Classic WoW, which I helped make and helped convince Blizzard to relaunch. There will be no Mark of Kern guild after all. Let me explain why I am #BoycottBlizzard
