Today in Event Planning: issues every hotel in the world must have. Bad Floorplans. All hotels must feature floorplans that are not to scale, missing doors and pillars, provide incorrect measurements, arcane iconography (without legends) and do not line up with each other.

This is the Twitter Status Page. If you cannot read this tweet, the last engineer at Twitter finally peaced out.

Elon tweeting about how there's never been more engagement is sort of like firing Scotty and his team, overloading the warp core, then bragging about how fast you're going.

Savin' this for the Twitter funeral.

Question for all y'all looking for Twitter alternatives: do any of them offer anything like tweetdeck, with support for scheduling and multiple users under one account? All the popular picks seem to lack even an API.

Allow me to let you all in on a little secret: There's a little bit of Sonic the Hedgehog in all of us. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_hed…

.@Succinct_Punchy on the last one

Alright, time for all those platforms and blogs that link to Twitter to ban Twitter then. I'm sure that wouldn't backfire on Twitter whatsoever! Elon's dumber than a box of rocks. Time to up and move, speedrun community. This is the signal that it's all over for Twitter.

By the way, it's only gonna be a matter of time before Elon realizes that YouTube and Twitch compete with Twitter as well.

Hey TeamYouTube, this is not profanity in the thumbnail. Stop flagging videos as having profanity that don't have any.

Arbitrary ceilings on leaderboards don't just discourage new runners, it gatekeeps those with disabilities who may struggle to get a record time. This is a hobby where all are welcome to participate, no matter your skill level.

So… ludwig sets up a charity speedrunning event, hand selects a couple dozen steamers, and it is entirely white dudes. Come on, the community expects better in 2024. It completely undermines efforts like Frame Fatales and UBAF, IMO.

I'm glad to see ludwig taking the criticism seriously, and look forward to seeing the full roster. I also agree that the criticism regarding what qualifies as a speedrunner is unacceptable. Anyone who enjoys and participates in speedrunning is a runner, full stop.

and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad.
