I'm guessing Twitter hasn't updated for you yet?

Here at my office it's fine. I haven't been upgraded here yet.

At home, where the upgrade has happened, I no longer have the option to "copy link". In fact, trying to embed a tweet takes you to a whole different page to "help" you, but also maintain Twitter's ownership of the tweet.

You should have a "Sneak a peek at the new Twitter" ad in the upper right of your Twitter page. That's the new shit coming and they remove the "copy tweet" option.

I snuck a peak, and copied this URL from a tweet, so I cannot tell what's changing. Ah, I see it now. You use "Copy link to tweet"

I do not. I click on the tweet, then copy the URL out of my browser.

Dorsey said Twitter will also stop running issue ads, which Twitter characterizes as ads that "advocate for or against legislative issues of national importance."
Sort of. He said that he wouldn't allow ads promoting the Green New Deal, but he'll allow ads to combat global warming. I suspect he'll use this caveat to censor the messages he doesn't like while allowing the ones he does. Jack's pretty horrible.

Twitter boss says he's moving to Africa (but only for 6 months)

The best part of the article is this bit:
"Africa will define the future (especially the bitcoin one!).
HA! No shit!

There are a lot of indicators that an emerging Africa is going to fuck up the world, their CO2 output is going to rival India and China's in 20 or 30 years.

Bert Kreischer asked his followers what celebs have blocked them and it started a thing.

I'm pretty sure Stranger has been blocked by half of the Cleveland sports world.

"Jizz" is trending on Twitter right now.

It's not what you think, as you'll see below, but "hi im paul" kills it with the tweet.
