I just signed into Live Journal for the first time in I don't know how many years. They gave me an award while I was away! I feel so special!

When sharing tweets, has anyone else been reflexively deleting all the extra hash that Twitter suddenly started adding to the URLs last month?

I've been doing that for some time in regards to tweets I pick up on other sites with all the marketing tracker, query string parameters garbage that gets attached. Thanks, Obama.

I guess, at least, we're more prepared for it than we were in 2016.

Satirist Blair Erskine posted what she describes as "deranged DM I’ve ever gotten".


IDK who Anthony is or what preceded it, but all that aside, anyone have any idea what this guy thinks he's talking about?
I read it a few times and I'm still going "wut?"

Not sure what's going on. I hadn't heard of or paid attention to any of the people involved.

Apparently two comedians are involved (Blaire Erskine (writer on Jimmy Kimmel, a show I don't watch) & Anthony Walker), plus some data entry type guy (Been). At some point Anthony went to Ukraine-Poland border to "help refugees" (he is also, apparently, has the same level of training as a lifeguard (EMT-B)). I haven't seen what started things, but it appears that Blaire has been calling out that Anthony is cosplaying being a medic in a war zone. Is a combat tourist.

Some dude named Been started harassing Blaire for pointing that out. Also there was something about Blaire "attacking" Anthony when he was "offline". Except: Anthony has been tweeting throughout and only went "dark" after having been in Ukraine/Poland border area for a while.

I've seen some of Blaire's satire videos, but that was all I knew.
Only thing I can think of now is, IDK if this Anthony is sincere or grandstanding, but even if it's the former and Blair did order him an apology, that guy Been is way over the top. and full of himself.

Seems she triggered somebody.
I looked at "Anti-Social Butterfly"'s timeline to see WTF she's so angry about Blaire mentioning getting rape threats. ASB says she's a rape survivor. I know there's a fvckton of trauma from that, and I hope she gets the help she needs, but IDK what her point is there, that rape threats don't count unless she sees them and what? Deems them valid? If threats were taken more seriously, IDK if it would have helped ASB, but it could help somebody. Twitter should taken threats seriously, whether an account is blue check or not.
