The matches when we’re not playing well are particularly enjoyable.

From the grave ?
I’ve just discovered a problem with posting directly from Bluesky. If the user who made the post has set their privacy settings to make them only visible to logged in users, then the preview will not work here.
Eva Green is a goddess, just glorious.
Didn’t say I’d read the tweet, merely that it was the only Google search result for your preposterous claim.

It wasnt a claim, it was openly made up.
So why cite it?
You seem more uneasy about my bogus “claim” than a disgusting sex offender not being jailed.
Odd.
Where did I say that I agree with Edwards’ sentence? I haven’t commented upon it at all.
I am definitely concerned about people being stupid enough to believe any old shit they see online, however.
What part of “I made it up” are you having trouble with?
Corrected.
The US Election thread is the perfect example of why tweets should be banned from this site. It has become unreadable due to the amount of time you have to spend waiting for tweets to load and then being taken backwards from the last post you read.

It’s a bit annoying, but it that information available elsewhere in a format that will easily embed?

I think there is an onus on all of us to be more discerning about what we share from Twitter.
A few weeks ago a poster shared a gleeful tweet of a dingy being punctured by French authorities. I’m not a fan of that kind of performative cruelty, but the bigger problem was that the account was an absolute shitshow of racism, antisemitic myths and conspiracy theories. We can’t allow our forum to be used to promote accounts that incite hatred and myth peddling.
When this was pointed out and removed, the poster didn’t offer any apology, no mea culpa, no whoops won’t do it again. They doubled down and went off on some ridiculous twaddle tangent about Hitler inventing X-rays or something.
Elon Musk might be trying to reframe Twitter as an anything goes Wild West of lies and misinformation, but we are right to expect better standards here. While there is no plan to ban Twitter as a source, we will have to take action if people don’t show good judgement in what they share. Nobody is perfect, and mistakes happen, but we expect people to be reasonable and open to working with us to ensure what we share here is decent.
As for the loading times, yes it’s really annoying but I don’t know what the answer is to this. I do think that we could remember that not everything we find on Twitter needs to be shared.

The answer, not just to crap loading times,but to all of that cess pit is to ban it.
Simple as that.
If members of the forum are on X, then they can read whatever they want without putting it on here?
There are plenty of more reputable news sources to quote, if required.
The OP called for X to be banned.
It will eventually happen, but when that is depends on the Mods/Admin.

I never have issues with tweets loading, whether using my work laptop, personal laptop, or my phone.
Do we know what causes this issue? Browser choice? people with slow internet?
