my theory is they wanna get rid of avatars because it shows you who made the post. they're hoping it won't be as noticeable when they try to sneak in some content you didn't sign up for, e.g. promoted posts, popular or suggested posts, deceptively presented ads.

i don't think they would explicitly phase out the following feed, but i can definitely see them moving shit around in the coming months, trying to make that view progressively harder to find and use in favor of algorithmic ranking and/or paid content

Reblog to make him lose another 200 billion, like to make him lose 1 billion

for the people doomblogging in the notes:

this isn't a "drop in the ocean fine" situation, 200 bil is already over half of his fortune lost... and he's not even done losing money yet! he's got a ton of lawsuits left to go through, owes Google money for trying to rent-dodge, destroyed Twitter's remaining brand value by rebranding to X, is playing lawsuit chicken with Microsoft as a direct result, and will have to pay off Twitter's debt... and shows no signs of even pausing to consider the stupidity of his decisions, especially as he's already plotting out loud to make a paypal alternative that breaks multiple international laws.

whatever he has left is nowhere near enough to cover the debt he's currently in and unless he somehow gets it forgiven or magically earns more than he's losing, there's a countdown over his head running down until the IRS personally comes after him.

unless his last remaining braincell wakes up and he hits the brakes, we might actually see someone speedrun going from richest man in the world straight to poverty, and you better believe i wanna see that :D

GO FOR THE FINISH LINE, MUSKY BOY!

you should get paid for having to read dumb shit on your posts

hold up im reading more about the lionfish thing and this one island in Honduras has had such a huge problem with lionfish that the measures they have taken include

• getting special exemption from the Honduran government to allow divers access to harpoons and spears which are otherwise illegal in fishing

• public campaign to teach people how to prepare and eat lionfish (apparently they are very tasty once the poisonous spines are removed) (but watch out)

• holding lionfish combination hunting competition and cookout (reportedly they killed and cooked 1,700 in a day) (someone killed 60 of them with a rubber band spear gun???)

• most recently and apparently out of desperation, the divers in charge of culling the lionfish in the Roatan Marine Park just started. feeding the lionfish they killed to sharks. bc what else are you gonna do with it

• the sharks don’t seem to notice or be affected by the poison and begin hanging out with the divers

• the sharks then were seen hunting and killing the lionfish on their own

like this is nuts to me sorry. the sharks just had to be shown “hey this is food, did you know?? you can eat these!! here try one!!” we are possibly altering an entire foodchain bc we like feeding the big ocean wolves

here’s the article please read it

I know it's because they're invasive but it's hilarious how many different ways human have come up with to send this one fish in particular to the plinko.

Can confirm, these fish are delicious
