That's outstanding. Oh my God.

Incredible news.

Just think....if Elon doesn't unblock his account this doesn't happen.

If you choose to believe everything you read, both Musk and Thiel may have visited him recently.

My daughter was amazed that I had never heard of this POS.

Did a little reading about him and am truly content with being out of the loop.

Let's hope the Romanian police still use some of the Ceaucescu-era interrogation techniques.

I don't quite understand any of this, but seen a lot of articles that the Tweets had nothing to do with his arrest.

I thought it was an accepted fact that the pizza box in his tweeted video helped the police locate him.

Doesn't appear to be exclusively the reason, but was thought to help in aiding his whereabouts. A poorly translated section of a Romantic article and lack of clarity in the initial post plus it going very viral very quickly gave the idea to everyone.

Can any of you recycle pizza boxes? Not allowed to here. Too greasy.

I don't think I'm allowed to either. It depends upon where you live. However, they *can* be recycled.

The app I use to follow twitter was unable to authenticate me this morning (they have suggestions for fixes, but I'm not going to bother yet). Twitter itself couldn't show me any tweets/DMs/notifications for around 36 hours from Wednesday evening through this morning (although it could show me the number of notifications I had).

As time moves on, I think I am more interested in if the app I use is going to (bother to) update/fix/whatever than anything else.

Looks like Twitter has shut down access to most/all of the 3rd party apps.

Looks like Scott Adams is carrying the water for Elon Musk. This comic makes it appear like Musk is improving Twitter by getting rid of the deadwood employees.

Fuck Scott Adams...Dilbert hasn't been funny in 20 years.

I've emailed the local paper a few times to complain about the strip, and ask for it to be dropped, based on Adams support for Trump and election denial.

Paranoia alert. I had my twitter feed set to receive “latest” tweets (rather than “top” tweets). Now the star you clicked on to set your preference is gone. It now defaults every time to “for you” (the new name for Top tweets), which are generally right-wingers I don’t follow, with “promoted” tweets. You can change your feed to “following” tweets instead of “for you”, but you have to do it every single time you enter your feed. Grrr…
