Getting Spicy on Twitter

I fixed Instagram for you.

ONLIME ,,,now, ,       ,  complature  gLOG IN QUwna Passworm Charlfster1946 , … Wlecome! It im quean2@!! Back on my bullwhip!

Nah I’m just playing, it’s not Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of her other realms and territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, it’s me Rusty. I don’t Have largepalace and Many robe’s, diamond headbanf, clurfs, etc. just this newsletter and a brain that feels kinda bad today. So instead of normal Tabs get ready for a…

Big Chaotic List of Stuff in No Particular Order

• The murder hornet will now be known as the Regular Sized Northern Cuddlewasp.

• Scientists turned dead spiders into the world’s grossest claw machine. I warned you about scientists.

• Meta, the company formerly known as profitable, “reported a 1 percent decline in quarterly revenue from the previous year” and a “36 percent profit drop” and immediately cut payments to news publishers.

• But good news! Casey Newton passed along yesterday’s Tabs to Zuck’s minion Adam Mosseri and the Instagram head folded like a cheap suit, instantly switching from what Delia described as his “it’s actually so toxic you’re even mad right now” vibe to telling Platformer that: “a test version of the app that opened to full-screen photos and videos will be phased out over the next one to two weeks, and Instagram will also reduce the number of recommended posts in the app as it works to improve its algorithms.”

  

  You’re welcome, Kylie!

• But the Metaverse still sucks:

  Meta Quest @MetaQuestVR

  Just two guys geeking out over space 🪐

• “This Grandma’s Dying Wish Was a Giant Dick on Her Grave.” In the Tabs Discord, Doghouse Reilly wrote: “more like mourning wood,” and I can’t do better than that.

• Emily Gould admits to smoking a pack a day (in this economy). But she also found an off-market apartment, for “just” $4,500 a month. At New York prices, that’s only nine more packs a day.

  Emily Gould @EmilyGould

  I overdrew my checking account again. how long til we can pay for things with "cultural capital"?

• The crypto Dune collective Spice DAO continues to unravel. If you’ve resisted learning what Spice DAO is, Dan Olson did a thread about it that is both concise and funny. In the future it will be known as “Spice Club,” which sounds like a gentlemen’s entertainment venue at a truck stop on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

• The Tyre Extinguishers fight climate change by nondestructively flattening one or more tires of selected Upper East Side SUVs. It’s a lot of steps from this to bringing back the guillotine but I guess every movement has to start somewhere.

• For Texas Monthly, Emily McCullar visited Alphaland, “the 30,000-square-foot gym in the Houston suburbs where you're no one if you're not flexing, vlogging, or networking.”

• Unpopular politicians form new party with no platform or goals.

• And in Hell Gate’s OnlyFins column, Esther Wang fishes the Gowanus.

  The Dredgers regularly drop a cage full of oysters off the dock by their office on 2nd Street, as a way to test the canal's waters. Are they thriving, I asked? "They die within three months,” he replied.

• Seriously, this is the best use anyone has come up with for the Metaverse so far:

  Coach Dorn @CoachDorntastic

  One of the most INSANE things I have ever experienced online, specifically VRChat, is that someone completely recreated Kmarts with working scanners, p.a. systems, and more - and have a Discord with 3,000 people that occasionally roleplay working here unironically. #vrchat

• In conclusion:

  katie @skatie420

  Sisyphus was the first guy to be running up that hill and making a deal with god.
