Just letting everyone know that Twitter is again not allowing unregistered people to view.

Someone also shouts, “You killed my dog!”

Yeah, just letting everyone know that if you are going to put up links for Twitter, you will need to copy and paste any text, and if there isn't text, at least explain WHY (generically) you thought it was important to post a link.Kendra wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2023 4:33 pmThat started today.

Elon Musk says Twitter users are being forced to sign in because of 'extreme levels' of data scraping by AI companiesAzastan wrote: ↑Sat Jul 01, 2023 7:05 am Now it automatically goes to a 'try again' screen.

It doesn't absolutely prevent it. It does make it harder to do. As you say, they need only create additional fake accounts to circumvent the rules.
In some cases, the scraping is being done from a compromised machine so it is possible that the owner was not aware of it. You still needed to block the address.
IIRC didn't Romney tell him he shouldn't be there at all? Because that is my recollection.PatriotTakes 🇺🇸 @patriottakes wrote: Republican George Santos compared himself to Rosa Parks.
Santos: “Mitt Romney …tells me, a Latino gay man, that I shouldn’t sit in the front, that I should be in the back. Well guess what? Rosa Parks didn’t sit in the back and neither I am going to sit in the back.”
Rosa Parks was not a lieing bag ofraison de arizona wrote: ↑Mon Jul 10, 2023 12:21 pm In this episode, Santos gives an interview from the back seat of a car, where he says...he isn't going to sit in the back.

More (it gets worse): https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-are-t ... s?ref=wrapWhy Are These Newbie Donors Maxing Out to George Santos?
Rep. George Santos' latest campaign filing has some very interesting new donors giving the maximum allowable amount. There may be an interesting reason for that.
Since his May 10 indictment, Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has brought in a surprising amount of money—about $133,000, according to his new campaign finance report—but what’s more interesting than Santos just raising money is who’s been donating to him and why.
The short answer? It may have something to do with Guo Wengui, the self-proclaimed billionaire who defected from China and is now an enthusiastic supporter of American right-wing causes.
The vast majority of Santos’ fundraising haul—a total of $101,861—rolled in over the course of just three days, between May 20 and May 22. All of those donors had Chinese surnames, almost all of them contributed the maximum allowable amount of $3,300, and 26 of them had never given to Santos previously, according to Federal Election Commission data. For 14 of those donors, it was their first political contribution ever.
On June 23, that same pattern returned, this time to the tune of $24,100, all from donors who had never given to him previously. And the bulk of that cash, it turns out, went right back into Santos’ personal pocket.
In all, Santos received $125,961 from those donors. About $66,000 of that amount came from donors who had never given to any federal committee before, and more than $50,000 came from first-time Santos donors. Of all his donors this quarter, only five had given to him previously—accounting for just $157 of his $133,000 haul.
The Daily Beast attempted to contact nearly all of these donors. Almost every number associated with these donors had an automated voice message. One woman picked up but quickly hung up after saying she didn’t speak English.

Santos must be held publicly accountable for defrauding and disgracing the United States Congress.

The embattled new GOP member of Congress is restricted to travel within the 30-mile radius of Washington DC, as well as Long Island, NY and New York City, not exactly considered as restrictive as a 6ft x 9ft prison cell.
Santos' attorney, Joseph Murray, issued a request to the court, stating that the "small geographical area of the District of Columbia" is too small for someone such as Santos, with his frequent needs for "dining, shopping, meetings, events, and even use of the local airports."
House Democrats have recently proposed a resolution to censure Santos, who is clearly not taking his situation seriously, and it appears that they have at least six Republicans who are willing to support the resolution.
Do you believe Santos needs extra room to roam while awaiting his trial, or do you think he should be confined to a jail cell for one week, so he can see how good he has it now?

He hasn't been convicted of anything, the purpose of being out on bail is just to ensure he shows up for trial. Let him go to Chevy Chase for dinner for 6 months, he'll get a few years in a 6x9 cell soon enough.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2023 2:12 pm https://twitter.com/ReallyAmerican1/sta ... 61248?s=20Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1 wrote: Outrageous and absurd: Newly-elected New York Congressman George Santos, fresh off of being indicted on charges of wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds, and false statements, is now pleading for expanded travel rights for "dining and shopping."
