#1: Payments through X.com. I think something big is brewing with https://t.co/UMSchznvhk where Elon is going to add payments through Twitter.

Payments are in his blood and he had big plans for it with Paypal, before they sold it. See cards here Elon and Peter
#1 continued. When Paypal was sold, X.com (his original idea went with it). In 2017, Musk worked out an agreement to buy https://t.co/UMSchznvhk back from Paypal for a rumored 7M.

On 7th October, 2022, news broke that Westminster student union has been accused of ā€œracial segregationā€ after banning white students from #BlackHistoryMonth.

This thread is about truth, the culture war, the UK's broken news media, & the amplification of hate.
On 7th October, the non-dom billionaire-owned Telegraph broke the story, followed the next day by the same story appearing in the non-dom billionaire-owned Mail.

Both newspapers quoted Dr Neil Thin, a social anthropology lecturer at Edinburgh University.
Dr Neil Thin said it was ā€œtragicā€ to see a UK university ā€œcopying the racial segregationism that we have previously seen in South African & USA education systemsā€, adding: ā€œIt is bitterly ironic to see the rhetoric of ā€˜safe spacesā€™ abused to justify racial segregation.ā€

It's irresponsible to allow Martin Daubney on the clickbait #vine show to say unchallenged ā€˜there is no proof that children spread the virusā€™.

It's unacceptable that broadcasters are complicit in spreading #disinformation, when Britain has the highest COVID death rate in Europe. ImageImageImage
We've known for a long time that children DO 'spread the virus', & it's just a blatantly misleading & dangerously irresponsible lie for mini-Farage Daubney to claim that there is no evidence that they do.

Shameful broadcasting.

Daubney also lied about COVID child-deaths: he said 'only 10 under 18s had died & they all had underlying health conditions', but we know that six under 18s with no underlying health conditions died from Covid19 in England before the end of February 2021.

A running thread of things that @Twitter could do to unlock value for users. Will add to overtime. Please feel free to retweet and reply with your own, most of these below I have just taken and summarized from others. In no particular order. 1/ā™¾ #JustKidding šŸ¤” or am I?
@Twitter I drafted a tweet on my phone but of course, can't access "draft's" on the desktop. So lets maybe start there. The desktop and @Tweetdeck version should be MORE robust than the mobile app not less. Tweetdeck, for example, has no bookmarks, emoji's, live video, polls, gif's, etc
@Twitter @TweetDeck There are SO MANY great meaningful quotes, threads, replies, and conversations that vanish into the Twitter ether, drowned out by hot takes, snark, and 280 character riffs on what some influencer or politician just did. Find a way to collect and resurface this treasure trove.
