Today is the one year anniversary of the death of the Internet.

Mark the occasion with a joke about how it costs 7 cents to send a tweet.

Remember how the Internet was going to be

really

slow

like

this?
Bernie Sanders knows tech.
Who can forget the LGBT community?
Thankful the repeal didn't roll us back to rotary phones.
Trump raped the Internet.
Free speech. A quaint concept for the ACLU.
Ajit Pai dissolved the Senate. Fear will keep the ISPs in line.
The unprecedented era of innovation, creativity and civic engagement Netflix refers to is 2014-2018.
Thankful to the Koch brothers for letting me tweet this.
Anyone got past the punchline pay gate?
I can't recognize the Internet from what it was one year ago.
Explains why I never see abortion on the Internet anymore.
You've been rendered invisible.
Anyone remember when you needed ISP permission for what you can see online?
This generation got to see it live.
U mad?
History is never pleased.
Points for clever double meaning of "throttle."
I wonder how people became so radicalized?

Internet still squirming like Desdemona.

CNN just calling apples.

More like reproductive unfreedom.
I can't remember the last black voice I saw around these parts.

Suddenly they care about the rubes.

Think of the children.

If Ajit Pai's children didn't want to be harassed their dad shouldn't have killed Democracy.
This is just Democracy defending itself, Pai.

The multiple line breaks bit.
I feel like you're selling me on repeal.
Interesting concern in light of the #VoxAdpocalypse
The app wasn't free.
Depression tweets carry a surcharge.
Anyone know who ultimately bought the Internet?
Science has been hurt, y'all.

She ran out of bandwidth mid-tweet. Get the joke?
How much is FUCK YOU costing today?
It's a lame joke anyway.
I bet Twoter has an edit button.
Much like he did to the Internet.
Pelosi's just phoning it in.
Late-night comedians. Many American's sole source of news and information.

I'll end this with the best take of all.

Twitter signaling concern about blows to free expression.
What I love about the #NetNeutrality episode is that it perfectly illustrated the susceptibility of a segment of the American people to politician and celebrity induced hysteria as long as you give them a villain to be angry at.
It's telling that after this thread is getting some attention, hardly anyone is jumping in to defend Net Neutrality or excuse these crazy predictions. On Twitter where you can always find some crank to defend anything.
A day of mourning maybe.

Today is the one year anniversary of the day the FCC's #NetNeutrality repeal went into effect. Since the repeal, we've seen lawsuits, state action, and a preview of what an Internet without protections will look like. eff.org/deeplinks/2018…
We're still waiting to hear the ruling in Mozilla v. FCC, the case challenging the FCC repeal. eff.org/deeplinks/2019…
In the vacuum created by the FCC's repeal, states like California stepped up to protect the Internet for their residents. eff.org/deeplinks/2018…

1) "Today marks the one-year anniversary of the opening of the United States Embassy in Jerusalem, Israel....a proud reminder of our strong relationship with Israel and of the importance of keeping a promise and standing for the truth."

2) 1 year marker

3) "Stand" - repeated twice
"O" - used repetitively - "one" is spelled out; "our"; "of"; "opening"
"And" - repeated twice
"The Truth" - why is that relevant here?

Today marks the one year anniversary of the Trump administration violating the Iran nuclear deal. In the past year Trump and his hawkish advisers have pursued a path of dangerous escalation that can lead to war with Iran.

In one year the Trump administration has: 1/9
1. Devastated Iran’s economy by reinstating sanctions. U.S. unilateral sanctions have plunged Iran’s economy into a deep recession and the soaring prices are hurting millions of ordinary citizens. 2/9
2. Asked for military options from the Pentagon to strike Iran. 3/9

Today is the 10 year anniversary of the death of Ian Tomlinson, who died after being violently attacked by a police officer at the G20 protests. My thoughts are with his family, who have had to live with two contradictory verdicts – which says a lot about British justice.
An inquest jury took three hours to conclude that Ian had been unlawfully killed by a police officer. Later, a jury in a criminal trial found the police officer – Simon Harwood – not guilty of Ian's manslaughter. The case underscored the difficulties in convicting British cops.
Since 1990, there have been 1703 deaths in police custody or otherwise following contact with the police in England and Wales, according to the monitoring group Inquest. Those include the deaths of Jean Charles de Menezes, Mark Duggan and Sean Rigg.

today, on the one year anniversary of the time a thousand furries got mad at me, i've returned to assign letter grades to the weirdest, most truly fucked up bats. watch this space for: now presenting:

Fox Grades II: Bat Grades I: The Flying Fox Reckoning

remember that i am not a bat expert, or smart person, and the rankings might be wrong. however, the rankings are definitive and non-negotiable. i am also not grading cuteness. there's only one question here: is it fucked ? is this bat fucked up? bat’s fucked?

•classic bat, because we need to set a baseline
•normal face
•altogether fine but not anything to call home about
•probably deserving of love but not from me
•grade: B-
