"At 7.30 on the morning of Thursday, August 12, Bond awoke in his comfortable flat in the plane-tree'd square off the King's Road and was disgusted to find that he was thoroughly bored with the prospect of the day ahead." "Just as, in at least one religion, accidie is the first of the cardinal sins, so boredom, and particularly the incredible circumstance of waking up bored, was the only vice Bond utterly condemned."

Today marks the 90th anniversary of the death of F.W. Murnau. He died due to a skull injury sustained in a car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway near Rincon Beach, southeast of Santa Barbara. Despite being physically and financially drained from the 18-month production of his latest film TABU: A STORY OF THE SOUTH SEAS, Murnau was in high spirits that day. Paramount had bought the film and offered him a ten-year contract. TABU's New York premiere was a week away.

In addition to keeping track of #FilmTwitter accounts that have been recently banned, we've also been trying to track shadowbans.

What this GIF shows is that even if you search directly for @PINNLAND_EMPIRE, the account will not be brought up by the search. We're interested in hearing technical explanations for why this "search ban" occurs (maybe an account setting?) and what causes accounts to disappear (aside from a tweet here & there) from a feed.

Shadowbans have long been a fact of Twitter but are obviously hard to track.
