And in news that is downright ridiculous, X/Twitter is going to remove the block feature outside DMs.

If they do this I will permanently lock my account and never log back in again

I have spambots blocked, I also have people blocked for my own safety because they’d harass me via mentions and/or stalk my tweets

Unacceptable.

Lmao I would straight up not be able to escape the people who hate me had I stayed, that's ****ing ridiculous

I know Elon is actively trying to destroy Twitter at this point and that's whatever, but having users be unable to block stuff they don't want to see could actually be dangerous to their mental health so that's just ****ing ****ty

I asked myself how Elon is able to get away with all of this and I came to a conclusion very easily. Assuming he does run it by any of the employees he just fires them if they show any objections and there's zero consequences because of how much money he has

Now hold the horses here, it may be good but atm it's tracking worse than Shazam 2. It's gonna take some strong word of mouth to make a profit.
Reminder that Invincible and Spider-Verse exists. Superhero media is still going as strong then ever.

Yep superhero fatigue is totes a thing. Told y'all it was just a myth.

Yeah uh I live in Orange County and that's way too close for comfort.

I don't have a car so commuting to work with all the wind and flooding might be a problem. I'm hoping businesses close down but I haven't heard anything about that yet? If my store doesn't then they should expect a lot of call outs.
Most businesses should close by tomorrow, unless the Hurricane fizzles out quickly and gets downgraded. It's a Category 4 right now, but even Category 1 hurricanes are dangerous, so unless the storm fizzles out almost entirely, businesses are almost certainly going to close for the weekend and maybe a few days after.

Either way, stay safe. Batten down the hatches at your home however possible.

Yeah, this is the opposite of a good decision.

Twitter's enough of a toxic cesspool as is, so removing or limiting a blocking feature is just going to make a platform that's already been awful for years now even worse.

I mean it is a thing, superhero movies don't got the same pull as the once did. Invincible isn't a movie also much more niche and lets be real everyone's seeing Spider-Man.

Ever since the Amazon show, I'd say Invincible has boosted in popularity and even prior to that, many folks and fans considers it the best comic book series of all time for how "grounded" it is. I don't know if I'd call that niche tbh. It was relatively known within the comic book fandom with the likes of Spawn and Hellboy.

That's not what he said and it doesn't change the fact that DC barely marketed the movie and that it stars a character that's not very well known

It has yeah, but not on the level of a B list Marvel/DC character (and also Spawn's somewhat niche as well, Hellboy even more).

Anyone got a Dada Zarude, Hoopa or Poké Ball pattern Vivillon they want to give me? I'm willing to give any of my shinies or legendaries

Speaking of, is there any hype for The Marvels?

Coming out soon and I hear no buzz about it.
I already fell out of love with Marvel after Multiverse of Madness and Love and Thunder but the Secret Invasion AI fiasco solidified my utter refusal to give any of my money to Disney in the near future

Gave MoM and Thor: Love and Thunder a chance, I stopped since then, only being excited for Guardians 3 which was well worth the wait.
