Twitter appears to be back up and running after suffering an outrage in the early morning hours on Wednesday that left users unable to see new tweets in their feeds.
Earlier, when users logged on to the platform, they reported seeing a message saying, “Welcome to Twitter!” According to Downdetector, an outage monitoring service, users began to report problems with Twitter at about 5 a.m. ET. By 8 a.m. ET, Twitter appeared to be fixed, proceeding to become a meme on the social media network with people making wild declarations and stating “Welcome to Twitter.”
The outage generated a torrent of confusion before becoming a meme. When I first logged on, I thought Twitter had somehow erased all of the people I was following, but quickly learned that was not so when I went to my profile. Some of my Twitter lists worked and showed me new tweets, but others simply showed the same “Welcome to Twitter!” message in the main “For You” feed.
Twitter’s trending sidebar seemed to still be intact and showed that “Welcome to Twitter” and #TwitterDown were trending in the U.S. (the former still is). Clicking on the trend let you see a couple of new tweets about Twitter being down, but suddenly stopped after displaying about 20.
Some users blamed Twitter CEO Elon Musk vicious layoffs for the outage, while others simply wanted to know what was going on. One Twitter user summed up the situation perfectly:
“what do you mean ‘welcome to twitter’ I’ve on this hellsite since 2010,” @assasyngal wrote. Which, honestly, same.
Although the main feed was messed up, you could still kind of use Twitter by navigating manually through the search bar or checking your notifications to see if anyone had responded to you. Despite the inconvenience, this incident highlights just how much people depend on the main Twitter feed to use the app.
One possible theory for the outage could be Musk’s insistence that people use Twitter lists more. The billionaire has repeatedly reminded people that using lists improves their experience. He did so yesterday again.
“Periodic reminder to try using Twitter Lists. Will greatly improve your experience,” Musk tweeted.
Anyone else think that Musk asked the engineers left at Twitter to do something to encourage people to use lists and ended up with this? I’d sure bet a coffee on that.
Twitter no longer has a communications department to email for comment.

A TikTok illegal migrant who flaunted welfare cash and called Americans “stupid” has just been DEPORTED! Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan migrant, gained online fame by bragging about receiving U.S. government benefits while flashing stacks of cash. He openly mocked hardworking Americans, calling them “idiots” while urging other illegal migrants to take advantage of the system.
His arrogance finally caught up to him when authorities deported him back to Venezuela. His outrageous behavior even caused an uproar on a flight, further sealing his fate. Many are celebrating his removal as a major victory for immigration enforcement, especially under Trump’s policies.

Knocking on the Wrong Door at Night
Today, we are taking a trip up to Chester in Orange County, New York, and the surveillance footage on this one is crazy, y'all!
We are looking at John C. Riley, the elected Town Highway Superintendent and a federally licensed firearms dealer (FFL).
On the night of May 2, 2024, a 24-year-old delivery driver named Alpha Barry was trying to drop off food, but his phone died. Unable to pull up his GPS, he went door-to-door looking for directions and asking to charge his phone.
When he knocked on Riley’s door, Riley screamed at him to get off his property. Barry turned around, walked down the driveway, got back inside his vehicle, and turned on the ignition to drive away.
That should ...

The Big Update: Motion for New Trial DENIED
Today, we are closing the loop on the latest development in the Karmelo Anthony murder case out of Collin County, Texas, and the legal reality is crazy, y'all!
As you know, Anthony's legal team successfully got the original trial judge recused over comments made in a TV interview, and a new judge stepped in to review the defense's Motion for a New Trial.
The defense based their motion heavily on two points:
That the trial courtroom was improperly closed to the public at certain points.
That the pre-trial "gentleman's agreement" to exclude prior bad acts violated Anthony's constitutional right to testify in his own defense.
Well, the ruling just came down: the judge officially ...

The Trial "Gentleman's Agreement" Explodes
Today, we are diving right back into the Karmelo Anthony murder case out of Collin County, Texas, and the 75-page evidentiary dossier that just got unsealed is crazy, y'all!
During the murder trial—where Anthony was convicted of stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf to death at a high school track meet and sentenced to 35 years—the defense and prosecution had what’s known as a "gentleman's agreement." Both sides agreed to keep out prior bad acts from both the victim and the defendant so the jury wouldn't get completely prejudiced.
Now, Anthony’s new defense team is arguing for a new trial, claiming their client was blocked from testifying because prosecutors threatened to ...
