Things for Twitter have gone from bad, to worse, to awful, to... What's worse than awful? Everything is borderline apocalyptic on the app.

Well, guess what? Hop in losers, we're posting at the end of the world. OK, not the end of the world, but the (maybe) end of Twitter. Thanks to new Chief Twit Elon Musk, Twitter is currently a mess. Users who purchased the new Twitter Blue for a verified blue check mark are posting fake news disguised as notable people or organizations. Features are rolling out and then rolling back an instant later. Musk is futilely trying to dig out of a massive hole, $8 at a time.
