I don't take you as the kinda guy that would wait two days to read an email from walkie.

I think it just took him two days to recover from the excitement before he could talk about it.

I have multiple dummy accounts I use to protect my privacy. I had previously emailed Walkie from one of those.

Yes. I feel like my actual pigmentation undersells my whiteness.

This whole swiping up instead of a home button and swiping down to see battery percentage is taxing to my spirit. Woe is Julian.

that image, https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQEwHCHWsAAinYD.jpg, isn't showing up for me (pbs.twimg.com is timing out)… so this post is blank for me.  anyone else?

It's hosted by Twitter. Can you see tweeted pics?

yes, when viewing on twitter.com.  they might not allow external references - i.e. they'll only serve an image when requested by a twitter.com webpage (AKA same domain).

am i the only one?  can anyone else see Justin's image from earlier today, below "Anybody know what this thing is?"?

Ditto.

Is this happening on all your devices or just one? Only on a work network, or at home too?

it's happening on all devices, so must be a network thing (i've even checked on the other network we have here, same ISP).  weird.  maybe next time i'm really, really bored i'll contact the ISP's help desk and ask them wtf.

to further the weirdness: originally this first image (rudolf & "deviation from the norm…") wasn't showing up, but now it is.  so one pbs.twimg.com is showing up, but the other isn't.  for the second one that still isn't, it's no longer a time-out… it's just loading a black screen in Chrome, and a small black "x" symbol in Edge.  an early taste of a non-neutral net?!?

i come to the 930 for technical support.
