Amazon driver was warned she’d be fired for returning with packages during a tornado

She was told "keep delivering" as tornado sirens sounded.

The Verge

“The sirens are just a warning”

Yes????? That’s literally what sirens are??? A warning of an oncoming danger?? Of a threat to life currently approaching?

I’m going to burn amazon down building by building.

So uuuuuuhhh, @staff , are we just not gonna talk about how I, running an archaeology comedy blog, can no longer use the tag “bone” if I want my posts to be visible on the mobile app, but every few days I have to log in and block literal neo-nazi blogs and porn bot blogs from following me?

Hypersensitive Profanity Filter Censors ‘Bone’ at Paleontology Conference

We all joked about this when it happened to paleontologists on a different platform. I get that this is mostly an Apple thing, but @staff I sure hope you guys are working on a better solution rather than banning a lot of useful and non-explicit tags…

so apparently you can hide Nazis on Twitter by setting your location results to Germany or France because Twitter is legally required to remove Nazi content there, so Twitter always had the ability to remove Nazis, they just choose not to

fucking yikes lol

It’s high key illegal to make any kind of nazi joke or gesture in Germany. People can get fired for it and in extreme cases even arrested. On my class trip to Berlin this kid thought it’d be funny to do a Nazi salute in the parking lot where hitler died (was not a destination, just happened to walk by). He was immediately pulled aside by police who legit booked him a flight home for the next day, without the rest of us. He was suspended for two weeks too.

Funny how the country responsible for this takes full responsibility and fights to make it never happen again, while the US, who spent years basing an entire identity on fighting Nazis, gives them a platform to speak freely and draft members.

Don’t forget they literally came out and said if they filtered nazis like they do in Germany and France the algorithm wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between nazis and republican congressmen.

I’m German, and I can tell you that while there are laws in place outlawing many Nazi symbols as “verfassungsfeindliche Symbole” (unconstitutional symbols), how the law is actually applied by the police is an entirely different thing. There are many closeted Nazis in the police force, and in some regions, they let the Nazis march openly in the streets.
