We cannot wait to see you fly, New Glenn.

After a many years of "gradatim" we might finally see some "ferociter" from Blue Origin...

Were both posts deleted, or is twitter simply being shit again?

Whoops, actually neither.

There was a discrepancy in how Eternity app and the Lemmy web interface display links. The underscores in the user's twitter handle were being interpreted is markdown. Should be fixed now. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Weird, because I couldn't find these links on Max' page either. But that probably IS twitter not playing nice with my not-having-an-account.

Also, daaaamn, those are pretty.

Were you using the official twitter website or an alternative front end like nitter? Twitter has recently taken to hiding basic features like "sort tweets chronologically", "load more tweets", and "view replies" behind the account wall.

New Glenn does look like a magnificent rocket. I bet it would look even more magnificent if it were flying, but I suppose we'll have to be patient for that.
