TRUMP-E

I had a really bad idea last night. Feed the text of tweets to Donald Trump to DALLĀ·E 2. What’s it look like if you just do it manually? I grabbed a random .full_text entry from the dataset, and tried it. It didn’t work. Mike Pence Expected Applause When He Mentioned Trump in Munich. He Got Silence. It results in an error: “It looks like this request may not follow our content policy.

UNREJECTED

Two months ago I wrote about being denied for Twitter Academic Access. Yesterday, inexplicably, I received an email from Twitter stating that I was approved for Twitter Academic Access. Much like the rejection, the approval is pretty opaque. I didn’t appeal, because you can’t appeal. I’m very grateful to have access, but also extremely confused. Maybe I shouldn’t be bothered by the insectoid Gregor Samsa letting me know that he approves of me, and my trial is over.

REJECTED

I applied for Twitter Academic Access. I was rejected. There is no appeal process, and no insight into the rationale for the denial other than this email. If you reply to the email asking for more insight into the reason for the denial, you get an autoresponse stating, “Auto-Response: This email address does not process replies.
