#5  Shoot, I don't blame the Slimes. $1,000/month? No way.

#4  Actually, Twitter wants to charge corporations $1000/month for bluechecks, with $50/mo for associated accounts. As in, make them pay for the free publishing.
They, of course, believe that we all should feel grateful that they bestow their wisdom on us.

#3  Reading past the headline, my shadenboner is somewhat deflated to learn that it is not the Times losing its badge, but the entire blue check program winding down.

The amusing part is the NYT can't / won't pay $8 per month for advertising.
