If you email me about NFTs, I will either not see it or I will become very annoyed. Alex Cohen, an internet funny guy who I have crossed paths with since the days of weird Facebook, was the one who convinced me to add a little emoji to my name. There is a musical.

Why would I pay $8 for a blue check if I could have a rat for free? Cohen called on everyone to join him in being rat verified.

why would i pay $8 to get a blue check if i could put a rat next to my name for free???

i’m calling on everyone to join me in becoming #RatVerified

You don't have to do anything else to become a rat verified. It's all done. It was you who did it. You're rat verified. Alex Wilhelm, who is so disconnected from this corner of Weird Internet that I once had to explain "My Immortal" to him, was able to reach Cohen's account. The #RatVerified was the number one trending topic in the U.S. on the social media site.

Cohen made fun of Musk's idea to charge users $8 per month to be verified, which has already collapsed into a chaotic mess. Since the advent of the blue check, which looks the same as the "I am a public figure" blue check, verified users can't change their usernames.

Doja Cat, who had changed her display name to Christmas, begged the Chief twit to let her go.

When Grey Check was Grey Check Official Super Double verified for two hours, it was a mess. The internet gag that was supposed to be a short one is now a long one. I wish my little rat friend a happy life.
