1344) Dottobot. You have to finish this one yourselves.

Not hugely challenging, we admit.
The name is pronounced "Dot-to-bot", btw, not "Dot-oh-bot". As in a dot-to-dot puzzle.
That arm bit is really catching people out, although tbf we did mess up the shading a bit...

The 13-14-15 arc is where the arm connects to the body.
Love everyone tweeting their completed versions of this, as if they're going to look any different from one another!
Version with corrected arm shading too:
We were literally just about to do this joke!

Hm.

It actually didn't occur to us that so many of you would want to join Dottobot's dots yourselves...
A good robot.

Like that it's now just wandering out of frame too...
https://t.co/E66XFZkWwu
Ah yes, the eye is confusing.

Inconsiderate of us.

We cannot endorse this chaos.

Feel like you could have intuited the correct procedure from context tbh...

No.

A lot of effort to just do a big scribble.

A thread on @Dream, his friends, Minecraft, insane Twitter engagement, and more:

Dream & friends' (@GeorgeNotFound, @tommyinnit, @Quackity, @TubboLive, @WilburSoot, etc) meteoric rise and the massive return of Minecraft has been one of the most amazing gaming stories this year.


1/ What do Dream and crew get so right?

On the surface, it's clear that they show the power of good storytelling and each of our desires to "hang out" with a group of friends that are having fun.

2/ This remains one of, if not the most important draws for great parasocial content -- whether it be Seinfeld, @DavidDobrik's vlogs, or Dream SMP content, the same is true:

We want to feel a little less alone and spend time in the worlds of these friends we know so much about.

3/ Watching this new wave of superstars take over YouTube / Twitch / Twitter gaming cultures has been incredible and bizarre.

Check the replies and engagement


4/ Dream speaks to the underrated and remarkable nature of Minecraft, too. In its 9th year, the game continues to dominate. Why?

Accessible, multi-platform, wide appeal? Sure - but more importantly: it is infinitely extendable. It's a creator's perfect sandbox. (image @SipoverS)

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.


In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
