    Yeah, this crew of gay guys didn’t just appear out of nowhere to innocently lift Tonya’s spirits, but I’m glad they did, because her character was pulling on the whole show like a drag anchor.

    Hmm. When I go to Twitter, the first thing I think is “This place needs a highly bureaucratic verification system. Something like getting an ID from the Maryland DMV”

    Maybe if Uvalde had called in a few drag queens some of those kids might still be alive. Too soon? Not soon enough.

    Sounds like it was a badass member of the LGBTQ community who saved a lot of lives 🌈 👊 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/20/us/colorado-springs-shooting-gunman-tackled.html?smid=url-share

    I’m guessing they actually executed the recommended “rush them while changing mags” advice. That’s a couple of dudes with huge stones.

    What a nightmare. It just never fucking ends. And anyone who is breathlessly analyzing “grooming,” “gender replacement theories,” or transgender athletes in sports is feeding this hate. Also: Yes, all but the smallest, most rural conservative communities have at least one bar where people who are aware, know what’s up. I know, because as a snobby liberal coastal elite, when my wife and I are in fly over country, it’s where we go to have a drink and not have to put up with a bunch of narrow minded bullshit.

    I don’t think anyone here was actually defending the previous management of Twitter. Also: something can be two things at once. Musk can be destroying Twitter and also taking CSE seriously. The Astros are fucking cheaters. They are also very, very good at baseball. See what I did there. Humans aren’t binary switches.

    Jesus. Imagine being the richest man in the world, and one of the richest in human history, and using it to give a megaphone to: Donald Trump.

    Uh….I don’t mean to rain on your parade Sigmund, but Elon’s manic episodes do give off a pretty strong “I have a bag, come over” vibes. I’d think cocaine over meth, but the dude has definitely ripped a line or two.

    You being a dipshit crypto bro is the least surprising thing I’ve seen this week, keeping in mind Qatar is already fucking up the World Cup.

    It’s funny, I follow several nerd FB groups that give me enormous happiness: Calvin and Hobbes, Kilts, OG Star Trek, line cooks. They are vigorously moderated and that is largely what makes them great: It’s the essential content, none of the bullshit. I actually follow it closer than the random photos of my high school classmates kids. I hate that Zuck has perfected it, but it works. The only weird thing about FB group is there is, without fail, at least one guy who has to make it about guns: Hobbes next to a pistol, Spock next to a pistol, a pistol on Tartan. It’s as reliable as Sark blowing a lead.

    Tumblr still exists. They even overhauled their app design. That doesn’t mean anyone uses it.

    I suspect they don't mind paying, IF twitter is awesome. But that's not the case, Twitter is already full of sewage and laying off everyone only threatens to make it worse. It's like offering me a premium cable service.....that only shows Caillou. Fanbois are screaming "WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT? Breaking Bad? Pay our genius godhead and watch your bald brat like he orders!!!"

    I'm just hear for the tired masterbation jokes.

    As long as it limps along and people keep seeing posts, we will eventually see “Twitters demise is overstated” articles. But I question whether the content curation to keep the Nazis and racists out, and the ad analytics running for revenue can continue at such reduced levels of staffing. And none of that addresses the bad financials of Elmo’s actual Twitter purchase (I.e. the vig he owes his investors). The trick with Musk is to ignore his tweets and pay attention to what he’s doing financially with Tesla and SpaceX, which this month include another stock sale/margin call and a proposed round of fund raising. That tells me he’s in a cash crunch.

    That right. A US/Taiwan vs China fight is likely going to descend into an absolutely vicious air war that will grind their export industry to a halt. Also, the Chinese haven’t actually been in a serious military conflict since the end of the Korean War. Mike Tyson’s razor about being punched in the face is going to be particularly serious for them.
  20. Bateshorn
    I think a Chinese-Taiwanese war will be less D-Day then an embargo with guided missile strikes to try and starve them out.

    Should it? Yes. Will it? No. Look, we are going to have a hard time keeping the government running and making our bond payments for the next two years. Anything above that is a stretch goal.

    Once y’all have some coffee, can somebody give me a quick rundown of the maninblack drama? Without directly repeating his lies? Are we talking out and out pro Russia shit, or more mealy mouthed just asking questions? knowing the shit the other side is spilling is part of my job as a lobbyist and it’s just a habit now.
  23. Bateshorn
    As somebody who was told their would be no math, I agree. I’m not sure how Elon Musk walking in and throwing napalm on everything is going to fix it, but it’s very entertaining to watch.

    Pam Grier makes my pants tight. More obvious news after this word from our sponsors

    I’ve got a coworker who I can’t stand but he has the best line about this (since I work in down town DC): When the Sirens go off, Ima hit the liquor store and head to the White House. Ain’t gonna feel a thing.
