The Twitter Debate

[Mrs Whiggins 13,052]

When Jose Andres calls you out for something, there is a good chance you should rethink your behavior...

On that note, all of the banned journos have been reinstated save two--one is Linette Lopez, the woman who had called him out back some time ago (this seemed rather like a revenge ban because he's a gamergatebro at heart) and the other is Keith Olbermann.

Hey man, I'm trying to be sober.  But I did end up at a holiday party with Oliver Stone, Adrien Grenier, and one of the dudes that owns Austin FC.  The weirdest shit happens to me when I'm not drinking.

Not for long.  Everybody now sees how weak he is and how easy it is to get under Musk’s skin.  He’s got too many buttons to push.

And my guess is that either he cares about his internet polls that said bring them back, or somebody that he’s willing to listen to actually told him how bad he’s fucking up.

[Horn Under a Bad Sign 21,083]

Elon bought Twitter fair & square and has every right to use it to show to the rest of us that he's a petty, hypocritical, sanctimonious, narcissistic, facist man-baby who's just been making it up as he goes along.

Who’d have ever thought in the mid to late 90s when message boards were getting started, we would end up with a billionaire mod.

There's no way that's a real poll.  He just sees how much wrath is coming his way, says "Hey, I put up a poll" and then waits a day and changes policy.  

Much easier than admitting he's wrong.

hell, for 1/10th of what he spent he could have positively affected literally billions of people. but he chose to be selfish. and people wonder why we want to tax billionaires more. they are the boogeyman everyone told us that the government was when it came to wasting money

Bill Gates has spent billions saving lives with vaccines, medications and healthcare in third world countries, and he constantly gets shit on by people. He's probably saved millions of lives with those programs over the last 20 years, but I don't think being a benevolent billionaire is all it's cracked up to be. Certain circles will appreciate it, but the lunatics will demonize him for whatever reasons they want to make up.

[Ted Lange 16,549]

That’s a stupid take.

Imagine if Musk had smuggled in a few hundred millions of dollars worth of Starlinks into Iran.  They’d give him the praise he desperately craves.

Weird stuff happened to you when you did drink. The memory just was not working so well during those moments. My entire life is like a real life Forrest Gump complete with winding up in places I never intended to be at, but just kinda was there. Personally I am cool with that. I am sure that formerly drunk me from a few years ago also had wild stuff happen, but the memories from those likely moments just do not exist.

[YGIFS 19,460]

I appreciate the insight.  But Friday night, I really did end up at dinner with Oliver Stone, Adrien Grnenier, and the other owner of Austin FC (not Precourt, the other guy).  I  have lived many lives, served many masters.  Only thing stranger than drunken Lobo is sober Lobo.  I literally ended up at the Supreme Court of Texas holiday party last night and I have no idea how.  And the sliders were delicious.  

I really need to delete my twitter account though

In 2013 Yahoo paid 1.1 billion dollars for Tumblr. In 2019 they sold it for 3 million dollars.  Rupert Murdock paid 580 million dollars for MySpace in 2005.  He sold it four years later for 35 million dollars. In 2022, Elon Musk bought Twitter for 44 billion dollars.  To be continued ....

Elon had to get his mommy to defend him.  Because of course the world’s second richest man needs mommy defending him.

Also, she understand social media about as well as her son.

The Christmas of L E O N

As in other years, my wife unpacked and arranged N O E L over the fireplace to hang stockings

Check. US born parent(s.) I know McCain’s folks were stationed overseas, but I don’t know if Cruz’s or Romney’s were similarly in service. Still, that’s an unusually high percentage of POTUS candidates born abroad.

He’s going to get a bunch of bots to boost the nos around 2 am and claim that it is just like the 2020 election so libs can’t complain about it. And all alt right accounts will laugh and hail him as their king.

Yep, the Moscow bot farmers will be waking up soon and firing up the bots to help him.   Then again, they could run them against him and it would create a shit-ton of turmoil on Twitter.  Social media has not been kind to Russia during the last 9 months.
