Everyone should file lawsuits against Elon and Doge. He is being given tons of access to data with zero oversight. Fuck Elon Musk.

That’s precious that you think our justice system has any teeth left.

Too much excitement causes some people to do Nazi salutes just like how taking Ambien causes some people to post racist shit on Twitter.

But not kidding, why are we still embedding Twitter on surly? If the owners and site leadership agree that the owner is acting like a Nazi and the site is acting more as a dissemination source for hate, racism, and disinformation, what are we even doing here?

Is that something you'd be interested in putting out for a poll @immamac

Why do people here who aren't like-minded with Elmo still have twitter accounts?

I can't disable the baked in oembeds, maybe I can write a small addon to do it, but I'd rather not break a pretty important function of the site because if Twitter.

He’s going to war against “Wokepedia” and asking his followers not to fund it.

I’m going to go out in a limb and say that A) his followers have never sent a single penny to Wikipedia and B) most of his followers who have used Wikipedia are just doing so for the extensive collection of nude photos.

If Mary Barra stood up and did the Nazi salute on stage at the presidential inauguration do you think the board of GM would have had anything to say about it? The BOD at Tesla is completely spineless and powerless.

Maybe it's time for another surly billboard or airplane banner. Sure it might be a futile gesture but it might also be kind of fun.

They aren't spineless and powerless - THEY. DO. NOT. CARE. Because they are fully bought and paid for. If they were spineless or powerless, I might feel for them, but they actively facilitate this.

Well, looks like it is time to see about switching bank relationships and credit cards.  You support Nazi's, Jamie, we do not support you.

I was just about to send this to a good friend whose father is a retired JPMorgan exec. Said buddy carries around the JPMorgan Reserve card in his wallet and is the furthest thing from a Trumper and Elon stan that you can think of.

I deleted it on 11/5. I'll hit links for people like Aaron Rupar and others who are still using it. I wish those folks would leave the site and go to Bluesky and Threads exclusively but maybe not Threads.

They went all in to ensure they didn’t get taxed their fair share under Harris. They will destroy the entire country to keep their wealth. They are basically immune, or think they are, from societal unrest and a collapsed democracy, as long as someone friendly to the wealth is in power

I fucking love Wikipedia. I honestly believe that it's an example of humanity at its best. It's a throwback to a long-gone era of the internet that had so much promise. Maybe one of the last throwbacks.

I've been terrified for a while now of the day that it became a political target. In my heart I always knew it was just a matter of time, because literally everything must be politicized now. I know that people have tried before, but those people generally weren't the richest person on Earth, with a direct line to the president of the United States. I fear that this is the beginning of the end for Wikipedia. Can't say how sad that makes me.

Musk will break it, buy it, then charge to fix it. Will be a crappier version. All contributors have to take an oath to Musk.

Thinking through this a bit more. Maybe I'll change the DNS records for the oembed URL to just go to a blackhole and it'll error and just paste the link.

Testing this afternoon. 

I don't know anything more about this shit than the rest of this sentence suggests (and I recognize that it may be partially or completely incorrect in some way) but to my mind, there are worse things that basically using Twitter as a hosting platform and costing him bandwidth.

My favorite movie I have ever watched outside of the movie Patton is Jojo Rabbit. I saw it the night it came out and got to listen to Taika Waititi talk to us after the movie ended. He took questions and explained the movie and why he did it, which was cool. 
 

That was October 2019 when he was sounding the alarm about feeling a sense of frustration that he was making a movie to remind people about the nazis. If you have ever seen him talk you know he is a pretty lighthearted guy that is universally loved by the folks who work with him. He was pissed having to trample on Nazi ideology again almost eight decades after they got beaten senseless in WWII. Here we are confronting homegrown idiots now. I am sure they will all peacefully denounce their beliefs once they hear some reason and common sense from those of us who aren’t wannabe nazis.

Jojo is a great fucking movie.

Anything pledged by Masayoshi Son should be viewed with skepticism.  He pledged $50B to investing in America and creating 50,000 jobs. This was either in 2017 or 2018. Big press conference with Trump. Then he proceeded to spend a large chunk of this in his propping up WeWork and losing most of it. He claimed the 50,000 jobs successful by counting the WeWork customers as job creation. Zero sense. Son, Altman and Ellison do not have $500B to invest in this unless they use some creative accounting like when Trump estimates his net worth.

While I hate agreeing with Musk, he's right about this being a false announcement at least with these investment levels. Not to mention that the right used to complain when the federal govt attempted to pick winners in an industry.
