hopefully it'll be like Children of Men, where it's 2040, the last tweet was successfully tweeted 18 years ago before Twitter broke, but rumors appear that a new tweet is going to post soon

much like cia doing crack cocaine, i'm starting to wonder if cia did elon buying twitter. though it would have been a much more complicated op. idk it's probably just "hugely fortunate accident benefiting global hegemony" tbr.
idly wonder if "disaster leadership" is overall an effective way to retrench/accelerate the status quo in the same way that disaster capitalism is.

caffeine-free regular coke is fucking amazing, I will not hear a word against it
― Jaime Pressly and America (f. hazel), Monday, 28 November 2022 16:57 (one year ago) link
once i had a budding awareness that the corn syrup in coke is better than the caffeine but i extinguished it

imo caffeine free diet coke is more deranged than the normal coke version, diet coke is exactly a caffeine delivery system, its only reason to exist

my parents used to make my sister and I drink caffeine free regular coke when we wanted coke at home. I probably drank more coke growing up, overall, than one should, but less than other people. Now I have it sparingly because black coffee is better and better for you

anyway Twitter is still "up" but it is grinding inexorably towards collapse
There is no need for caffeine-free Coke as long as root beer exists.

Yeah I also grew up on caffeine free regular coke, the low threshold for caffeine that resulted meant that when I first got into coffee as an adult it felt like I had been plugged directly into gods brain.

Caffeine free diet coke is for people who had a diet coke habit and are now trying to cut down on caffeine. People who drink diet coke drink a lot if it.
― treeship., Monday, 28 November 2022 17:23 (one year ago) link
The taste is likely comforting to the addict even if it lacks that sweet caffeine

Pfft. I drink a 16 ounce glass of unsweetened iced tea at 10 PM for that last burst of writing energy before bedtime.
Also, Diet Coke is what you drink when there's no Coke Zero in the house.

I remember being in the back of the family car when caffeine-free Coke was new and my dad was talking about it with a friend of his in the front seat. The friend said, "First the cocaine, now this!" It was the first time young me learned what the Coca stood for.

I drank a lot of soda as a kid, tho— probably enough for a lifetime.
One of my writing mentors was addicted to Tab, and so whenever I come across one— a deep rarity, but an occasional occurrence— I drink one in his memory.

I am reluctant to defend this dum dum, and I think Musk is a bad troll, but the bedside table photo is likely a pun akin to "let that sink in." That is, his bedside table is cluttered with guns and coke. Get it, har har?
