Elon Musk made a bad $44 billion investment after a lifetime of free rides and it made him so angry he’s spent the last year going “let’s kill trans 😭😭😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡!!” Zuckerberg meanwhile vaporized trillions and all his posts are still like “TV is awesome to watch :)”— iPad Expert (@ByYourLogic) July 6, 2023

yeah i feel like a significant part of Carlson’s core audience is old fogies who barely know what Twitter is

Amazing facts!
In 2010, Gareth Williams, a British MI6 spy, was found dead at his London flat with his decomposing body in the bathtub, padlocked inside a bag. Police ruled his death as "accidental" concluding he died by getting into the bag on his own and accidentally locking himself inside. pic.twitter.com/YR5HNgGKBB— Amazing facts!

why would you commit code as the head of a company with a zillion employees, that’s goofy I was joking with a friend yesterday that 15 - 20 years ago we’d be excited about new websites and apps, new stuff would come out and maybe it’d be cool, maybe it’d disappear weeks later but there was at least some sense of novelty now, most of the sites and apps that I end up using I try to avoid making an account, they’re necessary to do something I need to do, and so many are bad in ways that didn’t matter when I wanted to just goof off with friends. some of this is a function of age, but not all of itthat friend had posted how some reservations app was trash. turns out, he and his wife were on vacation and had dinner reservations, and she decided to add a reservation for a cocktail bar a few hours later. when she made the second reservation, it canceled the first reservation without any warning. so he tried signing up and the confirmation email/message weren’t working, at which point he was just pissed off

Not that it's news to anyone but Twitter is completely fucked now. All the top replies and quote tweets of that Musk tweet are just blue tick sycophants

Well, it was a fun 8 years, & two years before that with a previous account. But all good things must come to an end. So from midnight this is sayonara. I hope a few of you learned something.

He'll be back as soon as he finds out that his steaming hot takes are of no interest elsewhere.Not that Lolico was ever that big a deal on Twitter, cunts of that magnitude can usually do better than a paltry 40k followers.

yeah that's been happenng for a while--when Obamacare was implemented right wingers started to get into "alternatve medicine" and the backyard chickens/organic/veggie lifestyle, as if anything substantively changed about the US health care system other than a few more people could afford it.
