Elon Musk: I, for one, welcome our new pasty overlord

When I saw this I was thinking about how one of Trump’s problems is that all the l33t meme-smiths from 2016 are now eight years older and are thus cringe to the younger generation.

Triggering the libs had its moment as a strategy but the further we get from Gamergate it just doesn’t seem as big a part of internet culture.

It feels like the younger generation is actually making the internet… less toxic? Granted it’s a pretty low bar, and I am incredibly out of touch with the younger generation, but it at least seems like a thing.

The business genius’s politics remain inscrutable

Just imagine what it’s going to be like when he fully commits to the disinformation, and then to encouraging violence when the disinformation fails.

I feel like everyone knows Elon is full of shit and he will pivot like mad if Trump loses. If Trump does lose it could really be, at least for a decade or so, the Tragic Death of the Republican Party.

This is new. Looks like the default reply sort is “Most Relevant” instead of all the paid blue ticks bubbling to the top.

Clicking on “Most Liked”, oh look, no more blue ticks.

If this is true, Elon may have finally discovered what was appealing about Twitter before he ruined it.

a “couch fucker” …

It’s true but there doesn’t seem to be a way to default it to always show “Most liked”. Don’t see anything in preferences.

Maybe someone will make an extension.

Apparently just got a local Salt Lake City reporter fired for offering to buy just banned books for kids who wanted to read them. Maybe there’s more to the story but nothing’s come out yet.

That sucks. Not sure how it could possibly be a sackable offence.
