Now that Elon Musk has bought Twitter - now the Pit edition (Part 1)

Hmm. If Twitter is now X, how come the links are still to twitter.com, and if I try clicking the https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1688994698608742403 link I get taken to a page telling me I have to make an account to log into Twitter, sorry ‘X’ to be able to view the page. The page on twitter.com. That is no longer Twitter. Only it is, I mean the http is literally twitter.com.

Agile rebranding?

The exodus continues.

(My own company terminated its Twitter presence many weeks ago.)

I’ve popped into the site to see just how bad it is and I noticed they no longer tell you that an ad is promoted.

I saw that Tom Selleck is trending. As always when a celebrity is trending, someone will post the Denzel Washington meme expressing relief that the person hasn’t died, but instead of relief that Tom isn’t dead, most are expressing relief that their parent DID NOT buy a reverse mortgage.

I really did laugh out loud at that this morning.

I do miss that sort of thing on twitter.

A couple of things I find amusing.

Some conservatives on Twitter, not being good at reading comprehension, have jumped on the “conservative” advertising option, claiming they are being oppressed by being held to different standards, because they don’t understand what “conservative”, in context, means.

Other conservatives, the ones that know how to read and know how to post hate speech, have decided they are being unfairly oppressed and censored because advertisers can choose not to have their ads placed next to their hate speech, claiming this will reduce their still largely imaginary ad share revenue. They mostly blame woke Linda Yaccinaro.

Which demonstrates Ms. Yaccinaro’s value to Elmo: lightning rod or scapegoat.

Yep:

Having only started visiting Musk’s Twitter account a few weeks ago, I was a bit shocked and surprised to see how much he’s into nutty alt-right/hard-right/far-right stuff.

Twixxer was fined $350,000 by the judge overseeing Jack Smith’s investigation of Trump after they refused to turn over subpoenaed materials. Although they eventually complied, the appellate cpurt upheld the fine.

Elmo wants to fight with his words now.

Trump has silly WWF experience.
When real life Trump wrestles, it’s with a bag of chips he’s struggling to open.

Too bad! He already issued the challenge. Maybe he should use his unused muscle—which is flab—and make himself a flab rope ladder so he can crawl back down the hole he came out of back to his crybaby wife and children.

Is it ok if I read that in SNL Hanz and Franz voice?

No it was perfect! I went back and read it that way; it was so much better.

Ex-wife and deadnamed children.

Yes, he screwed that up too.

Trump would never open his own chips. That’s Walt Nauta’s job.

Holy shit, read as Hanz and Franz, it 100% sounds like something from one of their sketches.

Elon is such a girlie man.

He wishes he had girl strength!
He’s a coward, a racist, whiny, coward.

Seriously, every time I hear desantis talk he sounds like a toddler having a tantrum. “ron, such and such is this” ron: “no it’s not” stomps foot.

You know, hear me now and believe me later, talk about it sometime soon but make a note of
It now. :sunglasses:
