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

I’m saying that’s a mocked-up Twitter screenshot that never actually happened.

I believe you’re correct because it’s not on his feed.

That particular poster has trouble posting fake information

It could be Paul Baxley in a Shatner wig.

The Shatner Turbo 2000

Yeah, I don’t think the real Shatner would make a post that creates an opening for one-upping on the misplacement of wives.

CNN.com: Elon Musk’s X, accused of withholding bonuses promised to staff, will have to face a court battle

X stands accused of failing to pay out annual bonuses to staff after its October 2022 acquisition by billionaire Elon Musk – despite repeated assurances from executives in the lead-up to and following the deal that the company would do so, according to a lawsuit filed in June 2023 on behalf of employees.

The lawsuit was filed in a San Francisco federal court by Mark Schobinger, who was a senior director of compensation at X until he left the company in May. The suit is seeking class action status for former and current X employees who did not receive their 2022 bonus.

A federal judge late last week said Schobinger’s case against X was plausible, and he allowed it to go forward.

“Twitter’s offer to pay him a bonus in return became a binding contract under California law,” US District Judge Vince Chhabria said in a ruling Friday.

X, which has effectively done away with its public relations team, did not respond to CNN’s request for comment. The company, in its motion to dismiss, had argued that an oral promise should not be binding and that the case should be heard in Texas. But the judge said in matters questioning whether a contract can be enforced, California law applies.

Merry Christmas, you hardcore workers!

Stranger

Well, well, well – Swedish strikers, EU regulators, California courts – Happy New Year, Elmo!

Seen on Xitter today: “Have a lovely Xmas (formerly known as Twittermas).”

What are the odds that Vivek Ramaswamy actually understands that he’s one of the ‘mud races’ that the Jews are using to ‘poison our blood’ as Hitler sorry, TFG would put it in the Great Replacement?

At the rate Elmo is going, I wouldn’t be surprised if inside a year he’s quoting lines from The Turner Diaries and Twitting about ZOG and the Day of the Rope that will cleanse the white race.

ETA: I wonder which member of Congress was the one that told him this inside info, MTG or Lauren Boebert.

Almost none. There’s a certain class of South Asian that considers itself above the rest and somehow think they won’t be next on the literal chopping block if/when the white supremacists get what they want

Ramaswamy’s family is Brahmin. He probably considers himself one of “the good ones”, not like those other Indians.

Did you ever see Mississippi Masala?

My thoughts exactly. With the likes of MTG and “Handjob” Bobo, we are way past the point where “member of Congress” implies any sort of credibility or, indeed, deserves anything more than a snicker. Elmo is pathologically detached from reality.

This is an overview article. If you’ve been paying close attention to the various legal conflicts mentioned throughout this thread, nothing here will be new.

But if you haven’t been following everything closely, this is a useful all-in-one summary rundown type of thing.

It’s more likely he views himself as part of a superior race, like the Hindu nationalists who embrace or at least excuse admiration for Hitler.

"In 2017, the BJP-led government (in India) used state bodies to generate public praise for Madhav Sadashiv Golwalkar, whereby he was positioned as a “champion of robust nationalism.”

Golwalkar professed admiration for Nazi Germany: “To keep up the purity of the Race and its culture, Germany shocked the world by her purging the country of the semitic [sic] Races—the Jews. Race pride at its highest has been manifested here,” continuing, “the non-Hindu…may stay in the country, wholly subordinated to the Hindu nation, claiming nothing, deserving no privileges…not even citizen’s rights.”

Hitler’s contempt for India didn’t stop him from supporting pro-independence figures during WWII like Subhas Chandra Bose, who accepted Der Fuehrer’s aid and corrupted other Indians into joining the Nazi war effort…

In breaking news, racism is nigh universal. The only conflict is which group deserves to be #1. Hint: it’s Us.

Add in a dollop of “my enemy’s enemy is my temporary friend until I double-cross them too.”, and you can explain a large fraction of human history.

This is undoubtedly selection bias on my part* but many of the Brahmins I’ve encountered have been like vegans - they want you to know it, and they want you to know they’re better than you.

*because obviously any Brahmin who doesn’t mention it won’t be noticed and thus won’t counter the sterotype.

My daughter’s best friend is from a Brahmin family. She is not allowed to eat or drink anything at our house. I am a Pakistani born guy of South Indian ancestry. Apparently I’m suspected of being an Untouchable so anything I prepare would be Unclean.

I’ve encountered this several times in the US.

Note that they will eat perfectly willingly at restaurants where they have no idea who is preparing or touching the food, but they are pretty sure it’s not some defined-as-unclean person because, you know, we are all working in IT, after getting preferential admission into Universities in India (another thing they complain about)
