  1. This episode of Serious Trouble is interesting.

    I had heard about Elon Musk's lawsuit against the advertisers, and I *almost* posted something at the time harping on the First Amendment to argue that the lawsuit was bullshit, but I stopped myself.

    I think I was right to stop myself. It is more a matter of antitrust law than a matter of First Amendment. I'm definitely not as knowledgeable about antitrust law as I am about the First Amendment.

    However, the lawsuit is still bullshit. Ken White explains it well in this episode.

  3. "Elon Musk says he doesn't believe in Donald Trump's MAGA or his 'cult of personality'"

    True that. Elon Musk only believes in the cult of personality that reveres him as the cult figure.

    He sure won't bow down for anyone, including Trump.

  4. "So Many Unsold Teslas Are Piling Up That You Can See Them From Space"

    I bet Musk's Starlink satellites are coming in handy to look at all those unsold Telsas.

  5. "Swifties React To Elon Musk Warning Taylor Swift Of 'Popularity Decline'"

    Muskrat's word of advice amounted to "I was on the cover of Time's magazine, but look at me now. :derpface: "

    Yeah.... I think Taylor Swift is fine as long as she does not go full Nazi like you, Etron.

    I'm not a "fan" of Taylor Swift. She does music. She seems competent. That's all I can say about her. However, it would take *A TON* before she manages to tank her public image like Muskrat.

  6. "FabFitFun, a $1 billion subscription box startup, frantically backpedals after a profane, pro–Elon Musk ad bombs"

    :headache:

    WTF did they think it was a good idea to :

    a) Put their ads on Twitter?

    b) Tell their customer to use a GoF--kYourself rebate code. (I don't know if the code was meant to be censored or not.)

    From the article:

    ===
    The ad felt like a rude political intrusion into lifestyle retail. One X user wrote, “Just in case anybody thinks of trying FabFitFun, the owners are right-wing Trumpers who are enamoured with Elon & snarl ‘woke’ under their breath.”
    ===

    Good god! The idiocy! It burns!!! I've tried a couple subscription services. They sucked. If you've got a good thing going, why ruin it?

  10. I remember shortly after Yaccarino was hired. I predicted that she wouldn't do a dent in the shitshow that Twitter had become.

    Someone said that I should hold my horses and give her a chance.

    Well... I did call it way back when, and I'm calling it again now.

    Yaccarino did nothing for Twitter. I know I've used the following saying before, maybe even when I was talking about Yaccarino:

    "Never wrestle with a pig because you'll both get dirty, and the pig likes it."

    (Attributed to every famous person.)

    With her latest denial that the platform reflects antisemitic views of Muskrat, she's past the event horizon.

    If you are still of the opinion that I should wait and see, well, a few words for you:

    * You're an antisemite too.

    * Go fuck yourself.

    * In the off chance that everything turns out for the best, I'll eat humble pie, but not one day before that happens. I ain't holding my breath.

  11. "Elon Musk Says X (aka Twitter) Will No Longer Let You Block Other Users"

    :headache:

    I hope the picture they picked for the article comes through in the embed. He looks like a British Lord who decided that the peasants should just eat cake. (Yes, I know I'm mixing different folks here. So sue me!)

  15. Pursuant to the story above...

    "Hey? News outfit, how come you're still on Twitter? Did you sell your soul to the highest bidder?"

    "Not at all! We merely sold our soul to the highest Twitter. :derpface: "

  16. "Elon Musk’s X (Formerly Twitter) Is Imposing a 5-Second Delay on Links to Meta Apps, New York Times and Other Sites"

    So if you're a news organization, and you're still on Twitter, then either:

    a) You tell it like it is, and make Muskrat look like a complete douche, but you have to suffer a 5-second delay.

    b) You make Muskrat look like he's the second coming, and then you don't suffer the 5-second delay.

    So if you're a news organization and are on Twitter, either you bend backwards to please Muskrat, and sacrifice your ethics in the process, or you suffer a 5-second delay.

    If, as a news organization, you're happy with Twitter, I'm going to assume that you've sold your soul.
