Okay, hear me out...
With the corporations like Meta, Threads, Amazon, Xitter (the Shirtbird site, i.e. Twitter), etc. crapping all over the LGBTQ+ folks, scrapping their DEI programs, allowing hate on their platforms, I'm forced to come to this conclusion:
Whatever programs they previously had were not based on honest beliefs. They were just going through the motions because they believed that it made money. Thus, they were virtue signaling for the sake of money.
I sure plan to remember this, when the wind shifts again, and they decide that reinstating some of those programs is in their best interest.

PSA: Don't put in your dating profile "active on Twitter."
😬
You might as well put "I'm proud to be a shitbag."
Maybe you have a good reason to still have a Twitter account. Okay. Don't talk about it in your dating profile as if it were a plus.
The only appropriate way to talk about a Twitter account these days is to do it sheepishly, with your eyes downcast, and in hushed tones, very much aware of the shame it implies.
Yeah, that profile was rejected immediately. I've already dated a queer Republican. I'm not looking for a repeat.
(No, I did not know initially that she was a Republican. She revealed that months into our relationship. :headache: )

"What's that?"
"Oh, it's my Twitter box."
"Hmm.... it looks like a litter box to me."
"Yes, but it's full of shit... so I call it a Twitter box."

"Marjorie Taylor Greene spreads bizarre message about 10-year-old girl’s future orgasms"
That 10-year-old girl is trans, so I guess that gave MTG the green light.
FFS... I give MTG the Indomitable Pisspot Award for jackassery.
Don't read the article if you cannot stand misgendering.
I'd also say that LGBTQ Nation did a piss poor job here. Why should I have to go to Xitter to see the original TikTok without the Xitter shit around it? It took me 5 minutes to find the link and I'm a TikTok dunce.
I'm going to post a direct link as a reply to this post.

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.

"X rolls out new ad format that can't be reported, blocked
The new ads also don't disclose who the advertiser is or that they are even ads."

"X users will need protection after the ‘block’ feature is removed – here’s why businesses are better than people at moderating negative comments"
The article makes the argument that businesses are better placed to police content.
I call bullshit on this notion.
What the businesses will do is remove content that is critical of them, and boost content that makes it look like their shit is worth buying.
If you think anything else will happen, you're an idiot.

"Update: Under Linda Yaccarino, X is placing ads for major brands on a verified pro-Hitler account"
:headache:
Any more comments on my part feel like belaboring the point at this stage.

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: "

"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.

"Linda Yaccarino celebrates her first public victory as X CEO by reviving an advertising council Elon Musk disbanded"
When you have no accomplishments in a new job, anything will look like a victory.
You know what? I think it won't be a victory, but I'm ready to be proved wrong. Calling this a victory *now*, however, is quite premature.
So far I've been proved right that Yaccarino has made no difference to the way Twitter is run. It was a dumpster fire before her, and it still is.

"Linda Yaccarino says Twitter will reinstate ‘client council’ for ad execs"
I know some are going to gloat and say "See? I told you!" For my part, I'm going to believe that this will make a difference when it does make a difference.
One tactic of tinpot dictators is to reinstate the institutions that they destroyed. However, those new institutions are empty shells. They do the bidding of the tinpot dictator.
Yaccarino: "It would be good optics to bring back the client council."
Muskrat: "Alright, but I can ignore their complaints and override all their decisions."
Yaccarino: "But... it will be a powerless body."
Muskrat: "Yes, that's the point."

"Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X, says she has autonomy from Elon Musk to run the business"
Wow, I did not know that #Yaccarino had started a career in standup comedy. Good for her!

#Muskrat takes another handle. He took @X, now he's taking @music. I've said it before, if you are still on the Shitbird site at this point, you are an idiot.
As the victim in the article points out, you can build a great following on the Shitbird site and then have it taken away from you in an instant.

How long before the Shitbird site decides that people who want to hide the mark should pay for the privilege?

Elon Musk really want to call Twitter, X. I move that we call it hex, and that sending a message to someone be called sending a hex to someone.
"Hey, I hexed you! Why did you not answer."
👍

(I was thinking of putting a hastag-x in my list, but that would be stupid. As much as I hate Twitter, it has a distinctive name. What's next? Alphabet just calling itself A?)

"Never wrestle with a pig. You just get dirty and the pig enjoys it." - Anonymous
People calling themselves "journalists" are wrestling with a pig (the Shitbird site), they are getting dirty, and the pig is enjoying it.
I've read the article below, and what I take out of it is that the vast majority of journalism is bread and circuses. As bread and circuses, they are quite happy to stay on the Shitbird site, because what they peddle is entertainment and not actually journalism.
It is really not *hard* to have a *real* presence in the Fediverse. If a news outlet or a journalist has no presence in the Fediverse, that is because THEY DO NOT CARE to be here.
Nothing else.
But if what they peddle is bread and circuses, maybe they should stay there.

Standard #CEO playbook. When the company goes well, it is because of the CEO. When the company craters, it is due to external forces.
(I know #Musk is not CEO anymore... but do you really think #Yaccarino is not a CINO (a CEO In Name Only)?)
Musk's own #bullshit couldn't possibly be to blame.

As the Bretwalda appears to have left the #ShitBirdSite, may we serfs hope that the irregular potato distributions will now commence in this place? (The occasional tomato would be welcome, too.). #Wulferhampton
