  1. 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.

  2. 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: )

    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!)

  7. "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.

  8. "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."

  9. "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.

  10. 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.
