some people want to be ceo more than they want money

i've seen this guy speak and let's just say he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who was pleased when the ball came his way in PE.

lol

musk is now setting the stage for canceling the deal over dumb reasons his fanatics will believe.

Second week of this poor deluded bluebird pecking at his own reflection. He will never mate, or nest, or propel his DNA into the next generation nor even have time for an auto fiction about his atrophied life. pic.twitter.com/Ux7XmY5GcK

Twitter is cool

The whole thing about Twitter "spam accounts" reminded me that when I joined Twitter in 2012, I would occasionally get followed by some super-obvious spam account like a Sexy Lady Looking to Chat or a Digital Marketing Business Guru, and at first I was baffled as to why they would bother *following* me, and then I realized that it was essentially just putting an ad in my mentions. Anyway, that hasn't happened in a really long time, and it makes me wonder whether those types of accounts specifically target new users, or whether Twitter just got better at weeding out stuff like that.

Sounds like an out to me

LONDON (AP) — Musk says deal to buy Twitter can’t go forward unless company can show that less than 5% of accounts are fake or spam.

Gonna avoid twitter tonight like I avoid the streets the night the local team wins the superbowl

"he won! he won!"

the fuck did he win?

I uninstalled the app last week, I simply couldn’t deal with this shit. Don’t see myself going back for a while.

Ilxors list which well-known US bobos they have previously honked

So many honked bobos

A callout of SDL led to discourse about the term "PAWG". During that discourse, @APunishedBill found himself disagreeing with the "PAWG is racist" folks.

This, imo, can be considered the inciting incident. 1/?

I literally cannot parse that at all.

I mean, I could click on it to try to work it out, but why would I punish myself like that?

That’s kind of the point
It’s a torturous history of the “Anne Frank had white privileged” mess

Just realized that a $1b breakup fee from Musk (were Twitter to get it) would represent more in net income for Twitter than it has made in aggregate in its lifetime as a company

if it were net income

lol

it really is quite a thing (pointed out by matt levine in bloomberg/the other thread) how the twitter board is kinda bound by its duty to its shareholders to demand its own destruction

usin twitter like it’s facebook you love to see it

Jizz

As a result of Truss's new campaign slogan, Jizz for Liz.

oh, I see, people want a piece of Jizz Hornkamp again. thankfully his manager has already asserted that “Jizz is not for sale”.

the corrupt Forest chairman will have been illegally tapping up Jizz for a while now going by previous behaviour.

this is how you get people to engage with your content on twitter.

how can you defend this?

how can someone convince another person that this is good music?

because apart from the last few seconds, this is unlistenable, i fully believe that bjork bribed reviewers to write good reviews. pic.twitter.com/cF6voYxICc

i know i'm a particularly old 34 because i just can't find any upside to the way music is discussed/argued/reviewed on twitter/youtube/reddit. it's atrocious and i never want to witness it.

so I guess the question would be, can a piece which is intentionally striving in all ways to attain the state of being 'anti-music' simultaneously be considered a piece of music? sounds like a job for the Magic 8-Ball (tm).

the Bjork track hardly seems like "anti-music", it's just a bit noisy in places

lol that was amazing bait, just Bjork army catnip

song rips btw

worst part is all the replies backing up their blatantly wrong position, but this is yet again an example of "someone says something stupid on the internet" being treated as noteworthy.

is this person blaspheming "Pluto"?

if so, the sentence is death

you never have to care about what some random person on the internet says. that’s a fact

lol true

"Pluto" rules

If your goal is to become Twitter's main character for the day you've got to take a shit on Taylor Swift or BTS, '90s Bjork isn't going to get enough traction.

Yeah, I honestly don't think this person was trolling. I looked at his feed and the previous tweet was a QT of someone else saying essentially the same thing about the same clip. The rest of his tweets are stanning for Ariana Grande.

this is probably biased because of my bubble (media twitter) but i feel like hating on taylor swift just isn't remarkable enough to go viral.

bjork makes perfect sense to me though. like she has always been a bit of a line in the sand for basic pop fans and she's a big enough star that everyone, especially media types, has an opinion about her.

it's weird i've seen a few different tweets slamming "noisy" music today, including a tiktok showing some teens doing like a bare bones prurient performance and the tweeter saying it was the worst thing they've ever seen, lol.

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/08/twitter-says-musks-spam-analysis-used-tool-that-called-his-own-account-a-bot/

that tweet is almost exactly how I felt (minus “the last 3 seconds”) when I saw post Malone on snl

Hating on 25 years old tracks by Bjork is the pop equivalent of classical philistines still complaining about serialism from 1922.

tons of weird promoted tweets touting emmy nominations lately — am i really supposed to be psyched to watch star trek picard because it was nominated for an ‘outstanding prosthetic makeup’ award

Really, this app is proof you can have everything to be happy, and yet.

The self-destructive drive that this app/website encourages in people is really spectacular. For no reason at all, and under little provocation, people just log in and self-immolate.

I actually think my mood has improved markedly since I deleted my Twitter account. Seriously.
