anyway Twitter is still "up" but it is grinding inexorably towards collapse

There is no need for caffeine-free Coke as long as root beer exists.

good ole root beer

the beer of the ground

root beer is only good by itself or with ice cream, not food

Barq's root beer has caffeine and is yummy

Yeah I also grew up on caffeine free regular coke, the low threshold for caffeine that resulted meant that when I first got into coffee as an adult it felt like I had been plugged directly into gods brain.

Caffeine free diet coke is for people who had a diet coke habit and are now trying to cut down on caffeine. People who drink diet coke drink a lot if it.

The taste is likely comforting to the addict even if it lacks that sweet caffeine

sometimes you want a coke with dinner but it's too late in the day for caffeine

Pfft. I drink a 16 ounce glass of unsweetened iced tea at 10 PM for that last burst of writing energy before bedtime.

Also, Diet Coke is what you drink when there's no Coke Zero in the house.

I imagine caffeine-free Coke sales are higher in Utah.

I remember being in the back of the family car when caffeine-free Coke was new and my dad was talking about it with a friend of his in the front seat. The friend said, "First the cocaine, now this!" It was the first time young me learned what the Coca stood for.

coke zero the diet coke for mans (less caffeine)

I don't drink soda except I have a healthy seltzer addiction, I have a whole carbonation (NOT SODASTREAM) setup and everything lmfao.

I drank a lot of soda as a kid, tho— probably enough for a lifetime.

One of my writing mentors was addicted to Tab, and so whenever I come across one— a deep rarity, but an occasional occurrence— I drink one in his memory.

wonder if elon is drinking caffeine free diet coke because he’s on too many uppers generally (as has been speculated itt)

oops

SCOOP: Twitter didn't pay its current and former employees on time in the UK and Germany today. “It has come to our attention that some of you may not have received your November 2022 salary yet in your bank account,” an email sent this morning says.

ooh i have one of those pink rock-salt lamps (first pic)

it's not by my bed tho (it sheds salt everywhere and is not long for this world i think)

i have none of the other things

i keep an anton chigurh gun next to my bed

I am reluctant to defend this dum dum, and I think Musk is a bad troll, but the bedside table photo is likely a pun akin to "let that sink in." That is, his bedside table is cluttered with guns and coke. Get it, har har?

crystal lamps are entirely respectable and have no business being on that guy's bedstand. i bet a girlfriend is responsible for them.

Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America?

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 28, 2022

and another thing: im not mad. please dont put in the newspaper that i got mad.

Apple doesn't hate free speech, it hates anything free.

trying to bully the biggest company in the world should go well

I'm beginning to feel like Musk is stealing Trump's thunder among the absolutely fucking broken and worthless dickhole quotient of America who like their celebrities to be toxic, racist and awful.

Probably a good thing he can't run for president.

People still talking about the Tesla phone like it’s real 😭

hes def trying but like most trump imitators hes just got no game

Relevant MuskChat on Silicon Valley, dumbass infantile libertarianism, and Twitter culture scolds who couldn’t exist were it not for all the users they claim to hate on the network they claim to hate

Barq's root beer has caffeine

o fuk

at least with Trump there was some strange sort of charisma there, like he was a WWE heel. Elon is not only pathetic he's also incredibly boring

yeah doing a trump isnt that easy elon thinks he has the juice cause he was the beneficiary of a well executed pr campaign, but this is a whole other thing

xxpost Yeah, "Barq's has Bite."

Trump legitimately funny though. No try-hard photos for this king

The Coca Cola company is not happy with me--that's okay, I'll still keep drinking that garbage.

That's, like, Trump Classic though. The old formula.

Musk tells a colleague of mine that Apple is threatening Twitter’s standing in the App Store. Explains his string of tweets just now critiquing Apple. https://t.co/8FsbZENYRL

Apple has also threatened to withhold Twitter from its App Store, but won’t tell us why

re: failure to make payroll, they have employees in like 30 countries and no meaningful payroll department https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-payroll-finance-department-resigns-en-masse-under-elon-musk-2022-11.

they should just put a big bowl of cash by the door and you take some when you leave every day

Time to invent that phone!

he’s gotta put a camera in a hammer before that, sorry first come first served

this man is very silly, who knows if apple has actually threatened twitter with removal from the app store but if they did they did they certainly said why

they should just put a big bowl of cash by the door and you take some when you leave every day

Negotiating in public, always a good tactic. He doesn't seem to fully understand that nobody has to be on Twitter.

xp eh, it wouldn't be the first time. apple has history of either giving inscrutable reasons, or refusing to give reasons for rejections.

ironically prte-musk twitter did a much better job of designing an enforcable moderation policy and enacting it in a way that people understood than apple has ever done.

they didnt reject twitter tho, musks story is they called him up and threatened to do it and when he asked why they laughed and hung up, doesnt make much sense the whole point of a threat is to extract a concession

musk's story is a couple of engagement bait tweets that ask more questions than they answer

theyre nonsense
