this was a genuine q, btw, but now I think you were asking this b/c of tucker's non-compete?

tuckers claiming fox breached his contract https://www.axios.com/2023/05/09/tucker-carlson-fox-news-letter-fraud

patiently waiting for my 88yo mom's text about how to set up a twitter

If her handle is "88yo" she probably already knows

very nice lol

ive been enjoying blocking the blue its funny to me

same

billionaire starts alt right publication, recruits tucker carlson

me: can't wait to joke around in comments section of the really nasty stuff, and post my own content, and look at the adverts

No, I meant like telling me you have a show on Twitter is like telling me your new album is coming out on gmail.com.

it's like telling me your new album is coming out on gmail.com and then sund4r pichai, the CEO of google, promotes your album

Nobody is going to watch it, chill.

lol Elon should charge extra for it. Tucker+.

Just like no one looked at the Twitter files

If her handle is "88yo" she probably already knows

The most off-putting culture clash to me right now is the way so many Asian accounts and/or companies have 88 in their name because in their culture it means like "super good luck," so I get emails from some streetwear company called 88 Rising and shudder every time.

idk, Pitchfork is reviewing the album of a white guy named "NxxxxxS"

nice website

Guess what it suggests if you type “two”

apparently Elon Musk's Free Speech Boyz are posting animal abuse and then replying to people who complain about it with gifs and videos of animal abuse, absolutely charming

the new ceo (apparently) on musk back in november:

pretty funny swisher tweeted it out as speculation

Here is my first best guess here: ⁦@lindayacc⁩ of NBC. I will have more. (Musk says has found new CEO for Twitter | Reuters) https://t.co/HN4oNSeNj0

they've been complimenting each other publicly for months, she's the only advertiser who supported him, he has no interest in advertising and wants to continue running all other aspects of the business, so it's a good fit.

i wonder if the press is learning. musk tweeted that the deal is done (but did not say the name). the press is reporting the name (presumably from a source other than musk) but is saying they are "in talks" (i.e. is not trusting musk)

it’ll be interesting because there’s no one alive who he hasn’t turned his back on or fallen out with within months of a close relationship now

I fully expect the stupid Tucker streaming bid to go wrong in three ways, Carlson says something mildly critical, and Musk acts like he’s unpersoned

having an advertising person as ceo and musk running product doesnt seem like a recipe for success

understanding that you need to fix the ad business is good leaving the guy who killed the ad business in charge of the tools he did it with will prob not work

The idea of that cat thing just makes me wanna fucking die

Jack Posobiec, Mike Pompeo, David Sacks’ anti-Ukraine rhetoric, Matt Taibbi’s first Twitter Files thread, anti-immigrant rhetoric from Larry Elder

It actually took one of my kids to point out that celebrating a favourite tennis player with one of the years they were most successful (beat Agassi in LA the week Blue Bell Knoll came out!) as my Twitter handle was, er, no longer ok. But :shrug: At least my Insta handle means "f--- H", maybe?

favourite tennis player with one of the years they were most successful (beat Agassi in LA the week Blue Bell Knoll came out!)

This was a lot of homework, Mr. Jones, but I finished the assignment and learned a few things along the way.

:)

I could've avoided a whole heap o'trouble by just going with the year of the Connors match everyone* remembers. But that was painful! (* - almost no one)

We shall henceforth refer to '88 as the Year of Daydream Nation

it is a very, very funny day on twitter

complaints that she's a wef/davos board member in elon's mentions

lmao https://twitter.com/search?q=WEF&src=typed_query

total meltdown. it's all over. everybody back to truth social. commie wokester in charge.

woke commie would've been better way of saying that.

lol at the notion that ANY corporate executive in America is a "far left loon"

Elon Musk … the woke mind virus is a threat to the world.

Also Elon Musk … I just hired a far left loon deeply infected with the woke mind virus to run Twitter.

Twitter 2.0 was fun while it lasted - get ready for it to suck again.

a rare miss from Catturd TM

Judging by her likes she seems like a slightly lower key type of shithead so

lmao that your profile tells everyone how many feeds you subscribe to, not how many are subscribed to you. thats so dumb...who wants people to know what you subscribe to?

I am excited to officially take on the role as CEO of Twitter. This has been in the works for months. https://t.co/I46A4zKh1O

What to make of this?

what to make of this?

no doubt gathering intelligence on the rebels to share with her Davos cronies

I scrolled all the way to the end of her follows, and one of the first 10 accounts she followed (after, like, Kim Kardashian and Steve Martin) was Paul Ryan. So, she seems like ... a Republican.

Did your brain fall out of your head, Yglesias? The choice is have Twitter throttled in its entirety or limit access to some tweets. Which one do you want?

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 13, 2023

“Did your brain fall out of your head, Yglesias” is a good line.

i see that elon tweeted out some pepe shit at 3 am about the first amendment being the freedom to share memes with your alt right friends and the second amendment being the solution for when "they" try to prevent the sharing of memes. then the first several dozen replies are blue checkmarks with a bunch of people who love pepe and cryptocurrency

z_tbd - I want to point out that that specific spelling of friends - "frens" - is specifically white supremacist and anti-semetic.
