Would we be reading this if he hadn't bought and corrupted twitter?
You ever just think about how much it sucks that Musk bought Twitter and absolutely destroyed it? Like man, that used to be where I'd meet new people, make real life friends, etc. Now, whenever I glance over there to check something, it's just unrecognizable.

As I post using a decentralized protocol, I am reminded that the Internet isn't done being useful yet.
Rather, our present moment seems to be a somewhat ugly stage of metamorphosis.
With time and intention, the Internet will emerge in a new form. Hopefully as graceful and elegant as a butterfly.

So wild that the internet has just become unusable in the last few years.

I think Ghislaine Maxwell is aware that she holds a lot of power right now, but she can go down in history if she makes an epic about-face and implicates Trump beyond a shadow of doubt.
This is the outcome of this chapter I am hoping for.

This is too good not to share. Probably the funniest and most appreciable statement the press secretary has made.
Irony knows no bounds.
Leavitt without a trace of irony: "When you have a totalitarian regime, you have to save face. I think any common sense, open-minded person knows the truth about the precision strikes on Saturday night. They were wildly successful."

That pie will be served hot.
Climate change is going to spike and the very richest will make still more money off the poorest, because that is who gets nailed by climate change.
They want a slice of the pie and don't care who's hurt or killed.

These have been great. Except for the "play with me" button, which my dog insists on pressing every 5 seconds when she is bored.
