    It’s too bad they didn’t start from the top and work their way down. Might have gotten lucky and ended up with this until work could resume:

      And that’s how you get Leo Laporte to sue. They already had a agreement not to sue Twitter since Twit was first.

        I don’t know if Leo cares about that anymore. He’s been saying he’s done with Twitter for a few weeks at least.

          At least a year.

          But in a recent TWIT (2 weeks ago maybe), all of the guest panelists admitted that they were all still maintaining their followings on Twitter and hopeful that they could move to Threads.

          It’s all just whores being whores, which is what Elon is relying on.

            Yep. I love The Majority Report and they spend a lot of entertaining minutes bashing Elon, and yet they still maintain their Twitter accounts. I understand engagement is important when you have a podcast, but at some point shouldn’t your morals take precedence?

    Reading that article, Musk was doing a half ass press conference while playing Diablo 4…

    I remember when Eldan Ring came out, he posted his build and someone did the math to figure out it would take at least 10 -12 hours per day of playing in order to get that shitty build…

    There’s nothing wrong with binge gaming… I just wish he would shut up and truly binge.

    Sam Bankman-Fried also did the whole “play games while in a meeting” bullshit. For some reason, people thought he was also a genius instead of a bargain rate con-man. There are parallels…

    I don’t use twitter, I’m not a musk fan or hater, but you need permits to block the street w/ equipment. Thems the rules…

    They haven’t paid rent, why would the building owner even let them modify anything on the building?

    His fans trying to compare it to Google creating Alphabet Inc. while they use the #thinkdifferently tag. I don’t know whether to laugh at their repeated stupidity or feel sorry for them. Wait until they hear about X, the Google R&D subsidiary.

    Idunno about you, but I’m going to continue calling it twitter whenever I derisively refer to it or think of it at all. If only because it would make the manbaby angry/sad.
