Thank you for commenting on what I was getting at with this post.
I mean, it was a pretty arousing image.

Looking like Trump and all the crazies are coming back if this goes through.

So, it's done.

If it becomes the cesspool I suspect it will, is there anything else that's comparable if you just use it for sports stuff?

But won't that compete with Truth Social? Devin Nunes said Truth Social is destroying Twitter.

I used to know a site that did good sports lists, but I can't remember the address.

And scores!

Seriously, how do we think Twitter will change with Musk in charge? Maybe Trump and his psychos get back on, but as long as we can block and mute, would they affect our use of the site that much?
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

That would be a problem, a dealbreaker.

The Twitter native app is already problematic, it pushes so much crap i don’t want. Third party apps and the ability to mute make it work for me.

It would be awesome if enough people would band together to 'GameStop' twitter by jumping ship and tanking the value.

Too late for that. Best you can do is buy the stock and vote against the deal. Or offer more than $44 billion for it. Apple reportedly has cash on hand of over $200B. Bidding war?

Disinformation is an actual threat to military readiness. Of course all of you get that, but the assholes pushing it will claim victimhood.

That's hilarious. And she is a Life Coach! I was expecting this was going to be about the woman who wrote a book about how to kill your husband and then her husband turned up dead.

I was having a coffee date w/ a chick who told me she was a 'life coach'. Super chatty/adhd spicy hot redhead trainwreck type. Without a pause in the convo she booked herself tickets to some electronic music festival in Florida. She then paused, stared into space and muttered "fuck how am I going to pay for this?"

Come on!!! That is a comedy sketch premise. Just think how much of a mess someone has to be to pay her for advice.

I muted all that. What was he doing? I assume another republican move (the leak) to remove an embarrassment?
