Elon’s new Twitter CEO, whose identity has not been revealed but who Elon says will be female, should be someone who has shown more ability than he has navigating a high-stakes, controversy-prone leadership role. The choice is obvious.
@MissingThePt Before reading the alt text, I thought this was Carly Fiorina.
@MissingThePt I saw the picture before reading the text and was like β€œhe’s hired Liz Truss?!” And I’m AMERICAN, why can I recognize her on sight. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
@ouinne: Perhaps it's the theme music of her predecessors' ministers resigning. Even USA Today covered it: https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/boris-johnson-resigning-benny-hill-song-hugh-grant-parliament
@MissingThePt
Boris Johnson's resignation led to a great Benny Hill song prank ... and Hugh Grant's involved?

Yes, that’s the Benny Hill song being played outside of Parliament in the wake of Boris Johnson resigning.

For The Win

@ouinne:

In order to put that clown car in the proper context:

More ministers quit early Thursday morning, including Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis, Treasury Minister Helen Whately and Security Minister Damian Hinds.

A Sky News tally put the total number of departures at 59 as of 10 a.m. London time.

@ouinne:

And then, Liz Truss became the PM, but she wouldn't last as long as a head of lettuce.

Future history textbooks are going to be some fun reading.

@MissingThePt

@riley @MissingThePt yes the lettuce surviving her was a clown moment for the ages. πŸ˜‚
@MissingThePt
And I was thinking Marissa Mayer would be perfect as Twitter CEO
@MissingThePt @colarusso_algo … one clarification: at least 1 source suggests her actual technical title is COO … husk will still technically act as (legal; sic) CEO …
@MissingThePt Let's be real. It's his mom.
