daveshea@daringfireball @gruber the speed of light bit is ridiculously good
John Gruber@daveshea My favorite bit by far. 🙏

Chuck O'Rourke:verified:@daringfireball
First he took part in a Trump reelection event and now he’s supporting X. I’m starting to wonder about this Cook fella.
I think Linda’s getting great training to run as VP with Trump.
@Chuck_ORourke @daringfireball Muskrat wouldn’t stop complaning about the Apple-tax on the Appstore. Cook is only supporting Twitter/running ads on Twitter to make Melon shut up! And with Trumpet, it was the looming danger of tariffs for all things imported from China. And last time I checked, Apple was manufacturing quite a lot of iPhones over there.
We all have our “good” reasons for working with fascists. If Cook wants to be “Vichy” Apple well that’s his legacy and he has to live with it, counting his repatriated money.

Hubert Figuière@daringfireball The memo should have been written in the original San Francisco font.
Adam Younker@daringfireball I’d feel bad for her, but at the time she took the job it was pretty clear who Elon Musk was and what to expect from Twitter.

Jay Reding 🇺🇦@daringfireball Fucking brilliant!
Jade Smith@daringfireball @gruber this is your magnum opus (sorry)

@rexi We shall see.
Paul McGrane@daringfireball @gruber living by your “strong ideals, loosely held” mentality 👌
@daringfireball this is a famous case of a USA soldier blinking in morse code as a POW in Vietnam.
RM@daringfireball This is hilarious and sad all at the same time...
Kyle Nazario@daringfireball @gruber This is incredibly harsh, but also, where is the lie.
If I still worked in an office, I wouldn’t be able to open Twitter because of those fuckin barely not porn anime ads
Kevin Boyd (he/him) 🇨🇦@kn @daringfireball @gruber The lie is the apology in the last sentence.
Frankly, it's not harsh enough.
Joaquín@daringfireball the commas bit was particularly genious.
David Stein
Jorge@daringfireball I laughed, then I cried, then I laughed some more.
Jeff McFadden
Ryan Jones@daringfireball Slow. Clap.
Reminds me of this Being Right Point™ for me. https://twitter.com/rjonesy/status/1513375593642999815?s=46
Xavier Chaillot@daringfireball Gruber at his playful best !
@daringfireball Very witty and I learned something about physics.
Max@daringfireball the bits about the casino and hostages made me laugh out loud in the office.
Doctor Memory@daringfireball and to think you wrote this a few hours _before_ Elon personally intervened to restore the account of an antisemitic qanon influencer who posted child porn.
Nick Bodmer@daringfireball Now that’s a Daring Fireball Hall of Fame article.
@daringfireball I would not be surprised if she had a full stocked open bar in her office
Chris Carr
Doug Bailey@daringfireball that special relativity bit deserves a chef’s kiss emoji
David Civera👏👏👏 Gruber at his best.
Tekl@daringfireball @gruber Are all coders now forced to use Xcode for everything? ;)
@daringfireball If you sign up to become a ventriloquist puppet, you can’t complain when you get a hand up your butt!
David1280@daringfireball She was just a step away from singing ‘My Elon loves you…’

@daringfireball where’s the emoji for “spit take” my keyboard is covered with coffee and my lungs hurt. It’s so funny because it’s so sad.
Ken Disbrow@daringfireball Hilarious
Carloprina@daringfireball amazing work
Tim Ceuppens@daringfireball this is as close to perfection as you can get
Michael Vinson@daringfireball I thought you were kidding about the sex pill ad… 😳
Casper 👻
Radel@daringfireball :chefskiss:
FiveAcres@daringfireball doubt yaccarino is this self-aware, but loved reading your hostage translation despite that.
Anton Andreasson Gistedt@daringfireball Epic. 👌🏻
It all feels like a bad joke or a weird dream, doesn’t it? Why would anyone rename Twitter?
Kevin Miller@daringfireball this is a masterpiece.
@daringfireball It’s pronounced “ten”.
