This is such an obvious point but it is so funny to me that Elon's free-speech crusade on Twitter lasted all of six weeks before he started indiscriminately banning reporters. Like what an all-time hilarious business story

@Barnacules @opensea I could take a screenshot and send it to my printer I'd end up with the same thing.

@rbreich I think that he'll do poorly and blame others (of course) then end up running as an Independent and take votes away from Republicans. Crash and burn. If he doesn't have a stroke due to the stress or from covid.

YouTube says we'll see videos the "Canadian Government regulator has prioritized, rather than content they are interested in." Well #YouTube does that now. It's the same spammy crap over and over. #YouTube even unsubscribes me from my favourite channels. #Canada #BillC11#streaming

@gsuberland why is it even on the front? Didn't old models have it on the back? Or am not remembering my Cisco lab classes well?

@stephenking I'd say Darya Dugina would have been even worse than Putin.

The profits of ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP and Shell have skyrocketed by 169% so far this year to $125 billion.

While you were paying through the nose at the gas pump, Big Oil companies were using the cover of inflation to line their pockets.

It's time for a windfall profits tax.

@bbcworld except the "mothers" were shown to be at other pro Putin events. They're just props.

@Swish7 @emmetoneill @hereforasec @marcelias I can see ther point. It's not "fighting for" but "fighting against". The more sane people that leave means the ratio of sane:crazy people tips towards the crazy side. It would be good if it got so bad that Musk would sell the site even at a loss. Don't abandon it yet but don't use it as much to decrease daily use stats. Many advertisers are leaving or have left.
