    Yeah, but at least she doesn't have pink hair! :soma:

    Fascism is done ruining death metal, and Youtube, so now they're going to try cosplay.
    I mean, they can try.
    Good luck, suckers.

    Would you give Elmo your PII and credit card info to use Twitter?

    At this point, I actually am agreeing with Musk. Charge every Twitter addict out there. Put them into the gutter like every junkie out there. Every Twitter user needs to die at the hands of elon. Put them all on his human centipede and the human race will be rid of the scum when it rots from the ass forward.

    I found an excellent way to reduce spam on there. I muted Musk.

    Pre Musk, my feed tended to filled with left wing nutters. Post, right wing nutters.

    The political wing bit was never the problem, the nutter bit was.

    My best way to filter the horrors of twitter was to let other people bring me tweets.

    I just found a few funny accounts and checked in on them occasionally. Without ever making an account.

    I rather hope they turn him down on the grounds that they don’t believe he’ll pay up.

    I'm sure that he would try to renege, but I think under general contract principles (at least in the U.S.) if they in fact do change their name for a year, they could force him to pay up.

    Yeah, but kinda like Musk refusing to pay rent on Twitter HQ these things don’t go quick if you have enough money.

    One day he’s offering a billion dollars for Dickapedia

    The next day he’s lecturing everyone on what he thinks the solution to the Ukraine Russia war should be like he’s an authoritative figure on the situation

    There’s something seriously wrong here
