    pics or it is worthless.

    I am getting tired of listening to some reporter give us the play by play when we are in the age of easily obtained digital video and audio recorders. This isn't 2000 anymore people and it is nice that journalists want to keep their radio announcer johs, but video or fuck the fuck off because I I want to see his tears so I can drink from his misery. God damn, I would even visit twitter for some good elon crying over his lost money video or audio. I might ask for a Blue sky invite. I akm sure as fuck not doing that to listen to some self important journalism twat to tell me what happened.

    We had Mittens Romnifellert on tape telling us all how the nobodies did not matter and laughing at the poors at his elite dinner with all his rich friends because some busboy recorded him. You are telling me we cannot get some housekeeper at elon's home drop off a secret camera or two by now?

    It is a funny joke, but if you think for more than a tweeter can Elon is probably on the high side of the stupid, but that is a dumpster fire of stupid.

    I will say he is the only billionaire stupid enough to buy and crash the dumpster fire.

    That was my first thought, but the article seems to say her lawyers only tracked him for a week last month.

    Tell me you’ve never had a good ginger beer without saying that you’ve never had a good ginger beer.

    NBCUniversal has suspended advertising on X / Twitter

    X CEO Linda Yaccarino was previously the head of NBCUniversal’s advertising

    the CEO of this platform could not get her former employer to “stand with” X after Elon Musk voiced approval of an antisemitic conspiracy theory

    https://bsky.app/profile/mattbinder.bsky.social/post/3kehwvol74t2s

    Ouch. That has to hurt.

    So Tim Pool is throwing his money into the Twitter dumpster fire? There is some Trump level business expertise.
