          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            The interesting part about all the crying and rending of cloth, is that Musk is only taking Twitter back to what it originally was...

            “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

            Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

              That's pretty much what Jack Dorsey claims.

                Written by a friend:

                Virgil Caine was my name and I worked at Twitter HQ
                Till Elon Musk bought us up, and I didn’t know what to do
                In the Spring of ’22, we were all woke, the whole bloody crew
                But by April, Musk was our boss,
                our control had taken such a loss

                The night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
                and all its algorithms
                The night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
                and brought free speech with him
                they went, “La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la”

                I sat in my Tesla and had a good cry
                wiping the tears from my eye
                you know Trump’ll be back and our narrative might as well die
                I can’t handle all that truth
                And now that we’ve lost Ruth
                there no sense in going to Court
                and it’s too late to start selling short”

                The night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
                and all its algorithms
                The night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
                and brought free speech with him
                they went, “La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la”

                Unlike my father before me, I can’t work the land,
                Facebook, Google, and Tik Tok, are all I have planned,
                31, looking for work
                blew my hips out trying to twerk
                I swear on my avatar’s life
                I’ll just have to make it on the salary earned by my wife

                The night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
                and all its algorithms
                The night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
                and brought free speech with him
                they went, “La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

                  Next thing you know, Elon will create his own cologne. The name will be...

                  Musk, by Musk.

                      That was used when he mused on Twitter about taking Tesla private and got in trouble with the SEC.

                          @jon-nyc "Free Speech" means defending speech you hate.

                          See ACLU, Skokie, Nazis.

                            We all know what to say out loud if we want to tempt the wrath of the 'far left'. What does one say out loud that would run afoul of the 'far right', again?

                            Education is extremely important.

                                    Who is Talcom? Who is Shaun? When I open Twitter I can't tell which is a new tweet and which is a pinned tweet, or who tweeted him! What is going on! WHAT IS ROBLOX! WHAT IS ELDEN KING!

                                      Hmmm…..

                                      We all know what to say out loud if we want to tempt the wrath of the 'far left'. What does one say out loud that would run afoul of the 'far right', again?

                                      More or less the opposite? Transwomen are women, biological sex is not real, Trump lost in a landslide, etc.

                                      I understand there are opposing positions to classically right positions, I’m just curious what sort of speech the “far right” would use its power to silence or cancel. Or maybe this discussion should start with an acknowledgment that the “far right” has no power to silence or cancel, while the “far left” has all that power within the moderation practices of big tech, and within the culture in general. But that power imbalance would fly in the face of any claim that both sides are equally problematic, so we know it can’t be true.

                                      Education is extremely important.
