Opinions are like assholes. There’s a lot of them on Twitter.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

I've been assured that "blue-check" Twitterati have a higher status than the rest of us plebs.

Will be, won’t he?
Musk has until Oct.28 to actually buy Twitter or face a Delaware court case.

From the RWEC:
First, that “the public conversation is in jeopardy.” Why, yes, I do believe that’s why many have objected to the heavy-handed censorship that’s been notable on the platform in recent years — something in which many of those worker bees seemingly have played an eager role.
Second, characterizing Musk’s rumored intentions as “worker intimidation.” So…the prospect of losing one’s job is intimidating, eh? Friends, may I introduce you to “cancel culture,” and the progressive Twitter mob?
Third, all the demanding. I don’t know how to break it to these 21st Century Norma Rae wannabes but while I don’t begrudge them petitioning their would-be employer for redress, the haughty, entitled tone is precious. Let’s examine the dynamic: The employees work for the company (voluntarily), so its boss is, in fact, the boss of them.
Conversely, the Government works for We the People — and, in fact, our right to petition the Government for redress is enshrined in the First Amendment — so we are, in fact, “the boss” in that dynamic. Yet, when conservatives protest government overreach, they’re a “threat to democracy,” and calls for Twitter to be treated as a true public square, where speech remains free, have been dismissed as whackadoo, fringey, rightwingery.
Anyhoo, I don’t know about you, but I’m getting the popcorn ready to watch how this all plays out.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

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

Let that sink in?
God, that guy is so far up his own arse I bet he thinks the world smells just great.
My guess is that he'll make Twitter even worse than it is already.
