Maybe Texas will pass a law that you can’t stop advertising on Twitter if you operate in Texas, and you can’t not operate in texas.

That would fix it, I guess.
Suspend doesn't meant quit. Advertisers want eyeballs. If Twitter can furnish eyeballs, it's business as usual.

Maybe the southern poverty law center can begin tracking companies who do business with sites affiliated with hatred. Then the actuaries can tally the cost of being on the list vs the benefit of advertising on whichever site they please.

Slow infield fly, even if Elon hadn’t already made the joke a couple of days ago.

Those are complicated plays that they even had to add a massive rules kludge to account for.

That sounds like a lady I know. Never had her as a boss, but I know people who did. 100++++% dedicated to work. No outside life at all. My friend got a text (or email) from her at something like 1 am, and then got "chewed out" because he did not answer it until 8 am the next morning.

8 bucks a month for Twitter?
Fuck that for a game of soldiers.

Well.
Note that Musk agrees.

Also, someone was wondering if journalists who use "they/them" as pronouns will have to pay $16 because "they" identify as multiple people.

18 years ago that happened to me after my employer in WI was purchased. I have no emotional memory of having been fired so I guess I didn’t care much. But my team was oopsed back into employment soon thereafter. Then several months later we were given an ultimatum to move to CA, because they couldn’t fathom maintaining a remote team. That’s when my total domination of an entire leftist state began. After that process was complete, I moved on.

By the way, was this a rule previously on Twitter? Seems like no, since he said “going forward….”
But then he said he was making no moderation changes until his committee meets. But that was a couple of days ago so who knows.

I guess it depends on how you define "moderation." I would think that impersonating someone else falls outside of the traditional definition.
BTW, she signed back in, using her (dead) mother's account to comment.
Someone said, "That's like getting thrown out of a party because you pissed in the punch bowl, and then dressing up like someone else, asking to be let back in."

Supposedly that number is less than 50.
