Disgusting reprobates, all of them.

I'm not sure about *more* destructive than Brexit, but at least certainly equivalent. This will be inflationary, destroy jobs, and reduce the real world wealth of millions of Americans. For no purpose that I can understand.

Replete with fake quotes and sources!

Not abstract ranting, dealing with this today.

Hear ya, but IMO Twitter was a place for people who thought themselves important to pontificate at other people who thought themselves important. I'm not certain that it ever actually steered convos, may have just reflected the zeitgeist. Now, I'm even less convinced important matters arise there.

Is it though? Some people still use twitter, to be sure, but I don't think its influence remains strong. Not sure how to objectively measure that however. Re TikTok, other than shutting it down completely I don't see a way to escape its influence. IMO, short form video should be banned outright.

I agree wholeheartedly, but that doesn't alter the fact that Twitter is less influential now than before he bought it. I can only hope that, should he acquire tik tok in his insatiable lust for power, he would similarly corrupt and weaken it.

It is telling. But the good news is that Musk has a solid track record of destroying social media companies, so perhaps this might be for the best.

I can't tell you how happy I was to see this! Very fun and great memories.

I am sure that generations of residents of Soviet brutalist structures continue to think warmly of your dorm and Iowa!
