Both Twitter and Reddit are pretty fun if you use them in a targeted way that suits your interests.

Correct I follow local reddit pages and avoid the toxic mess that is the reddit trending page.

More I think about this, the more I think this is a troll job on the part of Elon Musk.  Well, at least the $20 price point.  I'm fairly sure he'll roll out a price point for verified users, but might have floated the $20 price for shits and giggles for the lulz to cause the Twitterariat to flip out while causing a great laugh at the not-small portion of people who don't like "blue checkmarks" and just view them as the ruling class/elites who need to be taken down a peg or five.

 

If it were nearly anyone else, I wouldn't even entertain the notion.  But $20 for Twitter Blue on the face of it seems ridiculous, and wildly excessive.  Factor in that Elon Musk has gone Full Anti Elite (or at least Full Anti Twitter Elite), and well, won't be surprised if I'm wrong and I'm in fact being too cynical.  But I won't be surprised if I'm right, either.  Like, at all.

Gotta recuperate his $44 billie loss. Look for those Tesla stocks to tank when he sells 😂. He conned himself this time.

lol yeah he did big time

 

It is deeply amusing though monetizing the egos/vanity of wealthy verified blue check twitter addicts always looking for that dopamine rush & validation with likes/RTs via hot takes, soundbites, sensationalism, & contrarianism

 

running twitter into the ground might be a net positive for civilization until its replacement inevitably pops up

No more reviews and box office reports from Scott

 

 

Two big changes: I will no longer be reviewing movies at any professional outlet. More importantly, I will no longer be doing daily/weekend box office posts. pic.twitter.com/hocDfGUWiS

It's pretty new, hopefully the answers get a bit more challenging in time.

Interesting. I gave up on Wordle months ago but might try this out for a bit. Solved today’s in first guess.

Elon Musk just tweeted a BS comspiracy theory about the attack on Pelosi's husband.

My skepticiam of Musk outside of Space X (which I fully support) is turning to a real dislike.

I really think that Time Man Of The Year award went to his head and his ego is in overdrive.

Thought I think he move to the far right politically has hurt him badly with many people who were admireres of his.

Musk just dissolved the Twitter Board of Directors.

Now the Regional Governors will get full powers...

Bosnaro not conceding; some of his spokesman spreading  doubt about the honsesty of the election.

He is gong to try to do a Donald Trujmp.

I haven't watched any of that Lord of the Rings show since the first two episodes (which I didn't hate but weren't good enough for me to add it to my appointment TV). Should I even bother with the rest of the season?

 

If you're a fan of Tolkien and the LOTR trilogy, it's a must watch. Excellent.

Lula seems to be in a tough spot though like Biden.

 

All the govenors in major rich areas went right, the congress as well

The race was super  close about 1.5%.means he the right will be highly motivated.

Country is very split and divided.  

 

This is not like the early 2000s at all for Lula.

Well, it did make me rinse off and re-read the book again for the first time in 20 years!  I just ordered this beauty.
