If there is consolation for @Twitter being destroyed, it’s that the price of used @Tesla cars has been in absolute free fall over the last 90 days.

Has Musk owning Twitter spurred a change of heart among conservatives about repealing Section 230 and letting social media companies be sued for speech on their platforms?

Bye bye Elon @binarybits
I changed my mind. The Times and the Post should just ban their reporters from using Twitter period. The sooner people move to Mastadon the better.

Honestly I hope the @nytimes and @washingtonpost ban their reporters from tweeting until their reporters are reinstated. Other media organizations should follow suit. It would not be acceptable to have elon holding the threat of account suspension over reporters’ heads.

Was browsing Weibo and lo and behold, China has a bunch of quack doctors promoting HCQ and Ivermectin as "cures" for COVID now too. Truly we are brother nations (full of fucking idiots)

I’ll just say I’m glad she’s interested in GiveDirectly and hope she will continue to ponder the cost/benefit of some of this other stuff relative to a cash baseline.

News organizations like the NYT already had mixed feelings about their reporters using Twitter and if you can now be suspended from Twitter for doing fairly straightforward reporting, you have to wonder if that's the tipping point.

Truly, the “I’m gonna build a rescue submarine” of tweets. First rate craftsmanship.
