This morning, to wake myself up, I read about Poison Pills because that's basically where this nonsense is all headed:

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/poisonpill.asp

Unless just Elon retreats into the lift of a significant shareholding shitposter, the Twitter board probably needs to pass some poo poo to ward off an Elon Musk hostile takeover. The Twitter Market Cap is ~38B, and Elon's worth ~274B, so he very well could try to buy enough stock to get 50%+1. Then again, the SEC would likely *again* have a word about that kind of thing.

Or Elon's about to dump the poo poo at a mild gain for the lulz.

The SEC hasn't done anything to muskman yet and they're not about to start now.

Nah, just riffing. But it wouldn't surprise me in the least since I remember hearing SEC personnel trying to jump ship to the private sector all the time.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Yeah, they were just going over it talking to some fireman who couldn't help but bring up 9/11.

Apparently the call was for smoke first, so the fire department responded and found a shooting scene. Those transit cops sure are doing a great job. :thumbsup:

I love the reaction to this is to add more cops on the subway because more cops would have totally done something in this case.

Look if we put a cop at every turnstile 24/7 to prevent jumpers then this wouldn't have happened. That's just the price of freedom. Eventually when everyone is a cop there's nobody to do crimes. So simple.

The full title would be sergeant major so the plural would be sergeant majors. Putting the plural at sergeants would indicate the major is separate or theres a comma (sergeants, major or major sergeants) if it was spoken. At least in English it would be a little funny to break it up like that.

Or at least that's how I would read it but I'm basically illiterate.

Pluralize the noun not the adjectives

Dang. Yeah I remember probably a decade ago We Hate Movies had him as a guest when they were a tiny show and he was bringing his A material and energy, it was cool how he did that at no benefit to himself. He was hilarious as Mister Mxyzptlk.
