This woman is frankly progressive compared to how self destructive and racist a lot of US business owners I had to work with were. Similarly, the person responsible for nearly 50 million dollars in ad spends at a major business was into mixing painkillers and high end wine then approving plans they would later scream at you over once their dissociative episode ended.

They think they are the source of all of their own success. It validates their ego rather than recognizing the luck of the dao.

I can't help myself lately, but I've been starting to look at the comments on stuff like this. So many more chuds are crawling out of the poo poo piles and feeling emboldened. It's like when Trump took office and every two-bit idiot thought that meant it was time to "take back" what was never theirs.

Honestly that sounds like a perfect use-case for Mastodon. You've got a special interest group that's looking for an open bulletin board, a dedicated Mastodon instance - with the possibility of linking up with different-industry-Mastodons - is tailor-made for this.

The brand name will probably be worth a few bucks. It'll even have a bit of notoriety post-Musk. By way of comparison, someone bought tumblr after it was driven into the ground:

Since I'm such an optimist: this should be a serious blow to the Cult of Musk, right?
Obviously most bazingas are going to keep screaming the Musk is not owned, as they shrink into fascist corncobs, but since he's directly loving with/killing one of journalists' favourite toy this should be an end to the fawning press coverage, right?
Most journalists are not bazingas, just common morons like you* or me, and motherfucker is killing their toy.

The person who picks the correct date of when Twitter dies (or closest to) gets a free av change/upgrade

I'll take submissions for the next week or so, unless Twitter folds before then and then uh... I guess no one wins?

Give me April 1 2023

And if Twitter folds or gets sold before the end of the year, we need gang tags

It is surreal watching something that I spent a whole lot of time on, for better or worse, disintegrate in real time.

One person I follow on twitter predicted that there would be a huge security disaster and it may be better to delete your account before that happens. I thought that may have been an exaggeration but going by today...I dunno...

The cool thing is that it seems like Twitter doesn't actually delete accounts, it just "deactivates" them. Any personal information you put out there is still fair game for getting leaked in a security breach, lmao

Twitter once came to me and was like, you spend shitloads of money with us, so were gonna offer you beta access to our new product. For only 1million usd you will get a... custom emoji!!!

Anyway I passed and like 6 months later that million dollar emoji was a pack in bonus to my standard plan for no extra cost.

Because people like that often don't climb. They're born on third and eased into executive positions while everybody else breaks their back to make up for their incompetence.

That, or they did their grunt work 30 years ago when the world was a different place, and now that they're the boss they aren't required to keep up.

Anyway I'm choosing the twitter death date of January 2nd, or 3rd if the 2nd is a public holiday in the US. He's going to come down off his new years booze and drugs and being kissed by people he paid to hang out with him and pull the plugs when he sees everyone making fun of him again.

It's probably best to not draw his attention to it, lest he make Jeff a ridiculous offer he can't refuse, and then drives it into the ground too for being mean to him.

I think Elon will hold onto twitter for an entire year to not seem like a failure and then announce that he has "fixed" the platform and sell it for nothing. he'll claim he did it for humanity so money was never the point.

My guess would be 1st November 2023.
