The richest man in the world is so not-mad that he uses his mom's Twitter account to sockpuppet complimentary posts about himself.

Definitely not a pathetic thing for a man of 51 to do....at all.

A legit university in a deep red state has to be careful about taking any action to anger the chud state government, or else risk round after round of state budget cuts in retaliation. they’ll cut the budget anyway

Wikipedia Article posted:

In November 2022 Musk claimed in a tweet that the episode correctly predicted his acquisition of Twitter, due to a scene where Lisa Simpson feeds birds that are in a birdhouse in Simpson's backyard with a sign that reads "Home Tweet Home". Though in reality this scene wasn't a direct reference to Twitter and occurs before Musk appears in the episode. Though it was also noted by The Independent that the subplot of Mr. Burns laying off a portion of the Springfield Power Plant's staff due to Musk, is similar to Musk's real life mass Twitter layoffs that occured soon after his acquisition of the platform.

Already a far more humorous Wikipedia article on the episode.

Some people eat at different times of the day, so it might not be dinner

Lol @ "Thanksgiving cuisine" though

No matter the time, a Thanksgiving meal would technically be dinner. A heavy meal at lunchtime that consists of multiple dishes can be considered dinner. If you have dinner at lunchtime then you have supper in the evening.

Basically my point is that no one has a Thanksgiving lunch.

So how did musk find that tweet in the first place? It doesn't look like a big name and i doubt he's subscribed to random nature feeds. Did he actually just search for new tweets containing "88"?

I initially didn't see that he was replying to some nature account and lost it, but even considering that he is, it's pretty fuckin' sus. What the gently caress is he doing responding to some random-rear end tweet about the wildlife in Madagascar? Waxing philosophical about Earth being isolated just like it? Please. Dollars to doughnuts he was searching for something with 88 in it that was vague enough to still be a dogwhistle, and he found that to quote tweet.

What are some of the other anti-semitic dogwhistles he's used or mouthpieces he's followed? There are definitely others.

I can't blame people for reading something into Elmo posting about '88'. He's gone so mask-off by palling around wit Ngo and Cheong that people would be forgiven to think that the dumb motherfucker was making a veiled 1488 reference.

That's a wild one, you've got Christians replying with Revelations quotes because Jesus will return in sooner than 88 million years, scientists talking about the expansion and death of the sun, and numerology nuts talking about hundreds of years of '88' being a secret conspiracy number. But yeah, he probably did search the number too.
