What billionaire vanity project would you rather sit through? 1. Elon Musk's stand-up comedy 2. New York Knicks owner James Dolan's country blues band "JD & The Straight Shot" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvGE2jXLBAo

Steve Ballmer is a hooting hollering maniac for his Clippers but if you didn't know who he was, he'd look like any other superfan

Its pretty amazing that twitter has become even more of an insufferable culture war battleground than it already was. Society is literally never eacaping all this loving whining and finger pointing victimhood narrative crafting.

Society is literally never eacaping all this loving whining and finger pointing victimhood narrative crafting. The idiotic war over the "right to post" on the most garbage, dipshit, anger inducing website ever created by man is terrible yeah Just... stop using Twitter. It's a garbage website anyway, it always was, even when it was "better" moderated. The "culture war" is so loving hilarious to me: you made almost two whole generations loving hate you globally over the span of 10+ years. Are you winning son? Is that victory wine in your mouths conservatives? TulliusCicero fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Dec 13, 2022 |

You're not supposed to think about it or ask follow-up question. Just accept that words were said, libs were owned, and move on. reminder that benny shaps was invited to speak with the guy trying to create a(nother) British Fox News, whose pretend intellectuals are advanced enough to have entire conversations, and, upon being asked a simple follow-up question, threw a tantrum, called the guy a liberal, and ran off set These people literally can't handle the softest of softball questions and spin out the second anyone in the room goes off script.

Probably won't be following this twitter musk stuff as closely next year unless something horrible happens that makes the mainstream news. Like one guy said a while back (Data Graham I think) its all playing out so predictably with all the right wing suspects coming out to rehash all the culture war narratives that have hobbled Western society for years now I just kind of feel like I've seen this show already. The 24/7 culture war victimhood narrative stuff was tired by the time Trump left office and its still pretty loving tired with Elon becoming the new main character of the right wing culture war show.

Someone mentioned earlier that he's terrified of having to re-live the fall of Apartheid, and that really contextualizes tweets like that.
