actually, waving a giant metal pipe around and acting like an unhinged lunatic at every opportunity is a great way to avoid getting shot. The crazy motherfuckers who carry guns around with them everywhere will recognize you as a fellow kindred spirit and leave you in peace. what hes really gotta look out for is the tesla mistaking him for a kid

Only 6 hour probe for that level of transphobia? For those (mods) who are unaware the British system is so bad, with a 19 year wait for a first apointment, that trans women are forced to go overseas.

It should be 6 hours for not being funny, and the rest. :/

The editor that chose the photo for this article deserves a raise.

My visceral reaction to these stories is always "why did you do this, what the gently caress were you thinking" and then as more details come out it slowly dawns on me that this behavior was normal for them and this is just what we've learned about so far

like he should just look up CA or TX voting requirements and ripoff those.

Only way to vote on a Twitter poll is to go to Twitter HQ and vote in person in Elon's office. This is to make sure the votes are fair and not fraudulent. Twitter blue will stop the steal

Now that Twitter has shut down third party API, I can't use it other than in a browser with ublock origin. I've been using Tweetbot for nearly 12 years, and it's the only reason I ever enjoyed the hell site. It's probably for the best (for me) because now I can't use Twitter on my phone and I will never install Twitter's ad-riddled app. At least Twitter web lets you mute things, so I can still tweak my experience. Must really has taken all of the fun out of it.

TBQH the damages will probably be pretty low on the scale of musk money -- proving how much of the swing in TLSA's price was due to musk's tweets and how much was just the stock being volatile is kinda impossible. And he's got a point in his favor that the stock went way up later on. So it's not like this lawsuit is a massive jam for him to be stuck in.

It’s another chance for comedy lines like “I’ve been in enough lawsuits to know the law :smug:”, which are always welcome.

Just clicking through the recs on twitter is quite a trip, that place went loving nuts. Apparently they think Bill Gates is going to poison their food with mRNA now?

Sounds like facebook after the disinfo campaigns from predatory opportunists and foreign powers got set up. Unbanning the bigots and similar predatory opportunists who would demonize minorities also hasn't helped, since they pushed that poo poo hard on facebook since facebook's management understands and is sympathetic to the right's strategy of fearmongering about the other and so turned a blind eye to it until large chunks of the place became a violent cesspit.

That this coincides with the right's strategy of lying to get power is concerning.

Dang, I didn't mean it like that at all. Just poking fun at how you can get more or less anything done if you have enough money and go to places with less rules/laws.

I'm pretty much as not transphobic as one can be. I'll grant you that wasn't really funny at all though. Sometimes we take a swing and miss.

He thinks everyone is as twitter-addicted as he is, so if he turns off the outside apps they'll go to the site, rather than just... not going on Twitter anymore. The idea that someone might just not interact with twitter is alien to him.
