I clicked on someone's tweet just now and it was flagged as adult content so it said I needed to be logged in to see it. Which is fine, except the default landing page that it gave me instead was a giant full-screen Andrew Tate video

Mint Mobile is the lowest I've seen at $15 a month, per line. Verizon used to offer a "Basic" phone plan for non-smartphone phones, but they've buried that even deeper into the website and I don't remember how much that was.

I doubt it, because Elon is exactly the type of "CEO bro" they'd probably fawn over. But I don't know.

elon was in four episodes between 2014 and 2016, and voices himself in one of them so he 100% got a veto pass over the script

the wiki notes he's friends with matt and trey IRL so they're not going to dunk on him too hard

They did actually walk back the global warming and trans stuff in more recent seasons. But I don't remember Musky ever showing up.

This is as much a general lament about the state of the world as it is about Twitter specifically, but this tweet is a great barometer of where the hellsite is right now.

You've got a household name Hollywood celeb, now posting unverified, making a daft yet fun little video supporting drag performers, and the replies and quote tweets are full of blue check verifieds calling him a pedophile and groomer.

On the plus side, for those of us who need to keep an account there (read only mode for me right now, I just need the site to not die until I finish my own project that requires it not die just yet) it's a great honeypot tweet for drawing in all the chuds to block. With them now all at the top of the replies crowding out the normals it makes blocking them like shooting fish in a barrel. But imagine spending $44 BILLION for a website where you have international movie stars creating content for you, which brings in people to see those celebs and therefore creates an audience you can sell to advertisers, and you turn it into a nuclear wasteland of mutants screaming that those celebs are child rapists for the first few hundred replies under their tweet.

I can't believe I'm about to obliquely praise FaceBook here, but in FB if you block a troll the all their garbage replies are deleted off the post they replied to. On Twitter, you can remove the person throwing poo poo at you, but you still get covered in poo poo.

My working assumption would be that Tuckers ego has gotten so swollen that when Fox told him "Hey, could you tone it down on the poo poo that's costing us the best part of a billion dollars?" he threw a hissy fit so epic that it ended up with them parting ways

Did Tucker actually write his own scripts? I assumed he was just a mouthpiece for Fox's team of writers and the most he could do on his own would be to improvise during an interview.

I've never actually watched his show though, I've just scrolled past screenshots of him looking dumbfounded (apparently he always looked dumbfounded, constantly)

It's been years since I originally saw that episode, the character is definitely there but I remember thinking that in the whole context he was just an insecure rear end in a top hat trying to get back at Strong Woman and not a trans athlete. Who then gets beaten by actual little girls no less. But considering the real controversy the chuds are stirring up about the sports, it's probably at best very clumsy in that aspect.

regardless of their intent, if chuds go around hooting and hollering about how based your take on trans people is then you've probably not handled it well
