lol 90% of the comments are defending Musk

the idea that Musk could respond to anyone else regarding the stabbing instead of just going with the most Islamophobic source he could if he wanted to make his opinion known will never cross their minds

I'm ready for this Musk/Zuck fight, I am going to reverse mortagage my house and put it all on Macho Man. Randy Savage comes in off the top of the Octagon with a flying Elbow drop on Musk and begins leg dropping Musks face. Musk, stunned by the Macho Man, he attempts to block the attack, however to no avail. Musk begins letting out out high pitched cries for help as Randy Savage continues his onslaught. Savage picks musk up by his hair, and pulls his face close in to his.

-Savage: "I Installed Tesla Autopilot on these arms right heereee, and they're destination is your face!!!!"

Savage raises a closed fist and hammer drives a solid connection to Musks head.

Unfettered by witnessing this attack, Zuckerburg goes immediately into ground defense position. He lifts up a flap on his arm and types in a code on his implanted wrist tablet. Leaves begin forming around Zuckerburg in exact fashion as seen in Megan Man 2 after acquiring wood man powers. Randy Savage turns to Zuck, while Musk is being carried In Savages arms. He tosses Musk out of the ring into a mobile popcorn stand. Musk is coated in liquid butter.


-Savage: "ooh... I got your A.I......RIIGHT HERREE!!"

Randy Man Savage looks up towards the sky and begins shouting, all while raising his fists up to the heavens. A beam of pure, white energy descends from beyond the ceiling, piercing it as if the ceiling never existed. Savage is engulfed in the energy, all but his two fists that appear to be clenching ever so forcefully as time passes. Randy unleashes a powerful yelp as the beam of energy stops instantly. The lights in the arena flicker for a few seconds and a loud clash of thunder is heard off in the distance. The audience, stunned and afraid, turn their eyes to Randy Savage....However.... Randy had changed...

Savage, emerged from the energy, was transformed into Cloud From the hit video Game Final Fantasy VII. Ultima Weapon in hand, Savage Readies himself.

-Savage: "Musk's Dyin'...Zuck....Mwhahahahhaah!!!"

Savage leaps into an ultima attack as Zuck throws a barrage of leaves at hurricane speed towards Savage.

TUNE IN TO THE FIGHT TO SEE THE RESULTS

The Guardian itself has been infamous for typographical errors for decades, it's commonly referred to as the Grauniad

Once it had to publish a corrections column that apologised for the previous day's corrections column, as they had misspelled the word "misspelled"

It's still the fastest and easiest source for breaking news about any number of subjects, especially the ones you aren't likely to see on the front page of CNN or the BBC or Fox or whatever. And it will be until something better comes along and the people who break the news switch platforms.

Editors dont exist anymore. Published articles get the same level of review as an email, a quick scan by the person who wrote it and then hit send.

:same:

Pre Musk it was less echo chamber-y so when some chud posted something you'd see a bunch of leftists chime in and get some dunks in, and many more back and forth slapfights. Right wingers were quicker to block you or loudly whine about cancel culture if you posted some zinger in their threads.

Now, it's more one sided as a lot of the witty leftists moved on but also chuds now almost never block people, perhaps banking on simply getting them banned. The progressively weirder ads make the whole place feel like kind of a hillbilly swap meet where you go mainly to gawk at people and eavesdrop on their inane conversations.

the trajectory the Twitter ads are taking honestly feels like a very good slow-burn comedy bit that Tim Heidecker would write. like you have the A-plot fascism stuff in the foreground and the B-plot collapse of twitters functionality and then as a running joke in the background ads just get weirder and weirder
